After the train started and had reached a point some distance from town the parties In the car would throw out boxes of merchandise at, or near places agreed upon and then get out of the oar and off the train at the next stop. Sub- scquently, with a team, the confederates would drive alonside of the track and gather up the stolen goods A search of the homes of the men ar- rested at North Bend, it is asserted, dis- closed the presence of a larse quantity of canned goods and other merchandise, much of it in the original boxes and cases when shipments from Omaha were made. nson & In the arrest —_—_ ood for Slek Headaches. ipation causes sick headache, and Life Pills will cure it All druggists.
