Boldest Train Robbery Near Lodi Unfolds Unsuccessful Heist
Reports from SroceTox Cal describe a bold hold up of the European Mail near Lodi. Four men boarded the unmanned engine, forced the crew off, and attempted to rob the express car but found only the safe locked with no prize inside. The robbers uncoupled the engine and fled toward Lodi while a posse and bloodhounds pursued. A tramp provided scarce details, noting a five foot ten inch bandit in a black coat and blue necktie. Authorities planned further action as tracks and terrain hindered pursuit.
