Express Held Up in Cher okee Strip Robbery
The southbound Santa Fe express No. 403 was halted at Red Rock in the Cherokee Strip and robbed by two masked men who compelled engineer Carl Mack to start the train. Fireman Rogers broke the door of the express car with a pike while gunfire rang out. The robbers took cash and a gold watch from Richey, then fled on horseback. Authorities pursued but are hampered by distance, as a similar robbery nearby a year earlier is attributed to the Dalton gang.
