A HOLDUP ON THE UNION PACIFIC.
Empty Mail Pouches Are Found, But

tured-—The Holdup Occurred Only
Half A Mile Out Of Omaha—Pas-
sengers Not Harmed,
Omaha, Neb. (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. Two of the |
robbers, who had evidently gotten
on at a town farther west, climbed
on the engine with drawn revolvers
and forced the engineer to
train. The crew was ordered
of the cab, and two of the
stood guard while the
