CRIMINAL MYSTERY SOLVED

Masked Man in Lewistown Narrows
Robbery Uncovered by Detectives
1t is an almost startling develop
ment that in delving for the facts of
a great mystery the solution of it
should be found. Such is the strik-
ing feature of work undertaken in
preparing for publication the story
of "The Lone Bandit of Lewistown
Narrows," which will appear in the
Magazine Section of next Sundays
North American. Two years ago a
lone and unknown bandit startled
the country by holding up and rob-
bing one of the fastest express trains
on the Pennsylvania Railroad in
"The Narrows," near Lewistown.
The very audacity of the performance
stamped the robbery as one of the
unique crimes of the age. From
the day it was committed the crimi-
nal was a mystery until after the
original manuscript story of the
crime was prepared for publication
| in The North American. 1t was in
checking up the incidents that in
quiries were inspired the answering
of which furnished the solution.
The story of the robbery is retold in
fascinating style in the Sunday North
Americans article, and the solution
that goes with it is also furnished.
e 30 ID I'D
countrywide interest in the solution
of the great crime mystery, the de-
mand for The North American will
undoubtedly be enormous. Those
who desire to read it should order
the paper we'll in advance of Sunday.
