Daring train hold up by masked men near Chicago fails
Five masked robbers tried to seize the Baltimore and Olio passenger train between Edgemore and Calumet Heights Indiana thirty one miles from Chicago. They dynamited a car, but the express car with treasure was not where they expected. They seized the engineer and fireman, forced uncouplings, and fled after finding no loot. An express messenger reported a $50,000 gold and silver cargo in the mail car. No one was injured. A large posse pursued the thieves within an hour of the attempted robbery.
