H0LD-UP MAN STAYS
OSHKOSH DEPOT EMPLoYE is
SHOT DOWN BY ROBBER.
Line Station, is Victim of
Bandit, Who Escapes
With 500 Cash.

Oshkosh.-FTederick Hines, night
baggage agent at the north 500 line
depot here, was shot twice and in
stantly killed by a holdup man, who
made good his escape with $500 from
the cash drawer Of the ticket office.
Emil ViIlnow, the ticket agent at the
depot, was held up while Hines was IN
the baggage room, and the burglar
fred shot to scare him. Hines came
running out of the baggage room and
was shot twice, falling to the floor
dead.
Hines and Villnow had been await
ing the arrival of midnight train, and
Hines left the station to check up the
baggage. As soon as he left the wait
ing room, the holdup man stepped in
and walked into the ticket Office. Will
now heard him enter and turned
around to confront the muzzle of re-
Volyer. Villnow laughed, thinking
that someone was perpetrating a joke
on him
If you think this is a joke, you had
better chuck up your hands," said the
robber
Villnow complied, and the burglar
went through the cash drawer, stuffing
the bills and currency into his peck
cts. As he was leaving and Villnow
started to move, he fired a shot to
scare him. Hines, hearing it, came
rushing out of the baggage room. Will
now, too stupefed to speak, stood ST
lent, while the highwayman walked
over to Hines, and without a word
fired a shot into his breast. Hines
turned partly around as if to run for
help and the burglar sent another bull
let into his neck. The burglar leaped
out of the side door and made his way
up the tracks.
