Robbers Hold up George Rhodes at Warsaw Gas Station, March 18, 1926

Robbers Hold Up Warsaw Gas Filling Station

Unknown robbers entered the D.B. Hill filling station in Warsaw Sunday night, holding up Mr. George Rhodes and relieved him of some cash and other articles which he had on his person.

According to Mr. Rhodes, who was in charge of the station, the robbers entered the door and ordered him at the point of a gun to throw up his hands. When Rhodes carried out their orders they proceeded to rifle his pockets and search the station. Finding no money elsewhere, they ordered Rhodes to follow them to the car where he remained under gun until the robbers had gotten well on their way in the automobile they were driving.
