Beatty Bullfrog Miner, November 24, 1906
"OVERLAND LIMITED HELD UP"
Reno, Nev. - Armed bandits held up the Overland Limited west-bound at Carlin and escaped with the suit cases of passengers and the money sack of Conductor Conn. The railroad men at Sparks state that about $1000 was secured in all. A posse was formed and a pitched battle took place at the edge of town, one hundred shots being fired. No one is known to have been injured.
Southern Pacific detectives and deputy sheriffs are now hot on the trail of the robbers.
