Ferdinand Gross, who keeps the saloon

avenue, was the victim of a somewhat
novel feat of highway robbery Saturday
| evening. Mr Gross had embibed too
freely of the fiery fluid and this is per.

falling into the hands OF the bold and
dashing highwaywomen, who were none
other than Katie Cleveland and Nora
Owens. both female descendants of Ham
Just how they inveigled Mr.. Gross
into their net Is not known, but it is
enough to say that they met him on
Eighteenth street and enticed him up to-
ward the alley in the rear of Tegeler's
block, where they relieved him of his
wallet containing $500 in crisp new
bills and then disappeared in the
darkness. As soon as Mr.. Gross found
that he had been held up, he notified the
police, and Deputy Marshal Long and
Officer Mulqueen started out on search
for the adventuresome pair. and soon
found that after doing up" their VIC

Davenport. Bat before they paid their
fare they changed their minds and started
back. They went into Miss Kate Byrnes'
millinery store and each picked out a
nice hat and both paid in advance, the
sum total being $40. While the head,
gear was being trimmed they went down
to Simon & Mosenfelder's and bought
two satchcls, paying therefor IS %, and
had them sent TO Miss Byrnes' store.

The dusky maidens had just returned
to Miss Byrnes' store where the officers
discovered them and escorted them to the
police headquarters. The guests were
assigned to comfortable suites of rooms in
the second fiat, and the deputy marshal
! ordered fire and pitcher of ice water
for each.
The prisoners were searched but they
had disposed of the money and Marshal
| Miller started out TO search for it. He
found $3.50 of it which they had thrown
to the winds after their arrest, and this
with the $40 expended made up the
amount stolen from Mr.. Gross. This
morning Magistrate Wivill held each in
bonds of $500 and both were sent to jail
| in default.
Miss Cleveland is of the amber type Of
African beauty, is tall and graceful, while
her companion in crime is of smaller
stature, whose face is as black and as
| glossy as polished ebony.
