HIGHWAY ROBBERY
George Galloway, the Colored auck-
ster Held UP and Robbed of S42 at
Hilton P~ark-Four Young Negroes In
the Robber Gang

George Galloway, a colored huckster
at Front street market, was boldly held
up and robbed of s42 by four young
negro highwaymen at Hilton park on
Thursday night about 10 o'clock.
Galloway's story to the police is that
he and a woman went out on the cars
to the park and sat down near the Deer
garden overlooking Northeast river.
While sitting there a young negro man
came near them and laid down for a
few minute as if watching them In
q few minutes he got up and went
away but returned in a short time. On
account of the suspicious movements
of the man, Galloway and he woman
decided to cav When they a walk
ed off a short distance three other ne
groes joined the other one, and the four
OF them approached and
commanded Galloway to give up his
money.
Galloway says he had collected some
bills on Wednesday and thinks the gang
followed him to the park TO get his
money. When they surrounded him
they drew clubs and cursed him n
told him to shell out Or they would
maui his brains out. AS they had him
at their mercy he pulled out his pocket
book and gave it to them TO save his
life. He states that they took his
money, amounting to about S42, ana
returned his pocket book TO him.
In the meantime the woman had peen
so frightened that she walked on TO-
wards the Hilton Lumber Company ;
mill but when the robbers had gotten
Galloway's money they chased after
her. She ran into the lumber yards
and escaped by hiding in a pile of lum-
Der where they failed to find her. Not
being able to catch the woman the
four men again went after Galloway
but he ran and got away from them.
Galloway went owe to Fourth street
to report the robbery to policemen on
duty in that quarter of the city. He
told his story to Policemen j. NJ. King
and w. E. Watson and they accompa-
MED him to the park. He pointed out
the four robbers but when they saw
the officers, all ran and escaped with
the exception of one who was taken
into custody by the officers.
The man who was arrested gave ms
name as Peter Rountree but denied
that he had a hand in the robbery. He
was locked up n is still in custody
at the city hall.

paid Mr.. French a visit was the same
who entered the residence of his neighsS
