THREE ROBBERIES
IN A NIGHT.

OAKLAND, Sept 1.-Three hold ups
were reported to the police last night
and this morning. and officers are now
the footpads, who become bolder with
each success. Walter Grabdick, resid-
ing at 1167A Alice street, was stopped
near his home and robbed of a gold
watch and fob and a small sum of
money.
Another victim was C. W. Cook of
1926 Linden street. who was held up al
Sixteenth and Market streets. Cook,
when held up, shouted for help. despite
the order of the footpad to be silent,
and a Sixteenth-s car coming into
sight at the same time frightened the
highwayman, who ran without waiting
to search the pockets of his victim.
II is believed that Cook was held up
by the same man who robbed Grab
dick, as ne answers the description.
c. Carlson. a tailor, residing at All
TWeaty-siXth street, was the third man
TO fall q victim, being held up and
robbed on the sidewalk directly in

minutes after midnight, shortly
after Cook was held up. Carl
son was just about to enter the gate
OF his own home when man stepped
from the shadow of a telephone pole,
and thrusting a revolver into his face,
commanded him to throw UP his hands.
Carlson obeyed and was relieved of a
considerable sum of money and some
jewelry. The footpad escaped on q
