Got a Dozen Bottles of Beer at Latter Place But Found No
Money<BR><BR> The Norfolk and Western stations were entered
Sunday night at both Richlands and Cedar Bluff, but in each instance the
robbery was insignificant. At Cedar Bluff the robbers got a dozen
bottles of beer. They went through the cash drawer but found no
money.<BR> Detectives have been put on the trail of the men
who did the jobs, but so far no arrests have been made. It is believed
that it is the same band which has been committing depredations of this kind
through the coal fields for some time. Several stations have been broken
into, and sundry weighing and slot machines around the stations have been
robbed, but nothing of any consequence has been taken in any case. The
local authorities have come to the conclusion that there is an organized band
devoting its attention to railroad stations.<BR>------<BR>[I wonder how the
agent at Cedar Bluff make it through the next day without his liquid
refreshment!]<BR><BR>Gordon Hamilton<BR>-------------- next part

24, 1909<BR><BR>ALL OPERATIONS BUSY<BR>------<BR>Saturday Biggest Payday in
History of Pocahontas Field<BR><BR> Saturday was one of the
biggest paydays in the history of the Pocahontas coalfield. August so
far has been a big month at the various operations, and most of them are
running full time with a full force of men. At several of the operations
there is a shortage of men reported, and the operators are anxious to secure
additional workers. Orders are piling up and the coal and coke business
is rapidly getting to its old high water mark.<BR> It would
be difficult to estimate the amount of pay roll for the entire field, but it
is known that $200,000 was sent out on the early train to the field Saturday
morning, and it is probable that the entire amount was double this
sum.<BR>------<BR>Gordon Hamilton<BR>-------------- next part
