Robber Captured

officers of Wright county be

tant step towards the breaking
up Of the gang of desperadoes
who have been operating in this
section of the country.
| Several robberieS have taken
place in Mansfield recently and
! City Marshal Roe Strong has
been actively engaged in a
search for the guilty parties.
Saturday morning his plans
had reached point where he
believed an arrest could be
made. Learning that Robert

comb, telling him what he de-
sired done. and stating that he
would leave Mansfield for Ma
comb on Frisco passenger train
No. 1903, due here at 9:42 Il m.
Upon Mr.. Strong'S arrival at
Macomb Mr.. Thompson had the
prisoner, handcutfed, under az
rest. Robertson put up a stub
born resistance against being
arrested, drawing .32 special
Colt revolver. He also bit Mr..
Thompson's arm. With the as

where he was arraigned before
Justice G. l.. Beach on a charge
Of robbing the stores of j. L.
Reynolds and G. w. Freeman &
Son at this place. He plead
guilty, waived preliminary hear
ing, refused to give bond and
was committed to the county
Jail at Hartvile, where he was
taken by Mr.. Thompson.
Robertson is a powerfully
built young fellow about 10
years old and is i feet 3 inches
tall, We understand he is out
under parole from the Boys In
dustrial Home at Boonville, to
which place he was sent for two
years for a robbery com mitted
at Webb City. He freely ad.
mitted his connection with the
gang which has been operating
in this section. and claims there
are about 30 members.

hand stores of Springfield and
elsewhere of some of the stolen
goods. put the police on the
trail.
At considerable expense Mr..
Strong obtained photographs of
his registry at hotels, and other
evidence of completely in the
crimes.
We understand that Robert
son was employed as farm
hand near Mansfield at the time
of the first robbery here, but that
he soon quit the job.
We are informed that Robert

gang of robbers at Mountain

1t is also said that they desired

long prison term might serve to
tame their wild desires.
