L liian shutter Resists The Attempt of Two
Men to Rob Her ONCE.

An indefinite vacation and $50 has
been presented to Miss Lillian Shutter,

up her cash preparatory to sending it in
to the head office by the money train.
Miss Shutter tells the story as follows:

checking up my nights account. Near
me was a bag containing $67, left by
the day agent. and | was going to de-
liver 10 to the money train that was eX-
pected in Il few minutes. Suddenly
noticed that one of the men was right
in front of me and pointing a pistol at
my head. Give me the money he said
and the other man rushed at me
through the door of the little office.

bravery in what | did. | remember
that | jumped off the stool and said, I

men hit me on the head with club. 1t

money there was in the drawer. while
the other stood over me. Neither was

long run 10 the street from the ticket
office. for the stairs make several long
turns, and a policeman, who was not
very far away, heard me and came run
ming up.

Then | hurried back to the ticket office
to see to things there.
Both men were arrested and identified
by Miss Shutter. After the robbery an
ambulance was summoned from St.
Johns hospital, but the plucky girl in
sisted that the cut on her head be
dressed in the ticket office. as ii was
not serious and she could not leave her
station. Not till Ills. which was her
usual time for leaving, would she con-
sent to go to the hospital to have the
wound more carefully examined. In a
few hours she went home. Six months

porter seized the money and ran, but

veracity of Louis Luetgert. he declined TO
put him on the stand. The court agreed
with the prosecution and then notified
Mr. Harmon that he must be ready to
proceed tomorrow morning.
