 Secure $7OO

 Minutes Later
(Globe Silver Belt.)

One of the bOldeSt and most sue 'eessful saloon hold-ups ever perpe- -trated lhere took place few minutes before o'clock this dThursday) morn ing. at the InternaIienal saloon in the -Pasquale Nigro building. run by Wade Sotel and Wm. " Jones.
 In the saloon at lthe time were " w. Jones. Ed Looney, the bartender, Wm. Meier, recently of the Silver Dollar saloon. and a girl frequenteT of saloons Jones and Looney were behind the bar, the former nearest the front. the giEl sitting on the bar. and Meier leaning against it on the outside. They were about to shake ,dice for the last round of drinks be- fore closing the saloon, the games having already been closed and tse money placed in the safe, which was locked, when Ewo masked men sud denly entered ihe front door with re- volvers drawn and ordered the parties at the bar tr throw up their hands.
 One of the robbers, wearing white handkerchief over his face. took n DO sition inside the door and coEered those at the bar with his six-shooter, while the other, the taller of the two, wearing a iiEht-colored soft hat and his face disgdtsed hy piece of a black shirt with eye-holes cut in it. quickly jumped over the bar. pulled the slid ing curtain across the front window and turning TO Jones, the proprietor of the honse, ordered him to open the safe. Jones was slow ir complying, I and covertIy sattempted to draw a 5S caiiber pistol from his pocket. b1S the i robber detecting the movement, ! caught Jones arm, took the pistol l from him and struck Jones a light blow on the head with the weapon, threatening to kill him if he did not immediately open the safe, which ] stood at the end of the bar close to the front entrance to the saloon Jones obeyed the order with alacrity. Thed robber quickly took the sacks of mon. ey (712 silver dollars), from the safe, passed them to his confederate, and 1 jumping oves the bar backed out of the I aoor with him, and upon reaching the street they Ean north on Broad street, I crossed the foot bridge opposite the I Webster boarding house and ran up ] the hill on the opposite side of the l road from the boarding house
 Jones emerged from the saloon a ] few moments after the robbers, and 1 having secured another gun, fired sev- eral shots to attract the attention of the officers. There were none in the 1 vicinity, however. Night Wscthman l Birchfield was farther up the street, 1 Deputy Sheriff Cy Byrne was at the depot waiting for the incoming pas | senger train, and Ranger William | Sparks was in bed. It was some lit | tle time before these officers appear | ,ed on the scene and took the trail of the holdups.
 Walter Webster, and a roomer at the Webster House who had just come | from the mine, came out of the house | when the shoxs were fired and saw | ihe supposed robbers cross the small ] bridge and run up the hill past the first two houses and until lost in the | darkness.
 It was some little time afterward 1 when the officers arrived. They went | to the small house nearest the creek. | in which Al Netfle roomed, and fn6- | ing the door locked, broke it open. l Nettle was not there, the bed was not -mussed, and there was an opium lay aur on the table ready for the use of the occupant of the house when he returned The officers crossed to the | ro&E above the Webster house and | few minutes later Kettle was seen ap- preaching He walked along uncon- | eerredly until he saw the officers ! ahead of him, when he feigned drunk | cnness. The officers took him into | custody and landed him in the coun- 4y jail at o'clock. The officers ! claim that Kettles actions were sus- ! 3icious. and it is said that Jones, pro p-ietor of the International saloon, | will positively identify Kettle as the i man who forced him to open the safe.
 The pistol taken from Jcnes in the ] saloon and the piece of black shirt | which the leader of the robbers wore over his face were found in the road | about 156 yards north of the saloon.
 The money secured by the robbers was from the crap game and wheel , swned by O. ]. Mum and Joe Wilkins, and the monte game, of which Wilk- ins was the sole owner.
 Sotel and Jones, proprietors of the saloon, had no money in the safe and | were not losers by the robbery.
 This holdup is the second within month, the roulette wheel at the Owl eaioon having been taken in by two masked robbers on the morning of March 3 just as the money-s40o- was about to be taken to the safe.
 The officers should begin system atic rounding up of the vagrant class which has become numerous in Globe Vigorous handling would soon rid the I town of the more objectionable ele- ment.
