     At three a.m., Jack Mills was sitting at the controls of the mail train. The train was made up of 13 cars.

and 128 bags full of five-pound notes. This train had run more than 100 years without being robbed. At three
minutes past three, Mills and his helper, David Whit by, saw a yellow warning light. They slowed the train,
and then stopped. Whit by went to the telephone beside the track. It was out of order. Then he saw a man
moving between the second and the third car. Before Whit by could give a warning, he was knocked down
by two men. Mills' cars with all the mailmen had been disconnected by the robbers. At the bridge, the bags
of money were unloaded from the train and thrown into waiting trucks. One of the robbers who obviously

The basketball final between Perfect School and Sunrise School has entered white-hot stage. There are only fifteen seconds left. Sunrise School is one point ahead.
