CLUB SALOON
WAS ROBBED

by Aasksd Man Who Caniep
Away Several Hundred Dollars

The Silver State has been having lots
laid down" and everything seemed to
to wrong and is yet, for that matter. we
have sent to San Francisco .or a man
to put the machine in order and hope 10
get things pulled together" in a few
days. The account of the higgins rob-
berry was .'ditched'' with other matter.
But on the theory OF better late than
never we give the particulars today.
A man dressed in a corduroy coat. A
light hat, with a dirty white handher-
chief tied over his face for a MASK,
walked into J. d. higgins Club saiooon.
at the corner of Bridge and Second
street, Monday morning at 4 o'clock and
as soon as he was inside the door he
commanded al to hold up their hands
and presented a murderous looking gun
to give more force to his command. lie
walked from the front door to about
midawy of the room. where, at a table,
sat four men playing slough" They
were Jewett Randolph. Joe Bankofea, the
barkeeper; j.. Puebla, and Mr. York. he
lined the players up alongside the north
wall. together with three or four other
men who were in the saloon, and robbed
the table of what money was on it, about
so. After which ne demanded of the
barkeeper the key to the drawer behind
the bar. where the faro money was lock-
edup. Bankoffer informed him that he
did not have the key. The bold robber
then went behind the bar. opened the
cash register and relieved it of $50. He
then put the muzzle of his pistol close
to the lock of the drawer containing the
faro money and fired, blowing the lock
off. He took from tha drawed two
sacks of money containing about $500.
Mr.. higgins does not know TO a cent
how much was in the ~rawer, but gives
1t as his opinion that there was about
$500. While this was going on ]. Puepla
saw that the roeoer was not paying as
strict attention to the men lined up as
ne might be. He ducked his head and
started Off the back door, along a mar
row passage between tie south anvil am
the lunch counter. The robber saw that
Puebla intend to give the alarm and sent
a bullet alter him, the bullet grazed the
south wall of the building and buried
~itselfinthe door frame, about the height
of Puebla's head. Puebla kept right on
and came up town, but found no one
street at so early an hour in the morning
The whole transaction only took about
five minutes and the fellow backed TO
the front door anu made his escape. MIR.
higgins, the proprietor of the saloon.
was at home and in bed at the time.
but ate once informed 0 fthe robbery.
1t was one of the boldest holdups ever
recorded in Nevada. 1t must have been
done by some one familiar with the
saloon and one who knew just where lne
money was kept. The fellow did not at
tempt to go through the pockets of any
one in the saloon. Had he done SO he
would nave made an additional cleanup
of two or three hundred dollars.
