N. C. TRAIN
HELD UP
Passengers Forced to
Pungle Up in Heart
of Spokane,
Spokane, Nov.24—The North
ern Pacific train was held up in
the very heart of the city here
last night.
The bandits are supposed to
have boarded the train at a sta
tion in the outskirts of the city.
One of them forced the engineer
to slow down, while two others
went through the cars robbing
the passengers.
No attempt was made to se
cure express or registered mail j
matter, and the exact amount
taken from the passengers is not
yet known. After going through
the passenger cars the bandits
forced the engineer to start up,
dropping off immediately after
ward. The slowing down at
tracted no attention, and before
the trainmen could summon help
the bandits had disappeared.
