Yeggmen Fail in Robbery at Iron River Depot
A late night attempt to blow the Northern Pacific depot safe in Iron River failed. Clarence Miller observed a disturbed freight office, broken safe dial, and burned fuse remnants. Yeggmen left with some tools and bread, possibly using a gas car for getaway, but no clues were found. Jack Hicks and Frank Yeakey reported suspicious horn and car activity nearby. Other locals faced minor mishaps including a car backfire into a gas pump and roadwork improvements along Trunk Line Highway No. 10 as town traffic redirects.
