A R11KST8 MADE.
Mnsiritis, Mo., Sept. 19.—An attempt was made to hold up train No. 5 going west on tho Santa Fo at 2:15 Tuesday morning* near Gorln, Mo., in tins county. One of the persons in the plot to rob the train told the officers here about three weeks ago and they communicated the fact to the officials of the road. The first night set for the deed was Thursday, .September 0, but a heavy rain coming" up the attempt was abnndoned, as the robbers wished to accomplish their purpose and quietly return home to their accustomed work as though nothing had happened, but they feared the tracks made in the soft ground would betray them. The second night set for the deed was Friday, tiie 14th lust., but the weather was again unfavorable and the attempt was put off until Tuesday morning.
E. Mc Daniel's, who had advised the officers of the plot, went with C. E. Abrains and Link Overtleld and two nther robbers to Gorin. .Sheriff \V. H. .Sating and t'it-y Marshal L. E. Hyrue went to Medill, east of (torin, and joined Detective J. J. Kinney and two assistants of the. Santa Fe, 0. W. {Stockton, detective of the WellsFargo express, and two assistants, and took passage on train No. 5.
Shot the Kng iiieer.
As they neared Gor:u the engineer noticed the switch signal light had been removed. He heard a torpedo explode ami saw a signal dag being waved, iie answered the signal and stopped the train. Abrains. the leader of the gang, ran to the engineer and ordered him to throw up Itis hands. The engineer was a little slow in renponding and A brains shot him in the shoulder, inflicting a slight liesh wound Detective Kinney, who was concealed in the tender, shot Abrams in tho shoulder with a double-barreled shotgun loaded with buckshot. Abrams started for the brush and the other robbers ran for their horses. Abrams' horse was killed by one of Kinney's assistants. The robbers lied when the other officers appeared. The officers followed in pursuit, but did not find them. The officer* came to Memphis about 4 o'clock a. m., got out warrants and went miles northeast of this city and located Abrams and Overfleld, brought them to town ami they are now in jail. Abrams will die. Two others are supposed to have been implicated in the hold-up and the officers are after them, but refuse to give their names. All the men are residents of this county. l'uriner IlumUtH Arc Captured. ("Ixarles Abrams and Link Overfleld, the two farmer bandits arrested for their part in the attempted Santa Fe train robbery, were captured only after a stubborn fijrht. Both made their way directly to their homes, situated 10 miles southeast of here in a lonely part of the country. Abrams, who received a full load of buckshot in the face, was compelled to walk the entire distance, his horse haviug been killed by the detectives. When he arrived home Abrams was secreted behind a bureau. He had practically run the whole distance, and when Sheriff Saling and hiB posse with the railroad detectives came up to the house after his arrival he was faint. However, when he knew that escape was out of the question he made a bold attempt to stand off his captors with a revolver, but the officer's had the advantage of him and ho finahy gave in. After he had been handcuffed the search for the other bandits was resumed.
On the farm of Mrs. Tull, near by, tin? officers found Overiield, who had crawled under a bed. The house was first surrounded and a deputation sent in to make the search. Mrs. Tull and her two daughters stoutly denied that Overfleld was in the house. Over field showed fight .when discovered, but before he could use a revolver lie was grabbed by one of the officers. A fierce struggle ensued, the bandit finally being overpowered. Then both he and Abrams, with two brothers of the former, around whom suspicion also rests, were handcuffed and taken to Memphis. A search for the remainder of the "gaug" is being made. The examination of the four men now under arrest will take place to-day.
The Comluftor'n Story.
KANSAS CITY. MO., Sept. 1.—When the train that was waylaid at Gorin, Mo., reached this city the Kansas C'it}* passengers were not loth to leave it after their night of suspense. Several of them, as they expressed themselves to on Associated Fress reporter passed the worst night of their lives and for a time thought it would be their last.
George Blue, one of the conductors of the train, in his official report, made after reaching Kansas City, says: "I was in tho n»ftr purt of the truin when I heard the engineer answer flaRnmn's signal. The train *oou came to a standstill and hi a few minutes I lizard gun shots. 1 hurried buck and sent out my flagman to protect the rear end of tlio train. Hy the timu this was done the firing began. Wbeu 1 reached the ground I saw three men by the side of the express car- One man fell to the ground and I supposed bo was shot. Whether or not he .was able to got- up or was carried away hy his pals do n»t know. The other so mon went in under the express car and escaped to the south. They did not get away Immediately, however, for they were surrounded by the guards, who began shooting rapidly. ••On ulther shle of the track there is a dense timber and the robbers had only to run a few feet to get under cover. I found that William Presoott was, bhot in the right shoulder, and 1 only romaiueu a few minutes.-when puUed the train Into t'u) station so as to have ins Wound looked after. "Engineer lJre*eoU told me ho was* liayg'.d

by a red lantern, and It coming in so near tbo station and there being a curve juat ahead ol him, he supposed there was train at the Matiou and the track was not clear, aad that this was one of their flagmen. But when he stopped and the bandits were getting up on to his engine and he realized their business, he culled to them to keep off. Without more ado they opened tire on him. Soon after this the guards opened fire and the battle was on. The guards did nobly. They followed the robbers Itito the dense timber In the darkness and crowded them so closely that they shot one of their hordes."
