st. Louis Republican, August 3O:-"Mr.
Hugo jacobson. one Of the party robbed OPP
posite Lexington, Mo-, last Thursday night,
returned TO the city yesterday, and was met
by q Republican reporter at bis place Of
business, 927 North Fourth street. He says
that with six other passengers he was In an
omnibus going from the station IN the Wa
bash railroad to the ferryboat, when the 'bus
was suddenly stopped by four armed men
who ordered the passengers to get out and
hold up their hands. This they did without
further delay, when the robbers took all the
money the party had and several watches,
but altogether did not get more than $500.
Mr.. Jacobson lost $12 and . nlcksl-pIated
watch with a gold chain. Mr.. A G. Felphf
Of this city, and Mr.. G. B. Robinson, q
travelling man for J. Kennard & Son, also
lost small mou Of money and theiI
watches, but the latter, by q little talking,
persuaded the robbers to return the watch
