GHrrOted,

Saturday night as James Butterfield was
passing along Second and N streets he was
confronted by two men-garroters-who
demanded that he ." shell out" Seeing a
large glistening knife in one of the robbers
hands, he thought he might as well yield.
The men carefully searched their victim
and, to their dismay, found but rs cents.
Angered at their i'll luck, they kicked and
cuffed Butterfeld TO their hearts content,
and told him to have more next time. The
unhappy man promised that he would. and
hastily departed.
a little while afterwards another man,
named Tilden, was stood up" on Fourth
and streets by two men, but the
vigorous yelling set up by young
Tilden attracted the attention of officers
Able and Mccormack, but when these
officers arrived on the scene the highway
men were not to be found, having disap-
peared in the darkness. Frank L. Loucks
and Thomas Anderson have been arrested
on suspicion of being the guilty parties.
