The Phillipsburg News, in giving
/ particulars about the robbery Of the
mill there and the wounding OF MI
/ Blauer, an imperfect report Of which
was printed in this paper last week,
prints the following
The chances are everybody in the
county has BY this time heard Of the
bold hold-up at the mill last Wednes-
day evening About o'clock a
/ stranger walked in the office and COW
ering Messrs- Bandit and Blauer with
a revolver, commanded them to throw
up their hands. At first the mill own
ers thought the matter a joke, but
when the man behind the gun said
D you, throw up your hands, they
realized that II was a genuine hOld-up-
After their hands had gone UP the
rObber helped himself to what money
there was in the cash box, and with
the muzzle Of the "A to Bandits head
commenced going through his pockets
Fred BIauer was standing near the
door leading to the elevator, and when
the rObber was searching Mr.. Bandit,
Fred made a jump for the door. He
succeeded in reaching the door, but at
that instant the rObber switched the
gun in his direction and pulled the
trigger the ball taking effect in
Blazers thigh, passing clear through,
though not touching the bone Blauer
ran into the mill and told the en-
plOyes that he had been shot and that
a rObber was holding up the office. As
soon as DO=SLDlE bauer was taken 70
the hosp tai BY one OF the mill hands,
where his wound was dressed and ey-
cry possible attention given him After
shooting Mr. Blauer, the rObber
sprang out Of the south door and dis
appeared. The alarm was given as
soon as Mr.. Bandit could get to the
telephone and a searching party or
ganized. All trains that night were
closely watched, and soma shooting
done at an unknown party who tlIed
Z.
little after noon The fellow who com
mitted the deed vas captured in
cOTnheld east OF Marvin by a posse,
and though frequent threats Of hang
ing were made, he was brought to this
city and given 4 preliminary hearing
before Justice TCOker and bound over
TO district court in the sum Of $4,000,
in default OF which ne was land-d in
Jail.
Mr.. Bandit was with the posse when
the rObber was captured, and as soon
as he saw him was positive of his
identification. The fellow gave his
name as Mike Ryan, and is a tough
looking customer. In conversation
with Mr. Bandit, the rObber admitted
that he was the person the searching
party shot at in the railroad ydrls
here Wednesday night; that he walkei
from here to a point a mile east Of
Dana where he became sick and !ssye1
down to rest. From there he wan
dered across the country to Marvin,
but claimed he did not know how he
got there. Ryan has the appearan e
Of being dope iend, and when
searched a bottle Of the stuff was
found in his pockets, as was also the
gun with which he shot Mr.. Blauer.
Mr.. Bandit informs US that ABOUT
$50 was secured by the robber. There
is not much question but that Ryan
will get a good long term in the peni-
tertiary for the dirsy job. The mil
lers Immediately offered a reward OF
$500 for the apprehS4isiOl tsf he { D.
Der, and Mr.. Bandit told US Monday
morning they stood ready to pay same
as soon as it was decided to whom it
belonged"
