pany, was walking to his home, 1902 East
Ninth street, late Wednesday night three
men attempted to hold him up at the
point of a revolver on the corner OF Ninth

pad who held the revolver, and by duck
ing his head narrowly escaped being
shot. After the shot was fired the would
be robbers took to their heels down Vine
street, with Payne giving chase. When
Tenth street was reached another shot
was fred, and at Tenth street and Tracy
avenue the revolver was dropped and
later picked up by Payne, who turned it
over to the police, when he notified them
of the attempted holdup. At Tenth street
and Tracy avenue Payne ceased to follow
the men. No description of them was
given and no trace as to their identity has
been discovered by the police.
