AN ATTEMPTED ROBBERY FAILS.

While the school board was In session last
evening in the small building on the Central
school ground, the members were startled by the
sound Of pistol shots within q short distance.
They ran out in time to see man In uniform
running northward on Second street, pursued
BY four Others They soon disappeared and the
school board resumed business.
The pursued was George D. Snow, electrician
OF the fire department, and the pursuers were
four highwaymen who had sssailed him, but
had been foiled by his quickness with his fists
and feet.
Mr.. Snow had aIighted from Madison street
car at Seventh street about 9 o'clock and was
walking down Seventh street, on the side next
to the school building, on his way to fire de-
partment headquarters, when he noticed four
men half q block ahead, engaged in converse
ton as they also walked southwark They
stopped at the corner OF Marion street, and Mr.
Snow was just passing among them, with no
thought of being ''held up" when one of them

hold up his hands At the very first movement
of the mans hand towards his pocket, MI. Snow
suspected his intention, and the pistol was no
sooner aimed at him than he knocked it up
wards with his left hand, and before the man
could make motion knocked him down with
his right hand. Mr.. Snow then ran towards
Madison street, the robbers in hot pursuit, firing
four shots after him. The shots all missed, and
the robbers soon turned and ran down Marion
street.
Mr.. Snow returned and went to fire depart
ment headquarters, whence he teiephoned to
to the scene, heard his account OF the affair and
began search for the highwaymen.
Two oil the men. the one who first pulled the
revolver and another, were short men. and the
other two were tall and slender. Mr.. Snow says
that he struck the man such vigorous blow as
must have left its mark.

ROASTING THE PAID FIREMEN.


The Volunteer Association Mourns tho
Degcneracy Of the Times.
The attendance at the meeting OF the Volun-
teer Firemen's Association at the K Of L hall
last evening was not large, owing to the Robert
Emmet celebration. The management OF the
paid fire department came in for some adverse
criticism, but full discussion Of the subject was
deferred till the next meeting.
Thomas Kelley brought the matter up by q
criticism OF the mayors message relating to
ECONOMY in the fire department. He said he
could show where $4,000 per year could be
saved annually in the management of the de-
partment He suggested that committee of
four be appointed to investigate the matter and
open the eyes Of the public to the big leak
President Calligan WAS called upon. He did
not think this the proper place for the matter to
originate. The volunteer firemen, who were
taxpayers and who ran to fires for nothing ex-
cept kicks and cuffs, were not particularly
friendly to the we'll paid department which had
superseded them. Chief Kellogg, he said, had
made failure of everything he mad undertaken,
and his present position was no exception He
had never regarded him as q competent fireman.
President Calligan was instructed to rent
Young Nsturalists' hall, on the University
grounds, for one month for the use of the ssso-
citation
The applications for membership of G. Van
Dyke and Van Wyckof were received and re-
ferred. The meeting adjourned to meet at the
call Of the president.
