DARING ROBBERY.
Chicago Highwsymen "Hold Up" the
Cashier of the Now York Biscuit Co.


CHICAGO, July ll.-Four men armed
with revolvers entered the Office Of the
New York Biscuit Co. at noon, "held
up the cashier at the muzzles Of their
pistols, and, seizing the money
prepared to meet the pay roll,
made off with It. The robbers
secured over 5000 and escaped
without leaving any clew to their
identity. The offices of the company
are at Randolph and Morgan streets,
and there were 400 people in the build
ing at the time. Clerk Edward Hines
sat close beside the money, and when
the door to the book-keeper's inclosure
swung open and man entered Hines
thought he was telephone repair
man. A moment later he was aston
ished to see two revolvers pointing at
him.
"Stay where you are," cried the rob-
Der, who Immediately scooped in the
money on the desk and placed IT in a
sack. Then the thief, with the sack
in one hand and pistol in the other,
backed through the door of the private
office and departed through the other
door to Morgan street. AT the same
time his three companions left by the
other two doors, joining their com.
panion on the Morgan street sidewalk
and the party fed through the alley
between Lake and Randolph streets.
The robbers escaped.
