| BOLD HOLDUP
| Sayre Groesbeck had a rather unpleas-
ant experience with footpad about 1890
Friday night, in the course of which he
| was relieved of about So in money and a
ring which he valued as a keepsake. He
was walking with young lady up Ray
mond avenue near the opera house at the
hour mentioned when a man suddenly con-
| fronted him and poked a revolver at his
breast. Groesbeck submitted gracefully,
until the fellow caught sight of the ring
| he wore which belonged to his mother, and
then Groesbeck showed fight, but the fell
low had the best of him and hit him over
the head with his revolver. Just then a
car approached and Groesbeck made for
it, the young lady having got out of the
way early in the performance. Although
there were a number of men on the car,
they would not help capture the robber,
and he made good his escape. He looked
like tramp and had the lower part of
his face covered with a handkerchief.
