judgment to cover city warrants which he
holds to amount of some $4,000 with
interest bringing the sum up to $2O,00t

the plaintiff and the city government
have been sparring over for several
years. Pension Commissioner EuseuC
Ware has been representing the city and

men and given the order to hold up your
paddles? If the order was backed by a
gun muzzle held close to your cheek and
another touching the left side Of your

request. A. P. Kolley took this view Of
the matter on Monday evening. He had
started home and had finished about half
Of the trip when be was held up and
covered at close range by two masked
men. They searched him and found $4l,
eight So bills and q one dollar bill. Mr..
Kolley was asked next morning II he had

mo, 1t was lucky | didn't. They would
have taken that with the money" After
taking his money they told him that he
could 60. As Mr.. Kolley started north
ward the two men went east on the run
and made their escape. They were not
very large men but were rather of the
tall and slender type. There was nothing
about their voices or appearance that Mr..
{oley recognized. One of the men said
while the other was searching, "Are you
sure you have got all of his money, pal?"
No trace Of the men or clue to their
identity was found Monday night. One
man who has been studying tie affair
Jpiieyes that he knows the parties,

means, lie thinks they are the same
parties who entered the M0otz second
hand store last Thursday night. Mr..
NooIz' store was entered by parties who
knew where the key was kept. They
evidently entered the store to get some
revoIyers kept in stock. These bad been
aiken away by Mr.. Mootz and after they
failed to get the guns the parties who
entered the store left and tried later to
get into the City Hardware Store but
failed. The man who thinks he eau lay |
his hands on these parties gives a num-
