The Georgia Enterprise November 14, 1889
     Two men armed with Winchester rifles were seen in the vicinity of 
Irondale, Ala., eight miles from Birmingham, late Wednesday afternoon. Soon 
after dark they robbed two citizens half a mile from the town. One of the men 
robbed reported that one of the highwaymen filled the description of RUBE 
BURROW, the train robber.


Note* This was in a different section in the same issue as above.

     RUBE BURROW, the train robber, took a ride on the night express train on 
the Kansas City, Memphis and Birmingham railroad Tuesday night. He was seen and 
recognized, but no one attempted his capture. He boarded the train, west bound, 
at a small station in the western part of Alabama, and rode a few miles across 
the line into Mississippi. He was alone, but carried a large Winchester rifle 
and two pistols.
