Railroad Man Held Up. Conductor Bosley of the north bound freight was held up and robbed of $50 near the trestle south of the Missouri Pacific station Wednesday morning about 3:30 o’clock. The train, a long freight, stopped with the engine at the water tank to take water. Con- ductor Bosley got off the caboose which was near the trestle, and started to walk along the, east side of the train to the engine. When about midway of the train three men stepped from between the cars and one of them placed a gun at his head and ordered him to hold up his hands. - They took $50 from his pockets and es- caped. Sheriff Baker was noti- fied and deputies were sent to the scene, but the holdups had made good their escape and no trace of them has been found. Conductor Bosley could only give a very poor description of them. W. C. T. U. Contest. Tuesday evening, March 20, the Lone Oak W. C. T. U. held 8
