Park Hold Up Man Possibly an Employee
Livingston July 20 Ten detectives are at work in and around Yellowstone Park seeking the man or men who held up stage coaches near the Yellowstone entrance a few months ago. A park informant says the hold up was done by an employee in close tower attire. Investigators narrowed suspects to a small group and expect to trap the gang. Early reports describe the band as amateurs who did not obtain large sums, some tourists offering only a handkerchief or a set of keys, with few giving all their money.
