LonxaOn land Globe Finance Corporation
Is Embarrassed.
Ls0nfbon, Dec. 31.-The London and
Globe Finance corporation, a leading
investment company Of England with
a capital of $1O0O0,OO0, is i'm difficulty
and unable to meet the heavy demands
up0n it. There is no failure, and ar
engagements are being made In the hope
of tiding over the difficulties. Lord
Dnmerin is chairman and Whitaker
Wright manager of the company,
which dealt largely in Australian
mines, and also backed the construc-
tion GIftthe Beker Street and Waterloo
railway, one of LOndOn's new under
grounds, in which it invested nearly
$4,OO0,0OO. The road is unoompleted.
A heavy raid was made in the stock
exchange on the company's Australian
mines, prices were hammered and the
company badly squeezed. There are
fears of a stampede on change and
many failures are predicted, as the
money market is tight. 1t is said the
checks of several old and responsible
mercantile firms which have been con-
nected with the London and Globe
were returned unpaid, and that this
precipitated the raid.
The suspension Of the London and
Globe Finance corporation has been
followed 10y thirteen other failures on
the stock exchange.

The only marked difference between

OUAKERS NOW PAY LICENSE
When New Ordinance Goes Into Effect They
Readily Comply With II.

The Quaker doctors and the city
authorities are now getting on amicably
together. Peace has been declared be-
tween them for the present and both
sides are faring better than they did
before the battle was over. When the
new ordinance went into effect last
Friday the doctors went to Mayor
Fechter and told him they would take
out license, and accordingly City Clerk
II. B Doust issued the necessary papers
to permit them to do business. They
now pay $25 day for selling their medi-
cines on the streets and for giving a free
show, taking out license each day for
the performances. They have built a
stand near the junction of First street
and Yakima avenue, and three times a
day give a free exhibition.
Appeals have been taken in all the
cases decided against them by Justices
MacCrimmon and Taggard. In the
cases in which they were arrested for
giving free show, and heard before
Justice McCrimmon, they were fined
500 and costs, and in the three cases
against them for violating the pharmacy
law tried ny Justice Taggard, they were
fined 500 and costs. These fines are about
enough to pay all the expenses the city
has gone to, so the mayor says, in prose-
cutting the suits. The appeals have been
taken on the grounds that the ordinance

SECOND HOLD-UP.
Lee Taylor Relieved Of Sill at 3 O'Clock on
Tuesday Morning.

Lee Taylor, Il hack driver, was held up
and robbed at 3 a. m. Tuesday, on
Yakima avenue between the Fashion
livery stable and the Mikado restaurant.
The highwayman got 81 in cash from
him, but overlooked $3.50 that was in
another pocket. He had taken the
Yakima bus from the hotel to the livery
stable after returning from the 2 :23 a m.
train, and was coming up the sidewalk
alone. When he reached point just to
the rear of the restaurant two men, well
masked, jumped out from behind that
building and commanded him at the
point OF a revolver to hold up his hands.
He did so as quick as possible, and one
man went through his pockets while the
other one kept him covered with the
gun. They took everything out of his
pockets, and when finding the $11 they
at once relieved him and told him to
skip, which he did, while the robbers
took off to the northward.
Officer Starrett was found and notified
and made thorough search, but no
one could be found to answer the de-
scription of the two men, for there
wasn't much description to give.

4 DARING H0LD-UP.
W w. Robertson and Wallace Williams Meet
Footpads on Their Way Home.

The boldest hold-up ever enacted III
the city was that which took place about
9SO last Friday night. The victims
were Col W W. Robertson, editor OF
the Yakima Republic, and Wallace
Williams, secretary-treasurer of the
Yakima Milling Co. Mr.. Robertson lost
between s. and IS and a cheap silver
watch that had been given to him by
Keene, the jewelry, to carry while his
gold watch was being repaired, and a
gold chain that was worth about $l5.
Mr.. Williams lost $43 in money that be-
longed to the milling company and a
gold watch and chain that was valued
at about sS5. The hold-up took place
on the side walk at the corner of Second
and C streets. The two men were on
their way home from meeting of the
Commercial club. 1t was a bright moon
light night and the air was cool and
bracing. At the place of the incident
heavy foliaged trees overhang the side
walk and, Notwithstanding the bright
full moon, the place was dark and
gloomy They arrived at the corner and
were in the act of parting, Mr.. Williams
to 20 up c street to his home on First
and Mr.. Robertson to go down G to his
home on Natchez avenue, when three
men jumped up from the pavement
along the fence down c street, and one
OF them said:
Hold up your hands we want your
money!
There was momentary hesitency in
complying, but second command soon
sent four big hands up into the branches
Of the overhanging trees. While one
fellow held the gun dangerously toward
the two victims the other too walked for
ward and commenced to rifle their peck
cts. After taking all the money they
had and the watches the thugs demand
ed the rings each man wore. They
secured the ring OF Mr.. Williams and
were in the act of pulling one off Mr..
Robertson's finger, but he pleaded hard
for it, saying it was a present to him
and could be of no value to the robbers.
This plea touched the highwaymen'
hearts and they permitted Robertson to
retain it. Mr.. Williams made the same
plea for his watch, which had been q
gift to him, but they replied:
well take that; we need it in oul
business.
The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1901-10-03

A bunch OF keys, note book and a
leather pocket book were taken from
Mr.. Robertson. These contained valu-
able papers of no interest to any one but
the owner, SO they were returned. The
thief doing the searching hit upon a
cigar, and as he took it made the re-
mark:
"I'll smoke with you partner"
This facetious remark brought forth a
"jolly" from the colonel, who made the
CHEEKY response:
"Smoke hearty, old man, | couldn't
hold it between my teeth now ii / want
ed to-
| As soon as all this was gone through
with, and much more that has not been
told, the chief of the gang said:
"Now you fellows hike straight ahead !;
keep your hands up and don't look
back"
OF course both men liked, as it were,
and complied most methodically with
the dictum to keep their hands up. AS
Robertson is an unusually fast walker he
forged ahead of Williams and soon out
distanced his friend in trouble. But in a
few seconds the highwaymen were gone as
though spirits had flown away with them,
and in a moment thereafter any one
passing the place would not have been
aware that footpads had piled their trade
so admirably in the heart OF the city.
No description OF the men can be given,
only that one man was large and the
other two were short and thick set. All
three men wore masks and while doing
the work kept their hats well down over
their faces.
As soon as the robbers disappeared
the victims notified the authorities and
a search was at once begun in the locali-
ties where hobos are wont to loaf.
About 20 men were arrested during the
night, but on none of them were any
thing found that would connect them
with the crime. However, three men
of this city are suspected.
