Williamsville some one pulled the bell rope
and the train came to a halt. Two men,
one of whom had a red handkerchief over
his face and the other a mask of some
black material, forced the porter at tiie
point of revolvers to uncouple the engine,
mail and express carr from the train and
compelled Engineer Mattis to run a short
distance up the track with them. The rob

ordered the messenger to open the safe.
It is believed the hold-up was the work of
farmers living in the vicinity. Sheriff Hogg
at once summoned a posse and is now on
the trail of the robbers. It is expected they
will soon be captured as tho trainmen give
a full description of them.
The train reached St. Louis this morning.
The passengers were not the least excited.
