TWO MASKED MEN ENTER A SALOON
During Business Hours, Overpower Barkeeper
and Another Man, Rob the Barkeeper and
the Cash Register and Then Escape.
Over $1OO and Fine Revolver Sc
cured A Nervy Piece of Busi-
ness Robbers Still at Large.

The man working behind the
bar having completed his work at
the till and having appropriated the
revolver laying on the counter be-
hind the bar, Joined his pal. Counts
was then ordered to step into the
wine room and stay until his myster-
ious visitors had made their getaway.
Counts gracefully respected this or
der.
The men then disappeared out the
side door. They had done their work
in few minutes time.
Mr.. Counts states that he left the
wine room and rushed to the counter
behind the bar to get his revolver
with the intention of following up
the robbers. But the revolver was
ish bulldog make. and Mr.. Counts bad
owned it for fifteen years, it was in
excellent condition.
From the cash register. which is of
modern size and make. a $40 and a
50. bill and large amount of sill
Nti Il 6lttiA VI
nickles and dimes, had been taken by
the men. Not cent was left. 1t is
estimated that there was about $51
in the cash register
Mr. Counts states that he had in
his pockets $50 bank note. a 81
bank note and one dollar in silver,
all of which he was relieved of by
the holdups. consequently he is the
loser by $50. The men secured in all
not less than $1OS. and the revolver.
Counts stated that the man who
entered. the side door and covered
him with revolver was of small stat
ure, wore a black suit of clothes and
slouch hat. The gun he had was a
big one. looking like a A Colts.
Counts did not get good look at the
man who robbed the register as he
was made to face the wall, as this
men entered but Wardner says that
this fellow was of large stature, was
in his shirt sleeves with a vest on.
The shirt was a white one with blue
or black dots. He wore a slouch hat
The faces of the men were not clear
ly seen owing to the half mask made
by the handkerchiefs. Both were
white.
1t is said that two men answering
the description of the holdups, sat on
the curbing front of the saloon for a
long time during the evening. Evi-
deity they so arranged that
IL, h. 90
loon and the street was quiet they
quietly entered and deftly did their
work. Mr.. Counts says that the lit
tie man locked the back door be-
hind him as he entered and it re-
mained locked until the two men
went out.
1t was a daring piece of work for
there We're people at the depot and
the chances for some one entering the
saloon at any moment were great.
The holdups took a long chance but
luck favored them.
Many believe that the same men
who robbed the Feldmeier and Moore
Hardware store and took number
of revolvers the night before perpe-
trated this hold up. 1t seems that
when one robbery occurs in Grand
Junction several more follow i'm
mediately. There have been numer-
GUS hard looking characters in town
the last day or two.
1t is to be hoped that the officers
will succeed in running down the
thieves that did the work last night
and the night before.
The Pacific saloon was broken into
two or three months ago and a small
amount of booty secured.

city.

afternoon.
The daily sentinel., 1906-08-24

One of the boldest and most sue
cessful holdups that has occurred in
the city in many years was perpetrat-
ed last night at the Pacific saloon
on South second street near the de.
pot, and the two men who performed
the work left the saloon with over
500 for the piece Of criminal work
that required only few moments
time. The robbers made good their
escape and up to this time they are
still at large.
The details of the holdup were
secured from Levi Counts, the bar
keeper, who has been employed at
the Pacific for a long time and who
has been a resident of Grand juno
tion for many years, and from Ben
Wardner. horsetrainer. who was in
the saloon at the time of the holdup.
About eleven o'clock there was no
one in the saloon but Counts and
some water from the floor to the rear
end of the bar into the back room of
the saloon which is connected with
the front room by large arch. Ward
ner was sitting by table in the rear
room in a half drunken stupor.
Counts was busily engaged in sweep
ing the floor and had reached the
middle of the floor of the rear room
when the screen at the side door OF
the building opening on Pitkin ave-
n small man with the lower part of
his face hidden with a big handker-
chief and with a big revolver in his
hand. He covered Mr.. Counts as he
entered the door and ordered him TO
throw up his hands Counts obeyed
the command bat retained the broom
in his hands. holding it above his
head. Drop that BROOM" yelled the
unwelcomed visitor and Counts lost
no time in dropping the broom. He
was then ordered to turn his face to
the wall of one of the wine rooms
opening into the back room of the sa-
Loom Still holding up his hands
Counts did as he was ordered.
While this scene was being enacted
another man had entered the front
door of the saloon. He was man
of powerful build and had the lower
part of his face hidden by a hand
kerchief. He quickly moved behind
the bar to the cash register, rang
up keys, go" and "65" opening the
drawer without any trouble and help
ed himself to the cash contents.
While he was at work his pal who
had charge of Counts went through
the latter's pockets and relieved him
of what money he had. He started
to take Counts watch which is quite
valuable time piece but suddenly
changing his mind and acting upon
an exceedingly generous impulse for
one who was having things all his
way said, NO. won't take your
watch" and left it in its place to Mr.
Counts satisfaction.
While Counts was standing with
his face to the wall "Old Ben" Ward
ner, the horsetrainer, had aroused
himself but was Immediately cover
ed by the little holdup's gun and
told to keep his seat. He was order
ed to hold up his hands but being just
drunk enough to be pretty careless
"Old Ben" refused, saying 81 won't
hold up my hands for no man" The
hold up evidently realized that the
horsetrainer was too full to give
any trouble did not insist further
He asked Ben If he had any money.
the latter replied that he had not ana
the robber took his word. and Ben
was not further disturbed.

