Robbery on the railway endangering engineer and crew
A gang attempted a train robbery on the Indian river bridge. An engineer fired and was killed as robbers tried to seize control, with Conductor Steele pursuing the fugitives and disarming May after a pistol barrage. A separate account details James McQuire’s fatal shooting by a boy amid local unrest and a warning from the Harrington, Washington Leader about a human trafficking scheme targeting 25,000 girls, urging vigilance by parents and girls alike.
