HARVEY LINE CAR HELD UP
l.. S. LemIey Relieved of Little over
.. Twenty Dollars of COM
pany Money.

Two young men held up and robbed the
conductor and motorman of Harvey street
car at Sixth and Center streets few min
utes after midnight Sunday morning. The
robbers carried revolvers and wore white
handkerchiefs over their faces to hide their
features. They secured 5000 from the con-
ductor. The car reached the terminus of
the line at u :05 a. m, and was due to leave
on the return trip at 1910. The motorman.
+. Carmichael, 211 South Twentieth street.
had stepped to the street, while the con-
ductor l.. s. Lemley. 2610 Rees street, re-
manned inside the car. Suddenly Carmichael
was confronted by the two robbers, and
quietly asked to throw up his hands. He
was kept covered while one OF them went
to the rear door of the car and raped.
Lemley opened the door and was met with
the point OF gun and the request to hand
over the company's money.
1--WE don't want any of your money or
your watch" said the robber Just give
us what belongs to the company"
Lemley emptied his pockets of fares,
amounting in all to 5000. He had IS bill
of his own in another pocket but this he
was not required to give up. AS soon as
the robbers secured the money they made a
hasty departure toward the south, and dis
appeared In the darkness As soon as they
were out OF sight Carmichael and Lemley
FASTENED to the home OF Patrolman Otto
Lickert, who lives near by al 1706 South
Sixth street, and told the story of the
holdup. Ilckert, however. was unable TO
find any trace of the two men. and notified
the station. and officers were Immediately
dispatched to the scene with the description
of the men furnished by the car crew. They
appeared to be young hardly more than
boys, and 1t is believed they may be resi-
dents Of the neighborhood and were well
aware that interference on the part OF
chance passengers at that time OF the morn
ing would be very unlikely
There were no witnesses TO the holdup
other than those engaged in II. A member
OF the Durant FIRE department arrived a
mitted and while the crew had gone 20 the
house Of onicer Lickert He had been In
attendance at the departments dance at
Washington hall during the evening with n
young woman. and had just escorted her
home and was waiting for the car to come
along a few blocks north. The car being
long in coming, he started 10 meet II, and
when he was told the story of the holdup
By the crew he was glad that he had not
arrived earlier, and. pehaps, also fallen a
victim to the robbers.
The work was carried out deliberately
and without a hitch. the whole affair occu-
plying but two or three minutes No trace
OF the perpetrators had been discovered at
an early hour this morning and the police
Officers were still on the hunt.

PREPARE TO FIGHT
 ALCOHOL TRUST
EVIDENCE SAID TO BE HAD TO SHOW THAT. PRICE ON DENA- TURED PRODUCT IS THREE TIMES TOO HIGH.

Baltimore, October 21-Large buyers of alcohol, distillers and others interested, are preparing to fight, by apepal to the department of justice at Washington and by congressional action, if necessary, the recently formed distillers securities cor poration, and the high price which 1t is charged that incorporation intends to maintain for denatured alcohol.
 William Cotton, an attorney, who has the matter in charge. says he represents distillers, handlers and others intereste in alcohol in this and several other north- ern and southern states. MT. Cotton states that his clients have collected evidence to be submitted to the federal authorities that will show conclusiyely the existence of an agreement among those identified with the distillers' securities corporation under which the price of alcohol is ar bitrarily and unlawfully fixed. and that under that agreement the price has been advanced to a figure almost three times as great as the price at which alcohol could be bought shortly after the disso- lution of the so-called whisky trust.
 While the names of those back of the movement are withheld. they are said to be people of means and position. who will push their fight to the limit.

SALT LAKE SWEPT

Biu Fire and Winds of Cyclonic Sever ity Have Wrought Enormous
 Damage.

Salt Lake, Utah, October 21.-For the last twenty-four hours this city and vi- cinity has been swept by a wind storm of unparalleled severity. In addition to three serious accidents to persons, prop erty over wide area has been devas- tated and a fire, famed by the wind has obliterated the new plant of the Utah Pecking company causing a loss of about s25O,oO0. During the full period of the storm trains have arrived irregularly.
 For much of the time the street car ser- vice has been at a standstill and the cleo trc lighting plants are out of commis- sion. Ruined buildings, fallen chimneys, broken windows, loosened signs and top pied trees throughout this and adjoining towns are the most common souvenirs of the storm, and form in the aggregate an immense source of loss. The wind att tained a maximum velocity of fiftytwo miles an hour at o'clock Saturday night and and 6 o'clock Sunday morning. For hours afterward it maintained an aver age of thirty-eight miles an hour. A number of persons here sustained injuries from falling trees and short-circuited wires.
