FUSILLADE OF SHOTS TO SCARE PASSENGERS
Masked men attempted a daring robbery of a Baltimore and Ohio passenger train near Chicago while en route from the east. They dynamited a mail car and fired on the sleeping cars, terrifying passengers but failing to steal cash. The express car containing the train’s treasure was in an unexpected position, and the robbers fled after discovering it had no money. A large posse chased them, with dynamite sticks later found along the track.
