They Were Walking Down Railroad
Track When Robber Overtook
Them and Relieved Them of $132.50
at the Point of Revolver.
A lone, highwayman hold up two
men named Llndwell, between Wal
lula and Hunt's Junction last night.
The Lindwells claimed to be resi
dents of Pendleton, but with diligent
search no one here can be found who
knows them. Last evening they
bought tickets at the W. & C. R
ticket office for Wallula. They board
ed the train at 7 o'clock for that
place. On the same train went an
other man. What his name is could
not be learned. He was the robber.
When the raln arrived at Hunt'i
Junction It stopped and as it was to
remain at the station a half hour.
the Lindwells concluded they would
walk down to Wallula, a distance of
half a mile.
When njar the tanks they were
accosted by the fellow who rode up
on the train with them and were told
to throw up their hands. They did as
commanded, and were Btandlng on
the track being robbed of their valu
ables when the train backed down!
by them. The employes of the train
saw the performance, but seeing no
gun in sight thought it was only
"josh" someone was perpetrating on
a friend and went on without stop
ping to investigate. As the train was
approaching, the robber coolly order
ed his victims to step off the. rail
road, which they did.
One of the men did not act to suit
the robber when he w.s ordered to
hold up his hands, and the highway
man fired a shot at him, the bullet
coming so close to his shoulder that
it's force was felt.
From one of the victims the robber
took $71 and from the other he got
$61.50. The other valuables of the
men were not molested, as the high
wayman only wanted money.
The robber is described as a very
large man. Ho rode up on the same
train and was again recognized as
the same fellow when the train pass
ed him and his victims, while he was
relieving them of their money. He
wore a black Buit and was quite well
dressed. The train men say they
will be able to recognize him again
If he is caught Every effort Is being
made to land him.
