SUSPECTED ROBBERS.
Two Men Who Held Up an Iceman
Last Winter.

Two suspicious characters were arrested
some days ago in Oakland and a descrip-
tion of them was sent to Captain Lees.
Their names are William Brandt, alias
"Shortv Bill" and Hugh Evarts, alias
Harry Evans.
During the footpad epidemic last winter
an icemaD was held up about o'clock one
morning on Ash avenue by two men. EHe
reported the robbery to the police, giving
an accurate description of the men. On
looking over his records Captain Lees
found that Brandt answered tue descrip-
tion of one Of the robbers given By she ice
map, so on Saturday morning Detective
Gibson and Officer Ellis escorted Brandt
and Eyarts from Oakland Prison to the
old City Hall station, where they were
placed in the tanks" Gibson and Ellis
are now trying to locate the iceman to see
if he could identify either or both. Cap
tain Lees states that they are not sus-
pected af having been connected with any
other robberies and 1t is possible the ice
man, when found, may not be able to
identify them.
