HELD UP THE OFFICER
BOLD HiGHWAYMEN AT WORK
IN CHICAGO.
Policeman stopped on His Heat
In Broad Daylight and Compelled to
Give Up His Revolver, Star aud
Money-Carnival OF Crime In the CITY,

CHICAGO, Nov 30.--The carnival Of
crime in this city still goes on and
the police seem utterly powerless. So
bold have the robbers become that
even the policemen on their beats are
not safe. The masked highwayme n
that have spread terror through the
North and West Side suburbs still ride
and plumber as they go.
Police Officer William Ryan and John
Keefe while walking loisurely along
the street in one of the West Side sub.
urbs were suddenly confronted by a
solitary horseman wearing black
mask over the upper part of his face.
Throw up your hands," called the
rider as he refined up his horse, at the
same time presenting huge revolver
Now give me your money and be
quick about it," ordered the modern
Dick Turpin.
Ryan said he had only half dollar
with him.
''Well then give me your gun and
star may need them" said the en-.
crgetic gentleman on horseback.
Ryan did not hesitate a minute, but
pulled out his revolver and handed it
to the robber, and then took off his
star and gave it to him. Keefe had
SLIGO which he was very prompt in
giving up The bold robber then put
spurs to his horse and was soon out of
sight.
This is the man who, with his pal,
has been ravag mr. the suburbs. While
they have posse after him in High
land Park he is over in Riverside going
through people. This is why the po-
lice of Berwyn, Clyde, Riverside, Haw-
thorne and Lyons have asked that aid
be sent them from the city depart
ment. On Friday morning one of the
masked robbers held up a boy near
the Grant Locomotive works and re.
ceived GO cents.
Joseph Whitney, the son Of Clyde
grocer, came along in the delivery
wagon. The robber seized the bride
rein. The boy had no money and he
was allowed to depart Then the rob.
Der met Groceryman J. NJ. Myers OF
Lyons in a wagon. When the Illinois
Central railroad was reached Mr..
Myers saw a form leap in front of his
horse and a revolver was flashed in his
face with the command to give up his
money. Mr. Myers gave So and was
allowed to pass on.
Sunday the robber and his partner
did business on horseback. Fred Sci.
lers and Fred Crow of Riverside saw
a man on light bay horse ride ahead
of them. When short distance from
Riverside he turned, and thrust
ing pistol in the face of the two vii.
layers told them to hand over their
cash. He got Sc so and rode off.
Joseph Hellers, LaGrange black.
smith, was held up on Ogden avenue.
He was SO frightened he forgot to call
for help, and gave up what little money
he had with him. William Kelly and
James Murphy of Hawthorne were
compelled by two men to dismount
from their buggy, give mp their valua.
bles and watch the thieves drive away
in their rig Nothing has been seen OF
the horse since. C. A. Bader of Berwin
had to hand over 40 cents and gold
watch to masked man. The descrip-
tions given by the victims make it APP
pear that all the work was done by
the same two men.

BLEW OPEN A BANK VAULT.
Bold Work of Thieves In Liberty, Mo-
Walls Nearly Wrecked.

LIBERTY, Mo-, Nov. 20.-Craksmen
early this morning blew open the outer
doors of the First National bank and
secured 500. A package containing
$500 in paper money was blown into
shreds by the force of the explosion,
the pieces being scattered all over the
floor of the bank. The robbers had
arranged to blow open the inner vault,
which contained $1,000 in money, but
were evidently frightened away.
The officers of the bank refused at
first to give any statement concerning
the robbery, but the rumor that the
craftsmen had secured $751; in cash
gained such wide circulation that they
finally gave out the facts concerning
their loss
The force of the explosion nearly
wrecked the bank building and two of
the walls will have to be torn down
and rebuilt
