STOPPED THE CHECK
Kenosha Automobile Driver Ar
rested at Glencoe Stops
Payment of Check
CLAIMS GAME is A H0LD.UP

1t is probable that one Kenosha
automobile driver at least has found
way to bump the bumps at Glencoe
without any extensive loss of money.
This auto driver, whose name has not
been given to the public, has circum-
vented the work of the justice at
Glencoe by stopping the check which
was given in payment for a fine as
sessed against him when he was
charged with violating the laws in
regard to running autos through
Glencoe.
The Kenosha man was arrested a
week ago, and when taken before the
justice he protested that he had not
violated the law, but protests were
without avail, and he was convicted
as charged by the evidence of a
couple of Glencoe officers, and or
dered to pay fine Of SIS and the
costs of the action. The fine and
costs amounted to about $50, and the
unfortunate autoist gave the magis-
trate a check for the money. He then
returned to Kenosha, and when the
check was presented for payment a
few days later the magistrate dis
covered that payment on the check
had been stopped. The town officials
of Glencoe have raised great storm
in regard to the stopping of the check
and they are threatening all sorts of
actions if the money is not forth
coming. The Kenosha man holds
that the game at Glencoe is a ho1d-up
scheme, and that he is simply payin.-
the magistrate of the town in Lind.
The question is knotty one for
attorneys, and they are divided as o
the right of the Kenosha man to stop
the payment on the check. 1t is pos
sible that the fine will be paid and
that the case will be appealed to some
higher court. Automobile drivers are
united in the statement that the work
Of the officers at Glencoe is pure
ho1d-up, and that this plan has been
adopted to pay the expenses of the
village and at the same time to fur
nish a splendid salary to lot Of Off
GERS who crowd the road to capture
the automobile men.
Developments in the case will be
watched with interest by owners o !
autos in all parts of the country.

HELD UP AND ROBBED
E. N. Robbins, a Railway Man,
Has Rough Treatment From
q Hold Up Gang
UNCONSCIOUS FIVE HOURS

Report has been made to the police
that E. NJ. Robbins, a man employed
by the Chicago and North Western
Railway company at the new tracks
west of the city, was held up and rob-
bed near Anderson park at 10 O'Clock
last Saturday night and he has report
ed the loss of gold watch and $40 in
money. According to the story told
by Robbins the robbery was commit
ted by three men who slugged him
and went through his pockets. AS
Robbins was rendered unconscious by
blow on the back of the head he was
unable to give a description of the
men who robbed him.
Robbins had gone to the park for a
little recreation Saturday evening
and as he was planning to walk to
the railway camps three miles west of
the city he started for home just be-
fore 10 O'Clock. He was perfectly
sober when he left the park. Just as
he reached the edge of the park he
saw three men standing in front of
him but paid little attention to them,
more than to note that one of the men
was tall while the other two were
short. Just as he passed the men he
was struck on the back of the head
with some instrument. The men drag
ged the unconscious form of Robbins
over into the bushes and robbed him
of everything of value he had.
Robbins claimed that he remained
unconscious until nearly O'Clock in
the morning and when he awoke he
had such pain in his head that he
wandered about for several hours be-
fore going to his boarding place. AS
an evidence that the story is true
Robbins showed to the police a great
wound on the back of his neck which
is just beginning to heal. He also
showed the ring of his watch which
is still fastened to the leather guard.
The police have no clue to the per-
pertrators of the outrage but it is
thought to be another job of the old
gang that has been loafng around
Kenosha for some time and every eff
fort will be made to track them down
and punish them. Robbins is not
thought to be seriously injured but he
has not been able to work since the as
Sault.

SEVERAL collisions between bicycles
have taken place recently at the
northwest corner of the park, caused
by riders from the east coming up on
the wrong side of the street. The
shrubbery is so dense and high that
it is impossible to see any one ap-
preaching from either direction, and
some one is going to be hurt at this
turn pretty soon unless riders and
drivers observe the rules of the road
and keep on their own side of the
street when coming up to the corner.

NEXT SUNDAYS PLAY

"The Heart of Chicago" Lincoln
]. Carter's stirring me1odrama of Chi
cago life will be on at the Rhode neEt
Sunday night. This play hardly needs
an introduction to the theatre goer as
everyone who has ever frequented a
theatre knows the lines on which the
piece is based. The story is thrill
ing one, well told and c1everly con-
nected and never fails to arouse the
greatest enthusiasm. Besides the
sumptnous scenic equipment which
this attraction carries is one of the
best casts that has been seen in the
play since the beginning of its career
twelve years ago. The light side OF
the entertainment is taken care of in
the introduction of several high class
vaudeville acts which have been seen
il the leading houses the east.
