BANDITS TO PRISON
Confessed to Robbery On N. P.
Freight Train.

Sentenced in two counties with
in week on two charges is the
fate of the two hobo bandits,
Robert Bennett of Chicago and
Tony Beaver of Denver, each
about 20 years old. who made con-
fessions of robbery and shooting
an officer while riding on an N. P.
freight train between Rathdrum
and Standpoint, June S.
Both were charged in Bonner
county with assault with deadly
weapons and were sentenced by
Judge John M. Flynn at Standpoint,
last Saturday, to serve from one to
two years each in the state peni-
tentiary at Boise.
They were then taken to Coeur
d'Alene where they pleaded guilty
in the district court Monday morn
ing TO charge of highway robbery
committed in Kootenai county and
were sentenced to serve FIVE years
in the penitentiary.
The following account of the
crime appears in the Press:
1t is alleged that Beaver and
Bennett, while beating their way
on freight, held up the several
men at the point of a pistol in the
car with them and robbed their
''fellow passengers" of s7I, then
literally kicked them off the NOV
ing train. However, one of the
victims, it is said, was railroad
man, and he, knowing the proper
methods of riding, caught the
caboose as it came by and told the
conductor of the robbery. A tele-
gram was then sent to Standpoint,
where detective met the incom-
ing train and proceeded to arrest
the youthful robbers. One of the
accused men pulled gun, officials
state, and shot the officer. How
ever the two men were taken into
custody and later plead guilty 10
assault with deadly weapon. -
AS the robbery was alleged to
have been committed near Rath-
drum it was necessary for the trial
on that count to be conducted in
in this county.
