HOLD UP GANG At WORK.
Four Men Held UP and Robbed In
Car Between Bismarck and James

Four Men Held Up and Robbed In
Car Between Bismarck and James
town.
Details of the manner in which !
four men were held up and robbed
between Bismarck and jamestown /
Tuesday night we're given to the pol
ice at jamestown Wednesday. This
is the third robbery that has occurred
between jamestown and Bismarck re-
Gently and it is believed that bad
gang is at work. The young fellow
who reported the matter was of r. s.
pectable appearance and stated that
he and three other young men from
Illinois had been employed in the
Pacific coast country for some time
and were working their way home to
Illinois. They boarded an empty box
car at Mandan Monday night with the
intention of riding to jamestown. At
ter leaving Bismarck two other men
entered the car and as they were
tough appearing characters the four
men got out of the car and were rid
ing on top. After reaching a place
east of Bismarck where the train was
running rapidly the other two fellows
they had left in the car came up or
| top Of the train and ordered this par
ticular young fellow to throw up his
hands. ell thought the fellows were
joking and did not comply readily,
and was treated to severe beating
on the head with revolver He then
threw up his hands and was relieved
of valuable gold watch which his
father had given him before he left
home. He had nice sum of money
on his person but the robbers over
looked it, luckily.
He and his friends were not clos !,
together on the train so that in the
| darkness his friends could not see
what was going on. The other boys
threw up their hands and were re-
lieved of their valuables with the ex-
ception of the fourth and he, too,
thought the order Of the robbers was
a joke He, however, thought differ
emily shortly as he was hit terrific
blow by one of the robbers with a
blunt instrument such as the butt of a
revolver, as to fracture his skull.
When the blow was struck the concus-
sion must have exploded the gun as
there was a report and just then one
of the brakemen started over the
train with lantern. AS soon as the
robbers saw him coming they drew
their guns on the four unfortunate
victims and ordered them to jump OF
3 die The train was going at high
rate of speed but they had no alter
native but to jump and take chance
$ on breaking their limbs. They, how
u ever, escaped with a few bruises an
general shaking up.
