THE WORK OF ROAD A0ENTS.
They Bob an Express Oar of $10,000
in Cash and Other Valuables.
Columbia, III?Six masked m en h*'d
? up ihe Mow Orleans express on the Mon
bilo & Ohio Railroad at Forest Lawn,
1 eight miles north of here at 0 o'clock in
5 the night and robbed the express car of
8 $10,000 in cash aud valutbles worth a
6 large amount. Tho robbeiy did nq$ oc
r cupy oTer twenty minutes' time. A large
> posse is nqw in purawit of the bandits,
r The express makes a short atop at
j Forest Law?, and pbeo It came to* stop
> pointed, revolvers at the heads
? engineer and fireman,'old them not to
s attempt to stait the train again. While
1 this was taking place four men appeared
' at tho sido of the express car. Oae placed
1 a short Udder against the car, thcnchopp
d a hole in the door. It took but a
h moment to do this, and before the astonished
mcsseng. r realized what was bap0
peuing, the door Lurst open and fotir
men were in the car. Messenger Bran1
ford attempted resistance but was silence 1
, by a blow with a hatchet in tho hands of
s the robber who had chopped a hole in
1 the door. The baodits lost no time in
o ransacking the car. Bradford was only
partially stunned by the blow he bad rc
ccivcd nnd bis assailants revived him ami
e forced hiin to optn the safe. Its conR
tents they placed in a snck, together with
c what other valuables they secured. Bran
c ford was then bound, gagged and cast inl>
to a corner of the car. When the bandits
t had completed their task in tho express
s car they jumped to the ground. The
conductor and several of the trainnnn
r opened fire on them. They returneii it
w ith interest, though none of the bulkts.
u so far as is known, took effect,
c The bandits were armed with Winches
2 ters and revolvers anddrove their assaili
a rts into the cars aflRmong the passens
ecrs, who were rendered panic stricken
, 1>y tho fusilade. The volley of shots
i heard were apparently fired for intimi8
d .tion and then the robbers took to their
heels. There was every chance for them
c to escape as the place is a lonely one
a with swamps and underbrush on each
5 side of the track for-* distance of two or
8 three mifos. - - ' ?
There is uo telegraph station at Forest
Lawn, rendering the summoning of aid
in that way an impossibility. The members
of the crew arc pooitivc the bandits
numbered six.
M? ssenger Branford states that everything
of any value was taken from h's
c?r. The exact amount of money lie declined
to name. Ono of the robbers who
entered the express car was addressed by
his pals as "Bob" and wore chin whiskers.
One of his bauds was bleeding
from injutics received ou entering the
car. lie wore a fox colored suit and
weighed about 140 pounds. Auother one
of the robbers who extended his attentions
to the brakemau and made him
obey his orders was about five feet eight
inches tall, smooth face, age about 22,
and weighed 145 pounds. Two who
waited op the engineer were about 22 or
25 years of age, one measuring five feet
six iuchcs, the other about six feet. No
other positive description could be obtained
of the others except that they
wore black masks and dark suits.
UNEARTHING A TREASURE.
Jewels and Gold Hidden by Order of
Maximilian Found in Mexico.
City ok Mexico.?A few days ago
some old and musty documents were
found here by which it was learned that
treasure, consisting of jewels and gold
coin, amounting in value to $2,000,000,is
buried in this city. The documents state
that tlio wealth was secreted by order of
Emperor Maximilian. The discovery of
these documents produced a sensation
amoig those who were permitted to share
the secret, nud preparations were at once
made for unearthing the treasure. Tho
work of excavation was begun, and in a
i short time a clay vessel Oiled with gold
powder was uae?i tiled. Then came several
pieces of silverware. A depth of only a
few feet has been reached, the work having
been temporarily interrupted by a
great flow of water into tho cavity. As
soon as the water can be shut out or controlled,
the work of excavation will be
resumed. There seems to be no doubt
about the documents being genuine and
it is believed that all of the great wealth
will bo unearthed.
Georgia Mellons Moving.
Georgia melons have started North.
The lirst carload was shipped from Albany,
Ga., to Cincinnati, nud they are
cointr bv the traidload to points all the
j. way from Rostou to St. Paul. Melongrowers
say the crop will be unusually
large and that the melons will be of good
m quality. About 10,000 acres arc planted |
to melons in southwest Georgia alone. 1
it An idea of the size of the shipments can
be gained when it is stated that the
Georgia Central Railroad Co. expects to
i. ship 3,000 carloads. The Chicago demand
will be very large, and the growers anticLp
