Robbers Strike Dyer Mulling Driver For $20 Loot
Five masked men halted a Dyer Mulling Company driver three miles east of Dalton on Lincoln avenue in broad daylight. They fired a revolver to stop the team, took his $20 pocket-book, and ordered him to drive on while threatening to shoot. The driver suspects two suspects jailed at West Hammond may belong to the same gang, linked to a prior rural mail carrier robbery near the same spot.
