A LONE BANDIT
Holds Up Passengers on An Iron Noun
tain Train-Conductor Compelled
to Assist In tho Work.

A south bound passenger train
on the Iron Mountain was held up
by lone bandit near Higgin-
son, 45 miles north of Little Rock,
early on the morning Of April 27th.
1t is thought the robber was a white
man disguised as negro. He made no
effort to enter the express and mail
cars, and robbed only passengers. The
train was in charge of Conductor Collett,
and as he started into the chair car the
robber showed revolver into his face
and compelled him to go in front while
relieving the passengers of their money.
The bandit refused to take any jew
elry, and secured less than $500 in cash.
The heaviest loser was Mr. E. Riegel,
from New York, who handed over $215.
After completing the tour of the chair
car the robber pulled the air cord, and
as the train slowed up he jumped of
and disappeared in the woods.
