/ so years OF age. who was packing
around roll OF bills sggregating
$3.50. was robbed Of that amount OF

and the two hayward boys are in the
county Jail awaiting trial upon the
charge Of robbery.
II is reported that the boys. to-
gether with their uncle, had been
drinking that night. and after retir-
ing TO bed in a room i'm the Jupe
roOming house, the old gentleman
was taken v-ith nausea. and Andrew
suggested that he go over to Jerry
COffin's restaurant and get a cup OF
black coffee for him That was done.
and the patient dosed into a sleep.
The next and most costly experience
OF the evening, was when he was aW-
aked by a movement Of his pillow.
and his pantalOOuS. in which his
pocketbOOk was kept. was being
drawn from under the pillow where
he had placed them when he retired.
II has not yet developed which one
Of the boys did the touching" act.
but both Of them went down stairs
together with the old man in pursuit
after the stolen money. In the
scramble the only thing he got was
one of the boys caps.

grams in search Of the young culprits-

be stealing a ride at Burlington. and
they were made to pay their fare TO

waiting for Joyce at Seibert asking IL
