They Are Known to Be a Gang of Tough Indian Territory Outlaws.
VINITA, I. T., Dec. 25.—The five or six train robbers who held up the south bound express and passenger train on the Kansas and Arkansas Valley road at Seminole station last night were all young men. They were dressed like cowboys, wearing top boots and broad brimmed hats. The gang is believed to be the same that attempted to hold up a passenger on the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Friday evening. Bob Rogers and Charley Wolf are thought to be the leaders. The gang has operated in the northern portion of the Indian territory for the past year, terrorizing the entire community. One of the gang was killed by officers last July and another is now serving a term in the penitentiary for larceny. It is not known how much booty they secured but it is known that it was considerable.
