ARREST BRAKEMAN
TRAIN ROBBER
Keyser, w. Va, Feb. 20

O., is under arrest here charged
with being the bandit who held
up Baltimore & Ohio train No.
near Piedmont, w. Va, and took
the money and jewelry of a score
of passengers.
Becker says he is innocent. He
explains the four watches, two
revo1vers and $133 in money
found in his pockets by the police
by saying that kind hearted
tramp with whom he spent the
night gave them to him.
Becker was arrested at Forty
Mile water station, 9 miles West
of Piedmont. He was sitting in
front of small campfire, when
the sheriff's posse, searching for
the bandit, rode up.
Hello, boys" he called.
Throw up your hands-fast,"
said deputy sheriff, displaying
a Colts.
ooh, all right, if you feel that
way about it" said Becker, and
complied with the order.
Becker boarded the train he
held up either at eKyser Or Pied
mont. He waited until the train
was slowly pulling UP heavy
grade, and then drew revolver
from his pockets.
Just to show it was a real, hon
est-to-goodness revolver he fired
a few shots into the roof of the
Pullman sleeper, and ordered the
porter and conductor to throw
up their hands.
They did so. Becker marched
down the car, and relieved the
sleep passengers of their yalua-

bles. Then he said goodnight,
and, still keeping the revolver
displayed prominently, dropped
off the train, and disappeared.

The wife. however, In quiet war
found out that the new furniture had
been purchased with the understand
Ing that the bill be settled within six
months. She talked the matter over
with her husband and his mother and
then with the proprietor Of the store.
and, In the end, all the modern fur
niture was taken back and the same
amount traded out for several beauti.
rul rugs and the curtains for all the
rooms on the first 1oor Of the old
house
Then the bride went to work and
fixed up all the scld fashionedss frrnis
