Held Up in Douglas.

The following important item ap-
peared in the Dispatch of Douglas.
Ari ,ona, on Sunday last. and as it
concerns former well known people of
Grand Junction 1T is reproduced in
these coIumns. Mr.. Smith is
brother-in-law of Mr. Struthers and
also of William Wilson. fireman ON
the Grande:
There was an attemped hold-up
last Friday night at the corner of B
and Fourteenth streets. in which Mr..
and Mrs. Alfred Smith were very
roughly handled.
"When seen by Dispatch reporter
been spending the evening with Mr..
and Mrs. Struthers and sometime be-
tween quarter after ten and eleven
we started home. We were near our
house when we heard noise in the
brush behind us and turned round.
We saw someone running toward us
and stopped apart for him to pass be-
tween us and / asked what do you
want? He answered. Now I've got
vuu, and struck me over the eye.
"He followed me as 1 staggered
back until 1 fell, and then turned ON
Mrs. Smith. Mrs. Smith said. You
wouldn't strike woman would you,
and then as the man began to strike
him he said to call the boys and call
for Dave. 1 threw nv arms around
the man ana said. what do you
want and I'll give it to you? and then
said. you wouldn't kill my husband.
would you?
&c All the neighbors ran out; Mr..
Smiths brother was the first on the
ground, and Savoy's brother ran oot
too, in his night clothes. He cover
ed Mr.. Struthers with a revolver and
said BE careful Dave. Then after
bit he went back into his cabin and
laid down the revolver and dressed
himself.
When they brought the lamp we
were surprised to find that the man
was our neighbor. Mr.. d. Savoy. We
had known him for four or five
months and had always been on friend
ly terms. When our husbands We're
away we women had always looked
ON him as our protector.
'' Mr.. Smith was taken into the
house and the doctor sent for to dress
the gashes in his head. The doctor
saws these were made by some blunt
instrument. though Savoy claims to
have uused only two-foot rule with
heavy brass trimmings.
" Savoy was held in his cabin un-
til an officer appeared and placed him
under arrest. He at first said he
thought it was his brother irving to
play some joke ON him. and then that
it was some Mexicans trying to steal
wood
although Savoy was arrested Fri
day night he was let out on bail later.
Charges were preferred gainst him
yesterday. but two officers refused
to arrest him. Ranger Hopkins went
mp last night hut could find no trace
of him. The man who went bail for
Savoy is said to have owed him that
amount of money.
