He "Needed the Money!
I It was learned today that there have
been several holdups recently that have
not been made public by the police.
The robbery Of Nels Benson was not
given out, nor the robbery Of C. Silk
Of Prospect Park, who was robbed by
the same man who shot at George Hy-
ser. Silk was on his way home when
he was held up. He told the robber
that he was poor and the other replied,
. That IS too bad but one man got away
money! 1.
/ The following night there was still
another robbery in Prospect Park.
80 Boy Captures Copper.
During the search yesterday there
were several amusing incidents but
everyone worked in good faith. Ralph
Wheelock, secretary to Mayor Jones,
asked Arthur Olson, farm boy, TO
search the brush near the scene Of the
hold up. Olson, armed with shot
gun, went into the brush and soona re-
turned with a prisoner. The prisoner
Twas a special policeman who was work
ing out of the fifth precinct station.
He was compelled to hold up his hands
land walk to the nearest policeman.
Other persons out for walk or to see
what was going on met with the same
experience, but all answered the gues-s
lions willingly and then joined in the
i man hunt. ..#-4-s

and those who cannot be found are also
