BACK CAME THIEF
N|PP[D RAIL Cash
East Henderson Is Again
Scene Of Robbery
STICK EN- UP, QUICK
Helped Self To Money and Then
Away He Went Into
Darkness

r. J. McGeough, night operator at
the Omaha depot at East Henderson,
is now convinced that bad penny
will always return" that lightning
will strike twice in the same place,
and a bandit will return to the scene
of his former depredations. 1t was
only ten days ago that the depot at
East Henderson was held up and
robbed by a highwayman. At that
time Mr.. McGeough was busily re-
porting to the train dispatcher that
that station south, when he looked
up from the keys it was to gaze into
the muzzle of a murderous thirty
eight calibre revolver held in the
hands of short, squat man, who
told him to Stick 'em up"
a. Was Visited Again.
Last Night at 1905 Mr.. McGeough
was again busily engaged in send
ing a Western Union message, ac-
cording to the statement of Station
Agent B. R. Crawford to The Free
Press this morning, when he heard
a familiar step behind him. He fin
ished sending the telegram and then
looked and saw that the little bandit
was there again.
What the hill, you here again."
exclaimed McGeough. ~
"You bet / am old timer, and you
get busy and put up those, mits,'
said the bandit. -Iaa
Cut the Wires. a+
Then it is alleged that the bandit
coolly took from his pocket pair
of nippers and cut the telephone
wires helped himself to the contents
of the cash drawer, which contained
$12.15, then bid McGeough plea
SAINT good morning and disappear
ed in the darkness.
According to the statement of Ar
ent B. r. Crawford, the robber is
supposed to hail from near st. Paul.
At first it was suspected that local
parties might have pulled off the for
mer job, but clues in that direction
failed to materialiZe.
Last night the bandit had on
different suit Of clothes, instead Of
the shabby suit of blue serge he had
on gray coat and brown cap.
AS soon as it was safe to do so.
McGeough ,telegraphed st. James
notifying the officials there of the
robbery. Special agents and local
police officials all along the Omaha
line were notified to be on the look
out for the thief.
Henderson authorities are of the
opinion that the robber may have
come in on an automobile. and made
his getaway in the same manner.

COAL PRICESAR
FIXED FOR DULUTH
This Claimed To Be Cause
OF High Charges
PROBE REPORT MADE
Chamber Commerce Committee
Has Been Conducting Inves-
tigation Fuel Costs
[Assoclated Press Dispatch.I

st. Paul, November S.-The non
competitive market at Duluth has
resulted in a higher standard of
coal prices in that city than exists
in the southern part of the state
according to report of the coal
investigating committee of the Du-
luth Chamber Of Commerce, which
accompanied a communication to c.
p. White, northwest federal fuel dis
tributor, today.
The committee making recon
mends in its report that its findings
be submitted to the federal fact
finding fuel committee at Washing :
ton The chamber of commerce trst
presented tt to Mr.. White reQuestih. Z;
his advice as to whether the claims
can be substantiated.
The report declares that coal
shipped into Duluth. except that
used by the United States Steel
corporation, is brought there by the
Northwestern Dock Operators ass
ISOLATION, which sets the price for
Duluth and vicinity.
No Through Rail Rates
No through rail rates from the
mines III LNShbaNhS ~
Duluth are in effect. The excessive
rates from the Twin Cities to Du-
nth prohibits rail competition, the
COMMITTEES declares.
The committee mentions several
specific examples, which, it is claim
ed. show the result of this lack OF
composition Pocahontas coal in
Duluth during September, the re-
port alleges sold for $10.O5 per ton
while In Minneapolis the same coal
was selling for 1915. Youghiogheny
mine run coal was quoted at SlO.SO
TO Duluth and $10.25 in Minneapolis,
while Youghiogheny screenings was
sold in Minneapolis for 1925 and in
Duluth for 50 80.
Mr.. White win make a thorough
investigation before replying to the
Duluth club.
Not much change in the car sit
uation was noted today, according
to Mr.. White. Bituminous coal is
coming through at fairly satisfac-
tory rate, he said. The continued
mild weather is holding down the
demand except for anthracite coal,
which continues to be heavy.
