Fort Worth, Tex., Sept. 26.—The police believe an organized gang of thieves is operating on trains running into Fort Worth. They drug and rob men who appear prosperous and who can be induced to take a drink of whiskey or other liquor which has been “doped” so that the victims speedily become unconscious and remain so long enough to allow the thieves to get away. Fort Worth police officers and Texas Pacific officials are now at work trying to locate the gang.
