While the Assistance, For Which He
wouId Have Called, Was Allowed
to Get Beyond Reach "A
Daring Highway Robbery.
A bold highway robbery occurred late
Saturday night and was repotred to the
police yesterday morning. Charles FL
sasser, who resides south Of North Indus
try ,sreut the evening In Canton ana start
cd to wslk home at late hour. He had
just crossed the bridge south of the Oak
Grove when he was aocosted by two men
who asked him the distaucs to North In
dustry. While ojnversinP, one Of the
men commanded Elsasser to throw up
his hands, at the same moment pointing
a revolver at his lead. He was bound
to comply, as he vas practically un-
armed. While one Of the men kept him
cowed with the revolver the other went
through bis pockets and secured three
watches, q revolver which was not loaded
and 81 in cash. While this act was being
accomplished carriage passed and FL
sass:r raised his voice to ask for assis-
tsnce. At this one Of the highwaymen
drew long, dangerous dirk, held it over
the thoroughly frightened victim and
threatened to plunge IL into him IL he re-
peatsd the outcry. The occupants Of the
carriage evidsntly did not hear him or
did not wish to run any risk, % they
drove on and left the unfortunate man In
the hands of the mendacious robbers.
After securing their booty they com
manded Elsasser to lie down st the side
of the road and then strcde rapidly
away, disappearing in the darkness.
Elsasser frequently comes to the city
aud upon his visits usually trades watches,
revolvers and various trinkets.
He was looking up bargains Saturday,
which accounts for him having three
watches and the unlosded reyolve r. The
police will make an effot to locats the
who it is believed, reside in this
city.
