The Oskaloosa Independent Jefferson County Saturday June 14, 1873 June 14, 1873
Robbery.--On Friday evening last, an emigrant wagon, containing a young man and
his mother, passed through town and proceeded north as far as the bridge on the
Winchester road, where they stopped and camped for the night. A little after 8
o'clock a man rode up to them and, presenting a revolver, demanded their money.
Resistance being useless and dangerous the young man gave up his pocket-book,
which contained but a small amount, their money having been placed in the wagon.
Before the robber could make further advances sounds of an approaching horseman
were heard and he made off. He was recognized as a fellow who had followed them
through the day. The family moved up a little nearer town and spent the rest of
the night.
