SENSATIONAL STREET CAR HOLD
UP ON THE OAK STREET AND
BRYN AIAwR LINE
RIVALS OF BARRETT BOYS
RELIEVE THE TROLLEY CAR MEN
OBJ THEIR WEIGHT OF
SILVER.
Used by the Trio of DesperadOes-
Reward Offered for Arrest of
Thieves.

Last night Minneapolis experienced
the first hold-up Of street car since
the operations of the Barrett brothers,
several years ago.
At SIT o'clock an Oak street and
Bryn Mawr car, Conductor John M.
Quady, No 135, and Motorman s. L.
Anderson, No. sos, reached the end of
the line at Bryn Mawr. Seven people
left the car, after which the two street
car men turned the car around. pre-
paratory to making the return trip,
They were almost ready to start and
Quady was poking up the fire in the
stove, when three men entered. The
passengers were not by this time more
than block away. Quady continued
poking the fire and did not look up,
until commanded to throw up his
hands. Even then the conductor paid
no attention to the matter, thinking
that it was all joke. Throw up
your hands" was repeated, and when
Quady looked up three ugly-looking re-
volvers were thrust into his face. The
unsuspecting victim was still not sure
that 1t was all a reality, but he came
to his senses when the footpads re-
peated, Throw up your hands or We'll
shoot" This had the desired effect,
and Quady lost no time in complying.
The three robbers each wore black
handkerchiefs over their faces and
each carried a revolver. One Of tho
trio was smaller than the other two,
and when Quady lifted his hands he
searched the conductors pockets, talk
ing therefrom the sum of $1205. The
metorman, by this time, had entered
the car, and one Of the taller robbers
covered him, while the small man went
through him. Anderson's pockets yield
ed only one cent and the robbers
thoughtfully returned this to him.
The car men secured a fairly good descrip-
ton of the trio. All of them are said to be
young men, the smaller one probably not
over eighteen years of age. The two taller
men wore gray suits and black SLOUGH hats
The kid" had on gray trousers and a cap.
The police were at once notified and officers
were Immediately put to work on the case.
The police in the outlying districts were
also instructed to look for the men in case
they should attempt to repeat the hold-up act.
The holiness of the trio is remar kabIe
considering that the act was committed in
the lighted car, and at time when people
are usually around, although the scene Of
the hold-up is a lonely one, no houses being
nearer than block.
The street company is bending every
effort toward the capture of the crooks They
have offered a reward of 500 for evidence
securing the arrest and conviction Of the
guilty parties, and they intend to follow up
the matter to the end in similar cases, should
they occur, as well as in this one.

possible to send to the Bremerhaven

who went on board the Solid with a
supply of bread. beef and potatoes, re-
ported that the barkentire was in a
bad plight. Her bulwarks were al
most all gone and the seas washed

weather came on thick, and the Solid

A, of the Yale Art school, will deliver an illustrated lecture on Rome and Michael Angelo" in the United church chapel, Temple street, next Thursday evening, December 17, at 8 o'clock.

It is designed for a general audience, and is profusely and richly illustrated by the stereopticon, with a continuous series of views and master pieces of art bringing simultaneously before the eye the objects and places as they are referred to in the lecture. These views have been specially pre- pared under the direction of the lec- turer and extend to every point of i'm portance which he wishes to bring be- fore his audience.
 Through the kindness of Professor Weir this lecture is given to aid the work of the Young Mems guild of St. Johns Episcopal church.
