Oregon short Lines Procaution to Prevent
Serious Conflict

Boise, Ida, Sept. Bob Meels,
She notorious Montpelier bank robber,
has been brought to the penitentiary

one of the most exciting in the history
of the Short Line. The gang, of
which Meeks was member, had
threatened 10 take Meeks away from
the sheriff, and their statement that
Meeks would never be placed in stripes
caused the railroad officials no little
uneasiness and their precaution un-
doubtedly saved a serious conflict.
The train was held at Granger four
hours so as to bring it into Montpelier
in daylight
At Granger Superintendent Van
iIousen Of the Short Line mounted the
engine cab and stood there with rifle
in hand, until after passing Mont
pelier
Meelis was placed on board at Mont
pelier, under heavy guard, no less
than twenty armed men watching
every suspicious character. with orders
to shoot TO kill at the first outbreak.
A dozen armed deputies got on the
train, being distributed around, and
MeelSs was brought through without
trouble, after having been the cause OF
holding up the entire railroad system,
including the United States mail
The passengers were in an ugly
frame of mind over the delay, but
drew sigh OF relief when told of the
possibilities of death and disaster
had the train not been held back

go ahead.
