- ell, -. Is
nignt clerk at the local Nickle Plate
Ry station was held up and robbed Of
$500 Friday evening. Just after the
Il o'clock east bound train is gone he
closes the station and walks TO- the
tower which Is q quarter OF mile
east. to remain for the balance of the
evening. The hold-up man must
have known that he makes the trip
each evening. This Is a lonely dark
stretch he has TO travel and when he
was about half way the robber jump
ed out and held a gun to his face. The
robber wore a soldiers overcoat and
had a white handkerchief tied over his
face and apparently weighed IT'S lbs.
The boy. thinking someone was play
ing joke on him grabbed for the gun
but he soon found out II was no joke
for the man hit him over the head with
the gun, cutting a severe cash over
his right ear. After taking all the
money he had. $500 of the company's
money and $1,000 of his own. the hold
up man made his get away, he also
had a gold watch but it seems a.
though he was only after the money
