Volver and Relieved of
$50 Bill.
THREE FELLOWS IN THE JOB
Victim is CorralIed While On His
Way to Fifth Avenue
Depot.

E. IL. Hoskins, the colored porter
on Conductor AL StafTord's train on
the Rock Island, reported to the po-
lice about 2 o'clock this morning that
he had been held up while on his way
over from his home in Davenport to
get his train, and relieved of $50 bill.
He was afoot and had reached the
bridge across Sylvan slough when
three men who were lettering on the
north end of the bridge approached
and one of them thrust revolver
under Hoskins' nose. Another grabbed
a cane he was carrying and struck
him over the head several times.
Set Out for Davenport.
The bill was all that Hoskins had
about his person and after securing
it the thieves went north toward
Davenport. Hoskins came on and
told his story to the Rock Island po-
lice. The latter notified Davenport
and the guard at the north end of the
bridge, but the three fellows had
already gotten off the bridge and
could not be found.
A hackman who was crossing the
bridge before the robbery saw the
three men on the Sylvan bridge. Hos
kins went out on train No. 5.
