Masked Bandits Hold Up Train and Loot Express Car
A band of masked robbers derailed a mobile express train at dawn near a Louisiana location, firing shots, taking cash and valuables in multiple pouches, and fleeing on horseback after firing a warning shot. Officials declined to disclose exact totals but reported several hundred thousand dollars in currency, bonds, jewelry, and certificates stolen from the express car. Local guards and railway personnel attempted a pursuit as authorities reviewed the scene for clues.
