Boise, Ida, Sept. Bob Meeks, the
notorious Montpelier bank robber, was
brought to the penitentiary here today
to serve a 35-year sentence, The trip
from Montpelier to Boise was one, of
the most exciting in the history of the
Short Line. The gang. of which
Meeks was a member had Threatened
to 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 undoubtedly
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
Housen of the Short Line mounted the
engine cab and stood there with rifle
in hand, until after passing Mont
pelier.
Meeks was placed on board at Mont
pelier, under a heavy guard, no less
than 20 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 Meeks
was brought through without trouble,
after having been the cause of holding
up the entire railroad system, in
Guiding the United States mail.
The passengers were in an ugly
frame of mind over the delay, but
drew a sigh of relief when told of the
possibilities of death and disaster had
the train not been held back.
