0UTRAN THE H0LDUPS.
Mr.. Midgeley Refused to Obey Com
mand Of Highwaymen.

Three men sprang from the shadows
Of the trees early this morning, and,
at the point Of revolvers, commanded
Z. A. Midgeley to throw up his hands
The intended victim refused and dashed
down the street, escaping from the
highwaymen.
Midgeley, in company with Sharp
Walker, was going home early this
morning, and had reached Fifth South
and West Temple. Neither was armed,
and no attention was paid to three men
who were seen lurking in the shadows
ahead. Walker stopped at his home,
and Midgeley proceeded alone. When
he reached the men, however, the high
waymen sprang out onto the sidewalk,
and, 1eveling their revolvers, command
ed him to halt and TO throw 10 his
hands. He paid no attention to the
command, and at once sped down the
street. One of the men started in pur-
suit. but the Others remained at the
corner. and the other soon stoppepd.
Midgeley returned to the city, where
he told the story. He escaped robbery
nothing was lost in the attempt.
