approximately 100000 in securities,

SHOOTS TWICE At ROBBER

let's After Escaping Thief.


Emil Hickman, night Waterman at
the Edwards & Bradford lumber yards,
fired two shots at a man whom he
found trying to get into c. l.. Laubsch's
hardware store between and o'clock
Sunday morning. Hickman got two
made his getaway down Norfolk av-
enue towards the bridge.
The dim outline of the mans figure
in the black night was all that Heck
man saw No clew to the fellows
identity exists and though he bungled
his attempt at burglary he succeeded
in making a clean escape.
Someone has been proving around
in the vicinity of the Laubsch hard
ware and tinshop on Norfolk avenue
between Second and Third streets for
several nights The night clerk at the
OXnard heard a man one night and
Hickman says he saw the flare of a
match by the back door of the Laubsch
store one evening last week. SO there
was a feeling of expectancy around
the lumber yard and when Hickman
in the early hours of Sunday morning
heard a screen ripped from a window
he drew forth his trusty revolver and
set out to reconnoiter
When Hickman had gained the rear
of the OXnard hotel the sound of fall
ing glass told where a man was trying
to get through one of the side win
dows of the hardware store. With the
fall of glass Hickman yelled Halt
and to put action into his words took
a shot in the direction of the window.
Out of the black of the night mans
figure plunged on to the sidewalk on
Norfolk avenue. When Hickman had
gained the street someone was max
ing short work of the distance between
the store and First street. In front
of the OXnard Hickman took another
flying, shot at the fugitive then near
the Winter store.
