BOLD ROBBERY.

Rey. DR.. Thomas WayIaid, Beaten and
Robbed on the Street.-The Two AssaiI-
ants in Custody and Fully Identified.
A bold and successful highway robbery
was committed in one of the most popu-
lous portions of the city at 1870 o'clock
Thursday evening. The location was at
the head of an alley running off from
John street, between Eighth and Ninth
streets, and the victim was Rev. E. S.
Thomas, rector of st. Paul's (EpiscopaD
church. Mr.. Thomas was on his return
home from an evening call upon Samuel
Mayall, Esq, residence Seventh street
point designated he was set upon by
men, one tall and the other of medium
height, both we'll dressed, and having the
appearance OF gentlemen, and thrown to
the sidewalk. AS Mr.. Thomas fell the
shorter of the two highwaymen sprang
upon him and planting one knee upon his
breast, cautioned him as he valued his life
not to attempt to cry out, while the other
rapidly searched his clothing for money
and valuables, securing an elegant gold
watch, the gift in 1875 of st. Marks con-
gregation, Minneapolis, and a few dollars
in money, but in their haste overlooking a
roll of $50 in bills in a side pocket. After
completing the search, and before starting
to run away, the latter of the two
turned and kicked Mr.. Thomas in
the side, bruising him severely, but
fortunately breaking no bones. His
breast was also quite badly bruised from
the strong pressure of the knee of the rob-
Der holding him down while the other was
searching his pockets.
The robbery was not reported to the
police until yesterday morning when plans
were arranged to trap the perpetrators.
Detective Kenally and Roundsman Lowell
were put on the case and as a pointer they
were directed to look mp John Koran and
Peter Brown. The right name of the lat
ter is Hansen and he is an old Chicago
crook, having figured in several 'affairs"
of more or less notoriety.
During the morning Koran heard that he
was wanted and called at the city hall
and gave himself up. Hansen was sub
sequently arrested and both men denied
having had anything to do with the rob-
berry. About noon DR.. Thomas called at
city hall and upon entering the Office he
at once pointed out Koran and Hansen as
the men who attacked and robbed him.
The hearing will take place to-day.
