MEN WHO
MADE KC

June 5, 2025

MADE A ROBBED MAN RUN.

"Stick-Ups" got a Conductor's $11,

Then Urged Him to "Beat It."

As D. D. Porter, a Fifteenth street car conductor, got off a car at Fifteenth street and Quincy avenue about 11 o'clock Thursday night, after the day's work was over, he was followed by three men. A block north on Quincy avenue they caught up with Porter and held him up. Two of the men were armed with revolvers.

After taking the contents of his pocketbook which amounted to about $11, they told Porter to run. To accelerate his progress, several shots were fired in the air.
