TWO WOMEN ROB
A TICKET OFFICE
TOOK THEM ONLY SEVEN MIN
UTEs TO GET $500.
Another Ticket Office Robbed by
Three Masked Men-This Was
In Chicago.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-Two daring de-
pot robberies, one in Ravenswood and
the other in Evanston were committed
today, in one instance 1t is believed
by two women and in the other by
three masked men. The Chicago and
Northwestern railroad was the victim
in each instance.
About 11:45 a. m. two fashionably
dressed women stepped up to tho tick
ct window at Ravenswood and pur.
chased tickets to Evanston. They
then sat down in the ladies' waiting
room supposedly to await the coming
train. Ticket Agent Boynton left his
Office for luncheon few minutes lat
er. Before leaving he says he locked
the safe and the Office door. Boynton
says he is sure two women were the
only persons in the station when he
left.
Station Agent Frank Stocking ar
rived at the station seven minutes aft
er Boynton left. AS he entered the
station two women passed him on the
way out and hurriedly walked away.
Stocking found the door to the tick
ct ofiico ajar and passing in discov-
cred the safe open and tho inside
cash drawer broken open and its con-
tents gone.
In the short space of seven minutes
the female burglars had broken the
heavy lock of the office door, gained
access to the big steel safe and per-
formed the difficult task of breaking
into the steel cash drawer.
They secured $3.50 in cash and $3.50
in checks. The latter they dropped
into a mail box a few blocks from
the station and they were returned by
the letter carrier later in the day.
Boynton insists that he locked the
safe and only some one who knew the
combination could have opened 1t so
quickly.
The other robbery was hold up.
N. A. Nanser, the ticket agent Of the
Northwestern road at the Greenwood
boulevard depot IN Evanston, was the
ictim of three masked men who rob-
bed him of his salary. $35, and SOS

NO TRACE:
OF ADAM LONG, MISSING MAPLE
TON FARMER - NOT THE
MARION SUICIDE.

Trace, for time last night, was
thought to have been secured by the
police in regard to the whereabouts of
Adam Long, farmer, living one mile
from Mapleton, who has been missing
from his home for the past ten days
or two weeks.
A dispatch In the Morning News of
yesterday from Marion, O.. telling of
an unknown man who had committed
suicide In woods near Marion by
hanging led some of Longs relatives
to believe Long to have been the man.
Following this theory, Captain of
Police Patterson was informed and
Marien authorities were communicate
ed with over. the telephone by the
captain but the suicides description
did not tally in any respect with that
Of the Mapleton farmer.
Marion authorities stated however,
that they had seen man answering
Longs description going through Mar
ion on last Monday. headed northward.
Longs father lives at 1910 East Tus-
carawas street.

frequently threatened to get even. To-

After conference the telegram was
sent to Sheriff Barrett, but while wait

was formed for Bollworth's capture.
While a parleying party kept him at
the front window several armed men
broke in the back door Of the house

would be opened from both sides un-
less he surrendered. He soon gave up

This report was obtained last night
upon what seemed TO be well ground-

phone query to the workhouse. Henry
Menegay, one of the night guards there
denied the story, although not in em-
phatic terms, stating that to secure
any information Superintendent Reed
would have to be seen.
He said he could not tell whether
the man was in the workhouse or not.
According to the story Of the alleged
escape, the man, who in Massillon at
the time of his arrest and sentence

to the cellar right away the fellow
sneaked to the wardrobe, secured his
street clothes and then went to the
cellar where he made change. In
these he managed to elude detection
and 1t was over half an hour before his
absense was noted. The bloodhounds
were put on the case but apparently
without result. Guard Menegay ac-
knowledged last night that the blood
hounds had been out for practice
about this time.

the mans antecedents could not be as

Massillon brought a severe penalty,
his sentence not expiring until the
