- From the Newberry News, October 13, 1893: A passenger arriving ont he Soo Line train Sunday (in Sault Ste. Marie) reported that there is a gang of confidence men and thieves, if not cut throats, working the trains and passengers at Trout Lake. The leader of the gang is a fellow known as Dutchy alias Hook, who roffed a passenger on a D.S.S.&A. train near West Superior, of $600 two years ago and who tried to kill a Soo Line brakeman near Pennington, when caught in the act of picking a woman's pocket. Trout Lake seems to be a rendezvous, although every resident there wants to get rid of them. The gang is the worst that ever operated in this vicinity, and we have seen them all. Officers are laying for the outfit. [NEW/MIHX8]
