REVOLVER.
With Bullet Wound Under the Heart
Railroader Takes Weapons from
Yeggman and Floors Him.

Edwardsport, Ind.-With a bullet
hole under his heart, Albert Lee,
so years old, station agent for the
Indianapolis & Vincennes Railroad
company, fought hand to hand with
81 desperate robber who attempt
ed to hold up the station, and beat
the bandit into Inconsistencies with
his own revolver.
Lee is at the point of death as a
result of the bullet wound. The rob-
Der, who gave the name of George
Boyd, and says he resides on Blake
street, Indianapolis, is under arrest.
Boyd entered the station at a lone
ly hour and, with a butcher knife in
one hand an a revolver in the other,
ordered Lee to surrender. Instead of
needing the order, Lee rushed furious
ly at the robber and tried to knock
the weapons from his hands, In the
struggle, Boyd fired and the bullet
struck Lee in the breast.
The agent, however, kept fighting
and finally wrested the knife and re-
volyer from Boyd. He then beat and
slashed the robber into insensibility
and collapsed. Lees small son, who
was in the station, called in citizens
and Boyd was bound securely before
he regained consciousness.

The statement was made to Justice
Louis Weller of Glen Carbon, ILL.,, and

returned a verdict of accident.
Zadra was convicted of completely
