HORSE RAN AWAY.
If 1t Hadn't Highwaymen Might
Have Been Caught.

George Christman, farmer living
two miles west of Wanamaker, had an
experience with highwaymen Saturday
night which furnished two deputy
sheriffs and a wagon load of policemen
amusement for several hours
Christman had been to Topeka and
was returning home in his buggy. He
left the city shortly after dark, and it
was near O'Clock when he reached the
scene of the holdup, about three
quarters of a mile from his home Two
men met him, and one stepped out into
the road in front and asked Tor a roe
The other aDproached the side of the
buggy at the same time, and both pre-
scented large revolvers, and Christman
hastily complied with their request 70
get out of the buggy. One of the rob-
bers then applied the muzzle of his
revolver to the farmers head and the
other searched his pockets Chrlstman
had been at work in the city all day,
and over his trousers wore PAIR OF
overalls, which the robbers did not re-
alize, as they only searched the pock-
cts of the outer garment and missed
$35 in. his trousers pocket.
"Oh, d you, you seem to be as
dits. and told Christman to get back
in his buggy and 60 They kept MIN
covered until he was out of sight
toward his home, and then ran Christ

uties Hal Williams and Carl Lawson

reached the little bridge near Frank

a mile west of town, Lawson saw two
men by the roadside apparently looking

/ One of the men answered by raising a
revolver with the command Throw up
your hands," Both officers fired, and
, say that the men by the roadside fired
back. The. deputies emptied their re-
/ volvers before their horse bolted and
ran away, taking them out of range
of the answering shots Of the desper-
After the officers had stopped the
/ horse and tied him, they returned to

| They looked around for while, and
! then went to the nearest telephone and
called up the police station. The patrol

I posse of farmers also arrived, and the
combined forces searched the brush

/ they wounded one of the highwaymen
at the first fire, but no traces of blood
/ were found
Christman described the men as the
tail one and the short one like the
mysterious Chicago duo. The tall one
wore dark coat and cap, and the
short one wore a gray hat and dark
suit and q sailor tie. Both wore re-
volvers Of the largest size, OF at least
