ACkd6 ETeSS ASS
Denver, Aug. 31.-Sixty men who
were riding into this city early this
morning in a Union Pacific freight car
were held rp by three masked men
and robbed. The robbery occurred
just this side OF Brighton, suburb of
Denver. The men who were robbed
are section men and had been working
for q month or more on cut on the
Union Pacific. They were paid on
Saturday at Cheyenne and started in
freight car for Denver, each paying
the brakeman dollar. Just before
midnight three men, who were on top
of the car, climbed down and swung
inside. They were masked and arm
cd and, covering the sixty men with
pistols they commanded them to throw
up their hands. All of the men obey
ed the command. The robbers then
proceeded to search the men. They
secured from S. to $50 from each man.
and did not overlook watches. The
robbers then closed the doors on either
side of the car, sprinkled some turpen.
tine which they carried over a lot of
refuse and ignited it. By the light
they proceeded to rob the section
hands, none of them offering any re-
sistance. Some of the men escaped
loss as they had their money hidden.
At a siding close to the Denver yard,
where the train stopped the robbers
climbed back to the top Of the car and
threatened to kill anyone who made
an outcry. The victims took no
chances androde into the city discon-
solately. The robbers jumped off the
train with their booty Is is thought
that the robbers are the same who
held up a lot OF tourists a week ago,
and who find it more profitable to rob
men riding in freight than in passen-
ger cars.
