OUTLAWS TARGET CONNOLLY BUSINESS IN SILVERTON

THIRD ROBBERY IN LAST 18 MONTHS

Two men robbed the Connolly Mine office in Silverton on Friday, May 19, the third Connolly business theft in 18 months.

The men walked in and politely asked for their pay. The manager, Edgar Agnew, didn’t recognize the miners and asked them for their names to check against the register. The men pulled out their guns and said that was all the name they needed. It was lunchtime, and Agnew was in the office by himself, and his gun was out of reach. No matter, as the younger man confiscated his gun before Agnew could take a breath. There was nothing for it but to acquiesce to the villains’ demands. The leader tied Agnew up and closed him up in the storage room, looted the cash box and left.

Agnew’s assistant returned and released him, and they went directly to the sheriff to report it. The town was filling up with miners coming down from the hills for the weekend, and a large supply train had just rolled in from Ouray. The chaos of the influx of people allowed the two bandits to vanish without a trace.
