Express Robbery Near Otterville Leaves $8,000 Stolen
A band of masked men assaulted a Missouri Pacific train near a rock cut east of Otterville at 10:15 PM, stealing from the express car. The ganged robbers, estimated at 15 to 20, divided after the attack, with authorities racing a large-scale pursuit led by Sheriff and Union Pacific officials. The incident follows prior North Missouri Road robberies and prompted urgent mobilization to capture the culprits and recover the stolen funds totaling about $8,000.
