Held Up the Sheriff.

A Shawnee paper furnishes the fol-
lowing:
Chief Hill was notified by phone
4 Monday night to be on the watch for
1.-TWO robbers who had held up a deputy
sheriff at Earlboro about dark that
night The men were described as
one tall and slim, the other rather
short and chunky, both well dressed
ard possessed of plenty OF nerve.
They met Deputy Sheriff Francis on
the streets of Earlboro about dark
Monday night and walked up to him
without his suspecting that they in
tended to rob him.
A revolver at his temple was the
first intimation that he had that they
reant business, and was forced to
lold up his hands, and as he had no
chance to draw his own weapon. They
searched him and took his gun, a 3S
Cglibre Colts, mounted on a 40 frame,
and a pair of handouts. His keys
were also taken and then the men
ran. He got a gun and went after
them but failed to catch them.
1t is reported today that a store at
Earlboro was robbed a few moments
lefore the deputy was held up. The
men went into the store and bought
crackers and cheese for a lunch. When
tney expressed a desire for beer, a
clerk went out after some, they held
up the other clerk and took what they
wanted. The men are supposed to be
: hiding in this vicinity and a close
Watch is kept for them. Eheriff Grace
was called to Earlboro Monday night
and he is also at work on the case.
