A Bold Hold Up.
fCenteryille outlook

(Centerville outlook
Lyman Duncan of Hadley was in
Ceuterville yesterday and told US of a
rather bold and unusual hold up at
the Baptis church Coax Grove) near
Haley last Sunday night. Robert
Camden held up and robbed Cecil and
Willie Shaver, Marshal Rodgers,
Clyde Cole and Melvin White and
took about $13 and a gold watch from
them. Camden was released from a
Reform school about two months ago
and returned to the home of his step
father, Cluster Black, near Oates,
where he remained only a few days.
1t is reported that he stole a horse
and started to Arkansas and we sup
pose that he was returning when he
committed the Hadley crime. Lyman
Duncan who conducts a store at Had
ley had seer Camden just before dark
and Camden had made inquiry about
whether or not there would be SER
vices at the church that night and
Lyman said he thought there would.
Some of those arriving first at the
church found Camden in the house;
after the lamps were lighted he re-
NAMED. Some of those near him
noticed that he was a bit and
repeatedly looked in the direction of
the door and as soon as the singing
began Camden went out and the
above named young men we're stand
ing in front of the house talking. He
walked over to them and threw a gun
on them; he ordered their hands up
and that theyline up. They all "toed
the scratchn and Camden proceeded
to relieve them of what they pos
sessed. The young highwayman then
disappeared. He, the next morning
about daylight, caught the Missouri
Southern passenger at the Garwood
hill and left the train at Bunker.
Conductor Hackworth recognized
Camden and Mr.. Duncan went to
Bunker where he found the watch
which Camden had taken away from
\ of the boys. He had sold it to a
man by the name of Hall. One rather
amusing incident connected with the
robbery is told. After the boys had
been relieved of their change they all
went in the church and the preacher
was taking a collection. The contri-
button box was placed before Cecil
Shaver, but Cecil asked to be excus-
ed. He said, ga fellow on the outside
has just taken up a collection and /
contributed Young Camden was
confined in jail here several months
before going to the reform school,.
and is we'll known. He was confined
with the Barton boys who are charg-
ed with double murder in Iron coun-
ty. Camden is an all-round Young
crook and ~penitentiary or graveyard
is his ultimate end.
