SIX SHOOTER SAVES
BARBER FROM DEATH.
Highwayman Stops Traveller and De-
mands to See Money-Is Shown
Some Blue Hardware.

A good siX-shooter was all that
saved J. L. Ewing, a barber whose
place Of bushes is on North Hob
man street from being robbed of a
watch and about $40 in money.
Mr. Ewing was on the way to see
a friend of his, L. c. Kogler, who is
encamped on the Little Calumet
river near Black Oak, and drove over
from Hammond in one of Undertake
er Stewards rigs
When he had reached the place
where the Nickel Plate and the In
diana Harbor railroads cross the
road, almost at the end Of his des-
tination, he was accosted by six
men
Two of them asked him for a ride
and when he refused them one of
the man grabbed his horse by the
bride and another demanded that he
throw up his hands.
Mr.. Ewing was equal to the occa-
sion and reaching in his hip pocket
he pulled a revolver and told the
man who was holding his horse to let
At the same time ne slappetaoi
go or he would shoot. At the same
time he slapped the horse with the
reins and it ierked away from the
Egrasp Of the man who was holding it.
The men seemed rather surprised
at Mr.. Ewing's show Of fight and al
lowed him to pass on without fur
Their molestation. He went on to
Black Oak and about O'Clock in the
evening was compelled to pass the
same spot on his return, but the
would-be holdups had evidently left
the locality.
In commenting on the affair Mr.
Ewing said that his hair stood or
end, as the men were tough looking
customers, but the gun saved him
He says the bushes along the roat
are filled with tough loafers and
that mans life is hardly safe ii
that locality after dark.
