transporting munitions bo prohibited
from taking passengers aboard.

Local Agent of 0-W
Prevents Robbery
From Freight Car
T. P. ORRIEV CAPITHES ONE
MAN OTHER TWO MAKE
THEIR GETAWAY.
Through the vigilance of T. F. O'
Brien, local O.-W. R, & N. agent, a
robbery of a merchandise car In the
yards wag partially frustrated last
evening and one of the three men en
gaged In It was captured, Mr. O'Brien
himself making the capture after a
footrace through the yards.
About 10 o'clock In the evening
Mr. O'Brien was making a round of
the yards and, as the moon came out
behind the clouds, he detected three
figures skirting the end of a boxcar
In the east end of the yards. Upon
drawing nearer he saw the three
crawl Into the car at a small end
door which had not been latched.
Knowing that the car contained mer
chandise and believing that robbery
wa the purpose of the visit of the
three, he crept quietly up to the door
and slammed It shut against the re
sistance of those on the Inside.
Though a special officer, the agent
happened to be unarmed and, being
one against three, he started down
the tracks to secure assistance. He
had not gone far, however, before he
heard the door forced open and saw
the trapped men emerging. Knowing
It was hopeles for him to capture all
three, he singled out the advance man
and a pretty race around the ware
houses resulted. The thief might
have been successful In outstripping
the agent had he not stumbled over
a pile of boards In the dark and fall
en heavily to the ground. Before he
had a chance to get up, O'Brien had
cleared the obstacle and was atop of
the fugitive.
He took his captive to the police
station where he gave the name of
Charles Cross. He had on a shirt
which had been taken from a mer
chandise box In the car and had
matches In his pocket that corre
sponded to others In the car. The
n.ereandlse was consigned to the
Carnes Mercantile Co., of Pilot Rock.
