Posses Looking for '' the Desperado. . (Ry 'Leased Wire to Thf Times.) Kansas City Mo., Dec. 26. Two posses today were scouring the woods : around northwestern junction, and the police in all nearby towns, were looking for a bandit who celebrated Christmas day by robbing.- one hun dred passengers and shooting Cap't H. It, Nebold, U. S. A., stationed at Fort Leavensworth, on Missouri Pa clfic train No. 112, shortly before midnight. .', . The train was from St. Joseph bound for St. Louis. The bandit boarded the train at ijeavensworth junction in .the out skirts of Leavensworth, and after the train had started, pushed open the door- of the Pullman and confronted J he crew and passengers with a re volver. .. After robbing them, he cut the bell cord leading to the engine, and cau tioned the porter and conductor to keep still. He went through the car, taking up a Christmas collection or watches and money and proceeded to to the chair-car and smoker until he had relieved every passenger of all the valuables not nailed down. By the time the lone robber had finished his work, the train had reached Kansas City, Kansas, and the robber compelled the porter to. open a door. He dropped off at North western Junction and disappeared. When the train reached Kansas City, the police and sheriff were noti fied and posses were hastily organ ized. No trace was found of the man and it was believed he either took to the woods or came jo Kansis City. The train proceeded to St. Louis, with the passengers mourning their losses. The value of the money and watches and jewelry stolen will not be known until the passengers file their claims with the railroad. Captain Newbold, who was shot when he attempted to stop the ban dit, received a painful scalp wound. He was cared for by a local surgeon. '"We had just left Leavensworth, and 1 was in the forward end of the observation car when the robber boarded the train," said Conductor May today.

The Hichhorns are members of Washington's most exclusive society circle, Mis. Hiclihoni being the sister o fthc wife of Mr. Yon Sdiiiii, of Wyiles have four children. Letvensworth. was sitting in the ob servation end of tho car and saw the robber climb onto tho rear -platform and over the. guard rail, He thought for a moment that the man had made a run for the. train after it had started. As Jhe robber entered the door, Mr. Johnson noticed he had a blue bandana handkerchief tied around the lower part, of his face. He told Mr. Johnson to throw up his hands and when he did not suit the action to the word fast enough he struck him on the side of the head witli his revolver, almost felling him, "I entered the observation com partment at the moment and, taini;- ing that some of the hoys were play ing a Christmas joke, I said, 'Here, there, what are you doing?' " " 'Hold up your hands,' replied the robber. I didn't get them up '-fast enough and he made a swat at me. with his gun. His next command was 'Turn your -faces to the wall.' As we turned, the porter and the Pullman conductor entered the com nartment. They faced about with their hands up, as did Captain New bold.' "Newbold turned and made a move that was interpreted as unfriendly by the robber, for at that instant a bul let was sent through his scalp. "One by one, the robber took us and searched us, throwing our tickets and papers on the floor and taking our money and watches. As he fin ished, he pulled out a knife and cut the signal cord. This prevented, us from signalling the engineer. "At the outskirts of Kansas City we made the 'usual stop for tue Northwestern crossing. The robber compelled the porter, to open the ves tibule door, and he jumped off the train." -:. The distance in which the robber nnerated is 27 miles. There were no stops, and from the manner in which the robbery was accomplished it is believed the bandit had studied the eround thoroughly 'and was also familiar with trains and equipments. Among other passengers on cue Pullman who were robbed was Mi6s Sadie Beach,, of Leavensworth. i She received more courteous treatment than the other passengers. When the bandit reached her lie did not. point his revolver at her, hut simply taking, hold of her purse, exclaimed: Oh, give nte that pocketboolt. He got the purse. 1 'I was the first one he saw after he had swung on the car,rt said Mr. Robert M. Johnson, of Leavensworth, Kansas, a civil engineer. - v "I Euess I looked surprised. Any way, he struck me a blow witli tlie barrel of his revolver. The blow stunned me, but not before heard him shout: 'Hands up, there, find face the front.; He got $30 from me every cent I had." W.
