f ! b 1 FLAGMAN BEATEN . i BY TRAIN ROBBERS / fomes Upon Two Men Throw- " ing Switch Which Might Derail Train. HE IS THEN BADLY CUT UP Telegraph Operator Martin of the Missouri Pacific at Strausville, a flag station three miles this side of Falls City, was badly.beaten up at 2 o'clock Friday morning by two unknown men. The presumption is that the men in- tended to hold up passenger train No. 105, due to pass Strausville at about %15 o'clock. Strausville is just a semaphore sta- tion, only an operator being kept there and he occupying a box car set off beside the tracks. Just before 2 o'clock, looking out of the window of the box car, Martin noticed two men working with the north end of the switch. Grabbing a lantern he went out where they were. As he ap- proached one of them struck him over the head with an iron bar, knocking him down. His lantern was taken away from him. and with this he was struck in the face several times, inflicting some painful _flesh wounds. The men then ran off into a field to the east, leaving Martin nearly unconscious. Weak from loss of blood and suffer- ing intense pain, Martin crawled back to his—car and commenced working the wires, notifying agents along the tine of what had happened. He stopped No. 105 when it came along and was taken aboard and brought to Nebraska City. The Strausville siding is one of the most lonely places along the river line of the Missouri Pacific. It is on the edge of the woods and is nearly a half mile from any house, there be- ing nothing there but the dismounted box car that houses the telegraph operator.
