AN ISOLATED SPOT
Falls Hotel Is Ideally Located for Op-
.. Grafton Of Highwaymen.

Nowhere in the city could desperate
men find a more favorable place for
operating than at the Falls hotel. Altho
located In the center Of the city's COM
mercial and industrial activity, it is
really as lonely as a roadside tavern
the other large iron works. In front
are the tracks Of the st. Louis and the
Milwaukee roads over which trains are
switching all the time. Teams never
pass there and rarely a pedestrian, ex-
cept when the men pass to and fro to
their work in the -four mills and other
plants in the district. There is so much
noise that one can hardly hear himself
think and the trains constantly passing
shut the place from view most Of the
time.
Bandits Knew Place.
The bandits knew that policeman
did not pass there once a month, that
transients rarely entered the place, that
Charley Bader had large sum of
money about and that the opportunities
for quick and successful getaway
were unsurpassed. A jump thru the
door, dive under some Of the cars all
about the place, and pursuit would be
Of little avail.
Mr.. Bader realized fully what splen-
did opportunity his place offered for
desperadoes, and he took every precau-
ton. The front doors were invariably
closed at pm. and much earlier on
nights when he had considerable money
about. He had no transient trade
whatever, and when his regular pat
rons found the door locked they went
to the side entrance, passed along cor
ridor into another corridor and entered
the barroom, which was also the hotel
office, from the rear He had several
fine revolvers about the place and
thought that he was prepared for any
emergency.
Bader Did Not Hear.
1t is plain that Mr.. Bader did not
hear the robbers command. There was
so much noise about the premises that a
Mr.. Butterfeld, who was in the place
did not even hear the shot. He il
somewhat deaf. it is true, but he can
engage in conversation without much
difficulty. Mr.. Bader was drawing q
glass Of beer for him when the two
masked men entered and peremptorily
ordered faces to the wall.
All obeyed except Butterfeld and
Bader, neither Of whom heard the com
mand. Bader realized that something
| unusual was going on and turned
to inquire what had taken place, wher
