HELD UP.

Lynchburg, Va. last week., and arriv-
ing in Chicago, he started, grip in
hand, through Fifth Ave. for the
southern railroad station About two ]
blocks from the depot he was accost- |
ted by gentemanly appearing fellow,
who called him by name and asked |
when he arrived in the city and joined |
in to walk along the street with him. |
Just ahead were two other gentleman
ly fellows and right behind him came
another, who reached under Bucks |
coat and extracted a revolver from
his hip pocket, Pointing the gun full
in his face, he was told to slip into an
alley and hold up his hands. All the
other gentlemen joined in the invita-
tion, which was accepted. Asked what
money he had and in what pocket, Mr..
Buck told them, and one of them |
reached in and took his pocket book |
in which were four twenty-dollar bills |
and five. The highwayman took the |
money out and slipped three twenties |
and the five into his own pocket, and |
replacing onetwenty in his Mr.. Bucks !
pocket book, told him to go and not to
be slow about it either, and he wasn't.
The gentlemanly cut-throat told him
it would be useless to complain to the
police, for no credence would be given
to story that he had been held up by
thieves who would leave him his watch
and twenty dollars in money.
Mr.. Buck concluded not to GO to
Lynchburg but took the first train
making close connections for Sauk
! Centre, and arrived here on Saturday
noon. He will 60 to Lynchburg' later.
