HOLDS UP A STREETCAR,
A Lone Highwayman Robs a Car
on the Lorin Branch of the
Telegraph-Avenue Line.
About $50 in Coin Secured-Trouble
at Lorin-Testing Sugar.Beet
Pulp.

BERKELEY, CAL, Dec. 16.-A lone
highwayman armed with heavy revolver
held up an electric car on the Lorin branch
of the Telegraph line at about II 80
this morning. The spot at which the rob-
berry took place was admirably chosen, it
being on Alcatraz avenue, near Shattuck,
where there are but few houses and con-
sequent easy means of escape. The car
was in charge of William Hamilton, who
serves the double purpose OF conductor and
motorman on the night run. Shortly after
midnight he was awaiting the Berkeley
car, and on its arrival three men and
lady boarded his car, bound for Lorin.
Two of the men, one of whom was Frank
Dixon, Lorn barber, and the lady took
seats inside of the car, while the third
man, who proved to be the rObber, seated
himself on the rear end.
The curtains on the car were drawn, and
the end at which he sat was practically In
darkness. They had Just crossed Shattuck
avenue when the robber entered and
ordered Hands up!" brandishing huge
revolver in the faces of the occupants.
The lady became greatly frightened, but
the bandit with great politeness assured
her that she would not be molested. 81
want cash, not jewelry," said he. Ii you
fork over your money there will be no
