The Daily Reporter, Montgomery County, Friday, April 12, 1895 April 12, 1895
There was a holdup Tuesday night between 9 and 10 p.m. near the railroad bridge
over the Verdigris, but the fact has been kept close while the officers were
trying to find out the guilty parties. Mr. TAYLOR and Mr. HENDERSON work for
Dick MADDEN on his farm on the east side of the river and for a long time have
lived in a tent on Mr. Madden's place. Tuesday night, as they were going home
from town, they were met near the bridge by two colored men, one with a
Winchester and the other with a shotgun, and orderd to hold up their hands.
Taylor had his hands in his pocket at the time and as he drew them out he pulled
out his pocket book containing a few dollars, and let it fall on the ground,
where it was not discovered. Henderson had to shell out about eight dollars. On
reaching their tent they found that a Winchester rifle and a shot gun had been
taken and it was evident that they had been held up with their own guns. The
officers have been working busily on the case and it is !
 likely that some arrests will be made as it is thought that they are on track
of the robbers.