PAVING FOR wALLA WALLA.
Council Clashes Over the Kind of Paw
ing to BE Used.

The Walla Walla Statesman gives
the following account of the paving
discussion now going on IN the city
council of that city:
The city council at its adjourned
session last night, took another step
toward increasing the street paving
districts, when four ordinances were
passed creating local improvement
districts No. 20, No. 21, No. 22 and
No. %. The material to be used will
be Warren's bitulithic or asphalt.
Councilman Glasford tried to have
all other kinds of paving material
eliminated except bitulithic, but was
unsuccessful, the majority of the
council being in favor of receiving
bids on asphalt as well. The ordi-
nance as originally prepared called for
bitulithic, asphalt or vitrified brick.
After the first ordinance had been
read the second time and was about
to go to its third reading, Glasford
moved that all reference to any kind
of material except bitulithic be strick-
EN- out In advocating the motion he
said that the people desired no other
paving than bitulithic, and it was use
less for the council TO ask for bids on
any other material
Mayor Hunt took issue with Glas-
ford and advised the council to pass
an ordinance that would permit of
competitive bids, which he believed
would save the council trouble in the
future.

Hyomci Scientific Treatment for Ca

telligent people who could appreciate

Many leading physicians indorse
Hyomei and prescribe It for catarrhal
| troubles. In fact, quite a few of them
use 1t themselves to break up a cold

1t as a natural, yet scientific way Of
| curing catarrh.
Breathed through the pocket inha-
Ter that comes with every outfit, Hyo-
mel destroys all catarrhal germs in
the air-passages of the throat and
nose, soothes and heals the irritated
mucous membrane and effectually
drives from the system all traces of
catarrhal poison.
No one should confound Hyomei
with the patent medicines that are
advertised as catarrh cures. 1t is as
superior to them all as the diamond

The following interesting account of

The following interesting account OF
the Gould transcontinental railway
lines is given by the Denver Post.
The Gould roads are being pushed
from both the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts and the conjunction of the
lines will be accomplished within a
year or so. The Post says:
That Denver will soon be on a
transcontinental line of railway is
now certain. George ]. Gould has
almost completed his transcontinen-
tai line on the east by constructing
the Keser tunnel on the 65-mile line
of the Wabash between Cherry Run
and Cumberland, Md.
1t is on the spur that unites the
Western Maryland and the Western
Virginia Central the outlet of the
Wabash from Pittsburg to the east.
The way is now clear for the Western
Maryland to Baltimore and the At
lantic seaboard, to reach which has
cost Mr.. Gould $4,000. 900 and pro-
voked long fight with the Penn
sylvania railway.
The march to the Pacific continues.
The Western Pacific is being rushed
and within is months the transconti-
mental line, of which Denver will be
the geographical center, will be COM
pleted. The Western Pacific is build
ing from Salt Lake to San Francisco
1t has been hard fight for Mr.
Gould. When the great wealth of the
Pennsylvania and allied lines on the
east and the wonderful Z. II, Harri-
man on the west the Gould Intsrests
have had as hard a battle as railway
men can experience.
The battle on the eastern end be-
gan in 1900, when Mr., Gould purchas-
sd lhe XeeliDs & Lake Erie win
one terminus at Jewett, O., and the
other at Toledo. As it is about 60
miles from Jewett to Pittsburg ho
laid plans to enter the latter city.
The Pennsylvania openly opposed him
and 1t was not until after n three
years fight in the city council that
ne received a franchise to onerate
the line in Pittshurg. In the mean
time the West Virginia Central and
the Western Maryland were ACQUIRED,
and with the completion of the Cherry
nun link his enormous undertaking
is about finished.
FOR five years Hartman has been
Fighting Gould on the west and is now
engaged in trying to keep him from
securing terminals at Oakland. Cal
Ihere was strenuous fight between
the interests for possession of Beck
WIN pass over which pass the West
ern Pacific will reach the coast. After
much trouble Mr. Gould secured pos
session of the pass. The fight on the
western end is not finished by any
means but 1t seem0 certain that Mr..

Washington, Feb. 15.-Ever since
the civil war men in public life have
prided themselves, wnen otherwise
their physiognomy was painfully plain
in resembling Abraham Lincoln. Just
now there are three men in congress
that lay rival claims to being the only
real. genuine replica of Lincoln and
their various friends never let an op.
portunity pass to press their leaders
merits.
Representative Cushman, of Wash
ington, said to be the homeliest man
on the floor of the house, is now sail
ing under the nickname of "The Abe
Lincoln of the Pacific" while Speak
er Cannon and Senator Cullom, both
from Lincoln's state, are Cushman's
worthy contestants.
No one thought so much about
Cushman resembling Lincoln when
the Washingtonian came to the house.
In fact, few people in the capital
thought much of anything about the
new member, as is nearly always the
case when the "kid" member arrives.
but one day Cushman made them sit
up and take notice. He made a speech
that set the country giggling. Cush-
man was in the limelight Then it
was that he was No. 1 Lincoln; that
is Lincoln when he was smooth-faced.
The next time Cushman let loose his
wit in the house, everyone acknowl-
edged they had always thought he
looked like Lincoln.
Speaker Cannon has almost enough
renown from his position to satisfy
his vanity. The speakership was the
goal of his life. He is quite modest
