The Mexia News gives the
following account of the rob-
bery of L. T. Knox, now a ser-
vice car driver of Mexia, but
who for several years was a
resident of Teagufe, and has
many friends here.
L. T. Knox, whd runs a sei-
vice car in Mexia, was .knocked
in the head, robbed of about
$3,00 in mon£y and his Buick
touring car and left bound by
the side of the road in Rich-
land creek bottom, just this
side of Cirsicana, about 11:00
o’clock on Thursday night of
last week. , .
Mr. Knox started to Corsi-
cana with three passengers, a
man and two women, and as
they were passing through the
creek bottom one of the party
struck him on the head from
the back seat, rendering him
unconscious for a short time.
They then proceeded to rob
him of about $3.00 in change
and then made their get away
with his car,
Mr. Knox soon recovered suf-
ficiently to walk back to the
road where he flagged a {Miss-
ing automobile going to Corsi-
cana. He returned on next train
and officers today are scouring
the country for the hold-ups.
Mr. Knox .can give a good de-
scription of them and if they
should l>e arrested, there will
be no trouble in identifying
them. They spent the day in
Mexia Thursday, and several of
the jjocal people remember hav
ing seen them here.
Mr. Knox was not seriously
injured, though ’ he suffered a
good deal from the wound in
the back of the head, where he
was struck with some heavy ob-
ject, probably a wrench. After
Mr. Knox recovered his senses
he returned to the road to wait
for someone passing. Two cars
passed him up, evidently being
afraid it whs a trap to hold
them up, as his arms were
libund behind‘thetti.
This hold up and robbery, is
the first crime of this nature
to be reported since the oil
boom* and it is. stirring the peo-
ple up to a realization that ex-
tra precautions must be taken
in order to prevent any in-
crease of lawlessness such as
was experienced for several
months in the oil fields of
west Texas.
Later: Mr. Knox received
word Saturday at poon by wire
from the officers of Wise county
that a car which is believed to
be the one that was stolen from
him" Thursday had been located
at Decatur, and a woman who
was supposed to be a member
of the party which robbed Mr.
Knox, was being detained in
that city.
Mr. Knox went t<j Corsicana
Saturday afternoon fe m£«t the
officers from Wise couiuy, who
were to have the woman there
for identification. /Mr.J Knox
expected to go on to Decatur
to identify the/automobile.
It is belieyfed there will be no
trouble in7 apprehending the
other \ydman and the man, as
the wbma'h arrested has given
all /Information as to their
whereabouts. She said her
ome was in Ponca City, Okla.,
and that the man and o'.her
woman aieo lived there.
