KNEW IT WAS PAY DAY.

Fred Tetlow and his friends tell
strange story about holdup at Wanskuck
the other evening that is about as sensa-
tional "A STORY as has been told OF this sec
tion Of the city in some time. Mr. Tetlow
claims that while returning home along
Vandewater street the other evening from
"A call on friend, he was stopped by tso
men, whom he claims had revolvers and
said TO him give us what stuff you have,
for was not today pay day." Mr. Tetlow
admitted that he had receiyedlhis compen-
sation for the previous week of toll on
that day and the men, he says, searched
him. Mr. Tetlow had taken the precau-
tion to leave his money at home previous
to going To make customary call SO his
friends say all the men, alleged TO have
revolvers got was fifteen cents and "a
package of tobacco. After the men, who
wore masks, had got through with their
search they ordered him TO make double
quick time for home. There is no clue 10
the identity of the men who did the deed
but as they were so well informed about
pay days and seemed to know Tetlow
pretty well many are disposed to look
upon the holdup as the act of some parties
who take special delight in the first day of
the present month.
