DUNLAP MEN GET HELD UP.
George HANSEN and Earl BROWN were held up in the North-western yards near Big Lake last Wednesday morning while enroute to Spokane, Washington. The hold-up men secured $747 in cash, besides a gold watch and chain belonging to HANSEN, and a silver watch belonging to Brown.The victimes, both of whom are married, have lived here all their lives, planned to go to Spokane and locate, if satisfied with the country and stole a ride on a Northwestern freight going through here Tuesday evening. The two hold up artists got on the train at Missouri Valley and engaged in ordinary conversation until the train was passing Big Lake, when they each drew large revolvers and stuck up the men in the car. Hansen was the chief loser, having $680 in a sack around his neck, and $30 in his pockets. The men tore open his shirt and took the sack, which was later found in a empty car, at the transfer by Night Car Inspector WARREN. BROWN was relieved of his watch and money, and another man and boy in the car were frisked, losing only about $1. The hold-up men then leaped from the car and disappeared in the darkness.
