(Special).—Although the police and the sheriff have had large forces of men scouring the country around the scene of the hold- up of a Union Pacific passenger train near Omaha, when seven sacks of mail were secured, little progress has been made toward tracing the rob- bers. Two empty mail pouches were found near Forty-third and Jackson Streets, which lead the police to be- lieve that the robbers came towards Omaha. All four of the men wore long raincoats and were masked. ‘he police believe they had either an automobile or a fast horse. The fact that only two of the rifled pouches have been found indicates that they were in no hurry to divide their loot. The train robbed was No. 2, bound, known as the Overland Limi- ted, and hold-up occurred just before midnight. The train was de- tained but fifteen minutes and left | Omaha for Chicago on time. | The robbery took place within al mile of the city limits.
