Four Robbers Beat Fargo Express Man, Escape With $3,000

Fargo, N.D., June 23—(AP)—The American Railway Express office in the Northern Pacific deport was robbed of $3,000 early Friday.

Authorities were unable to gather complete details of the robbery from Oscar E Granskov, in charge of the express office, who is in a semi-conscious condition at a local hospital.

According to Dan Iverson, employee in the baggage room next to the express office, Granskov came into the baggage room about 5 a.m., and said he had been beaten by four men and the office robbed.

Iverson took Granskov home an hour after the robbery is said to have taken place.

L.P. Haarman, American Railway Express company agent, was unable to obtain details of the robbery from Granskov, who appeared to be in a semi-conscious state.
