Robbery pursuit across Gulf Coast rail line
Two suspects flee along the Gulf & Ship Island line from Gulfport to Ralston Miss after robbing the New Orleans & Northeastern express near Hattiesburg. Detectives believe a gasoline launch used for a getaway may be hidden in a nearby stream as officials question the total take, with $53,700 in four packages and $51,000 payroll in Meridian. A Carnegie library committee plans to raise 10000 for a site, with a 20000 donation from the Carnegie Library association for a building.
