Masked Hold Up Westbound Express Near Ducks
A six to eight man band of masked robbers halted the C P R express No 97 east of Ducks before midnight. They demanded the engineer stop at a signal, forced the fireman to breach the express cars, and searched three cars but found nothing of value. They fled toward the lake, aided by armed posse and trackers, leaving no loot beyond the sense they sought money tied to a bank transfer.
