OLD FASHIONED TRAIN ROBBERY Four masked bandits held up and robbed forty passengers on the "Louisiane," crack southern train of the Illinois Central Rail-roacl, Friday evening between Chicago and Kankakee. After shooting and seriously wounding one of the passengers, George R. Kerr, of Chicago, the bandits leaped from the train as it approached Kankakee and escaped. Then they kidnaped a motorist, Edward Goetzler, of Kankakee, and fled with him, but later released him near Whea-ton, HI. The total loot was said to be about 00.
