Especial to Review)
 Douglas, May 21.-A hold-up was attempted here last night, which had 1t not been for the caution every one here is now using. because of re- cent sensational events, might have been successful. It occurred at I2tb and E at about 11:30, and the intend ed victims were Edmund Thornton and George T. Vaughn.
 MT. Thornton is the junior member lof the gents furnishing house of Scott and Thornton. Mir. Vaughn has charge of the gents furnishing de- partment of the Copper Queen store.
 It has been MT. Thorntons custom to take the contents of his cash draw CT home when closing up for the night. Last night he followed his us- ual custom and had on his person over two hundred dollars in coin, bills and lchecks.
 Vaughn. who is a friend and club mate of Thornton, was in the store at the time it was closed and accompan- jed Mir. Thornton toward home. The boys turned the corner of the building and took a short cut across lots to F avenue and Eleventh street and con- tinued across lots to Twelfth and E. Here they were met by two men, who at once separated and started to close in on them from opposite directions. Vaughn started to evade them and at this moment, one of the thugs yelled, hands up"
 Neither Vaughn nor Thornton had a weapon of any kind. so bolted. They were too fast for the highwaymen, who did not give chase very far.
 Mir. Thornton is under the impress sion that whoever the men were. they had watched him take the money from the drawer and knowing the route he took in going home, laid for him to hold him up. q could not see whether either of them had a gun" said Mir. Thornton. One was a man of medium height and build, the other tall and slim. I think one of them wore slouch hat and the other a derby. They were dirty looking fel- lows, both of them. I did not wait long enough to take a careful look"
 Mir. Vaughn's stoV of the attempt ed hold-up is practically the same as that related by MT. Thornton. MT. Vaughn, however, could not state how either man was dressed.
 Tt was too dark" said MT. Vaughn, and besides, I was not waiting around that particular vicinity any longer than I had to-"
