Held Up BY
TWO ROBBERS
Burns, the Grocer, Relieved
of His Coin on Lang
ton Street.
Both of the Men Wore Masks,
and One Was Armed With
a Revolver.
In Their Hurry They Overlooked
Some Money the Victim Had in
Another Pocket,

The police would like very much to run
down two bold highwaymen who have
been operating for some time past in va
rious parts of the City. For while the
fellows confined their operations to the
Western Addition and Hayes Valley. but
they never stayed very long at a time in
one locality. Their last mcve was over to
the south of Market street.
The last trek that they performed was
to hold up and rob grocer named ].
Burns, whose p. ace of business is on Lang
ton street, between Seventh and Eighth.
In connection with his store Burns con-
ducts small saloon, and when trade is
dull he closes up The place about mid
night.
On Tuesday night about IL 80 o'clock
Burns decided that there was no use of
keeping the place open any longer, so he
made preparations to close for the night.
He emptied the money-drawer and dis
tributed the money in several of his pock-
cts and started for the door. Just as he
reached the entrance two men-as usual,
one tall and the other short-stepped in
side and commanded Burns to throw up
his hands.
Il guess that you want the money" he
said, land as you hold the trump cards 60
abe ad."
That's what" answered the tall man.
The shorter of the two quietly slipped
around the grocer, who's hands almost
reached the gas Jet. SO high was he keep
ing them over his head, and felt Ior the
victims pistol, if he had one. No weapon
was there, so he turned Burns around and
proceeded to Investigate his pockets.
You Will find some silver and two rings
in the left-hand pocket" remarked the
grocer, "but the rings are not much ac-
count"
Down went the mans hand into the
POCKET indicated, and he fshed out a
handful of silver. A second dive and out
came the rem ainder of the coin and the
two rings.
Put the rings back" said the man with
the revolver. 1t was done.
well, you have cleaned me out of all
that l have made to-day" remarked
Burns, land as you have the money I
think 1t is no more than right that you
should stand treat"
Haven't got the time just now. You
get back in there and don't make any
noise or I'll fill you full of lead" was the
cheerful answer of the man who held the
revolver. With this he backed out of the
door, his companion by his side, and
e neu sne ooor III tue iace OF the grocer,
whose hands were still pointing sky ward.
When Burns recovered his composure
ne laughed, Tor the robbers had in tn cir
hurry overlooked trick. Down in the
depth OF his vest pocket reposed shin
ing $40 piece and in one of the coat pockets
was "a 90 more in silver. He closed the
door and yesterday he reported the case
to the police and gave all the description
that he could of the robbers.
Detectives Ryan and o. Dea were put on
the case by Captain BoheD. The descrip.
ilon that was given by Grocer Burns tai
lies with that given OF the fellow. who
have been operating in the Western Addl.
tion and Hayes Valley of late.

who for the past fourteen years has
bee, i'm connection with bicycle manu-
featuring and repairing. We did not
pick him up on the streets here, but
sent to headquarters in the States,
where bicycles are made. We need
not go further to explain his ability,
but will end here by saying there is
nothing that can happen to your Bike
but what he can make as good as
new. lie is no "Jack of All Trades"
but is a Master of the Bicycle.
by the next Australia, we viii re-
ceive the most complete outfit for En-
amcling frames ever brought to Hon

ing it will pay you to wait little lon
ger and have good job done. We
guarantee to turn out work as good
as that of the factories in the States,
for only So.
If your tire is cut don't throw it
away, bring it to us and we will re-
pair it, so you will never know where
it was cut, for only 81.
If you have punctured tire bring
it TO us and it will only cost you so
cents.
If you should happen to run into a
sidewalk or a telephone post and so
break a rim, we will put new one
in for $3.50, and guarantee the best
job in the city.
The reason we can do this work
better than anyone else is because we
keep a man at each branch, and of
course he becomes expert at the
branch he handles.
For instance we have one man for
