handed, a masked robber held up the
west-bound passenger train on the

$500 in cash, several watches and a
quantity of jewelry. The robbery
occurred after the train left AthoI,

Evidently Carefully Planned.
The hold-up was evidently carefully
planned, and was executed with a cool
deliberation which showed the rob.
Der thoroughly understood his bust
ness. Until he left the train, few of
the passengers realized that only one
man was in the plot. Conductor Dun

who offere serious resistance, and a

made. He is described as being a lit
tie over five feet in heigth, of slight
build, had a light mustache and wore
a dark suit of clothes, a mask and
a SLOUGH hat. After the train leftAthol

After cleaning up both Pullmans
the robber entered the tourist car.
Here the occupants began to scream
with terror and attracted the atten-
ton of the conductor, who was in
the forward part of the coach. He
came down the aisle, and the robber
backed out the car door and slipped
off the platform as the train was
pulling into Rathdrum.
