A young fellow giving his name
as Wm. Boatride was slugged with
a coupling pin «r some other simi
lar instrument of. knocked into in
j sensibility and robbed of sixty-five
dollars in cash, last Wednesday
afternoon.
Boatride had been working for
some month’s past in Billings and
was on his way home, near l)es
Moines, la., and in order to save
railroad fare was “hoboing” it on a
freigli to this point where he decided
to buy a ticket for the rest ot the
journey. While inquiring about
rates, etc , he was approached by *
fairly well dressed stranger who
took him off to one side and advised
him not to buy a ticket, and told
him that he was a freight brake
man and that if he would give him a
dollar he would stow him away in a
car, which he did, where Boatride
fell asleep, and was awakened b\
two fellows opening the side door
breaking the seal to get io. They
came back to where Boatride was
lying and one of them dealt him a
stuuuing blow with hi* list, striking j
him just above the left eye. Then j
one grabbed him by the throat and
strangled him while the other man
-earebed his pockets aud took all his
money, about, S6d, as he claims.
After they had robbed him, oue
of the men said, “we had better hit
the-again, so he won't holler"
and suiting the action to the words
be dealt Boatride a blow on th -
head with a piece or iron winch
we ghed eight pounds.
Boatride laid unconscious for an
hour or more, but he finally came to
his senses and climbed out of the
car and gave the alarm. His face
was bloody and badly bruised, and
blood was streaming from a scalp
wound where he had been hit with
the iron bludgeon.
Search immediatly commenced
for the robbers. Freight train 45,
which had pulled out shortly after
the robbery was stopped at a point
up the road and searched, but the
men wanted were not found. Final
ly Marshal Cuddy with a posse of
railroad men, and young Boatride,
got on a hand car and went to Nan
tasket U. P. crossiog where four men
were found hiding behind the sema
phore house, lying fiat on the ground
hoping to escape notice, but their
piesence was discovered, and they
were arrested. Three of the tnen
were positively identified by Boat
ride, one as the pretended brake
mau, and two others as the ones who
assaulted and robbedjhim.
They gave themselves up without
trouble and they were searched but
without results. They were placed
in jail, which was well guarded,
and Wednesday evening they were
taken out one by one and every
stitch of clothing on them searched,
but without results. Three of them
prac’ically confessed to their part in
the affair but would give no infor
ruaiion concerning tlwe money.
During all this tune a large crowd
had collected, awaiting develop
ments. When the last man bad
been searched and nothing found
F. E. Brogden and Will Herbaugh,
who were serving as deputies, stait
ed to take one of the men back to
the jail, wheu they were set upon
by the mob. Herbaugh attempted
to defend the prisoner and he w as
knocked down for his pains. The
prisoner was hustled to the bottom
■ f the subw'ay under the B. & M.
tracks at the fo -t of Appian avenue,
where a rope was placed around his
I neck, the other end being in the
hands of a dozen or more as husky
I and enthusiastic citizens as ever
undertook a job of this sort. The
culprit was then given an opportuni
ty to confess and was told that if
he did not he would be struyg up.
He confessed to a part in the ass oik
and robbery but said he had got
only j,$ i .so The word was given
and up he went and then let down,
Ae came down still insisting that he
got only $1.80, when lie was strung
up again when he commenced to
show signs of utter collapse. One
of the other prisoners was served
the same and the other two let
loose, as tli-i two who were strung
up had done the work.—Ravenna
