HOLDS UP STUDENTS AT UNI
vERsiTY
Young Men Pursue Thief and Call
a Policeman, but He Es-
capes with Their
Money

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-A masked burglar
held UP two muscular students early
yesterday morning in fraternity house
at Evanston and got away with S4I.so'
He was pursued by the students, one of
whom was armed with a baseball bat, the
other with long shears, but he eluded
them.
Later the chase was taken up by six
policemen on bicycles. This precipitated
an all-day man hunt. Several times the
bold robber was said to be cornered and
1t was not until midnight last night that
the effort to find him was abandoned
1t was the Beta Theta Pi fraternity
house at 1704 Chicago avenue that was
raided and there was a general feeling
of amazement that burglar should have
the temerity to invade students quarters,
within the shadow of the university
building.
Parke Brown, who happened to be out
late at his work, returned to the frater-
nifty house at 2 o'clock in the morning.
He had scarcely entered when tall man,
wearing a brown cloth as mask, stepped
into the room and said:
Hold up your hands. want your
money
II have only a few dollars" said
Brown.
well, I'm broke, ana / must have it."
was the intruder's reply.
He kept creaping nearer to the student,
and drew a slungshot, with which he
menaced him. Then Brown produced all
the money he had, $17 in bills and $3.50 In
silver.
That's all i have, and If you worked
hard for money you'd know what l am
losing" said Brown.
what sort of place is this?' asked the
burglar.
"a fraternity house where students live
who work during the summer that they
may attend the university"
"Then you may have the silver" said
the man as he decamped, taking with
him only the bills.
Telling Brown he would get shot II he
left his room or gave the alarm, the
burglar entered the room of ]. r. Sho-
walter, from whom he took $3.50. From
the room of William M. Springer, who
was not at home, SIS was taken. The
robber also searched the clothes of r. T.
Bickell and James H. Brown, but missed
SIS in the coat pocket of the latter, who
is an Alaska miner.
While the burglar was going through
the house Brown tried to climb out of
the window. but could not raise 1t. 1t

one of the principal prosecutors of the
state of Idaho at the recent trial Of VIII
liam ID. Haywood, secretary of the West
ern Federation of Miners, will be placed
on trial tomorrow morning in the United
States circuit court here charged with
conspiracy to defraud the government out
of title to 1880 acres Of Idaho timber
land.
Twelve other persons have been indicted
with Senator Borah, but he Will be tho
first to face the federal Jury, having de-
manded trial prior to the time he shall
present his credentials as a senator next
December in Washington. Other OF the
defendants have interposed demurrers,
pleas of abatement and other technicali-
ties. MANY of which charge District At
torney Ruick with using Illegal methods.
The interest is intense in this section
of the country, owing to the prominence
of all concerned in the alleged conspiracy.
One co-defendant with Senator Borah Is
Frank Martin, attorney general of Idaho
under Ex-Governor Frank Steunenberg,
who was assassinated by Harry Orch

Another defendant is John Doe" said
to represent Governor Steunenberg him

part of the conspiracy are many of the
most prominent business and professional
men of Boise. In some instances, five
members of a family, including wives and
daughters, are involved.

The government claims that the group
of men who operated in Idaho were one OF
three groups who operated in the west and
whose prosecutions have aroused such
widespread interest during the last two
years.
While it is not to be denied that ''The
Barber Lumber company has secured
possession of the timber lands involved,
il will be claimed that Senator Borah,
acting as counsel for the lumber company,
had no part in the conspiracy if one ex-
listed, and that he dealt only with the
transfer of the claims after their purchase
had been negotiated in legal manner.
William Sweet, one of the thirteen in
dieted men, is said to have turned states
evidence and is also reported in some
quarters to have repudiated his confession.
The reputation story is also denied.

Point by Patrols
man

Charged with carrying concealed weap-
ons, Antoine Marceas was arrested by
Patrolman Brown on Utah street yester-
day morning, and is now held at the CEN
trail station.
Marceas is thought by the police to
have some knowledge of recent hold
ups, as he was found hiding behind a
billboard, evidently awaiting some per-
son to pass his way
Brown was patrolling his beat at the
time. He came up back of the billboard
and saw Marceas' form. The patrolman
approached and ordered Marceas to throw
up his hands. Mareeas turned and saw
the officer. Drawing a heavy revolver
from his pocket, the Mexican sprang
back as II to escape.
Halt or I'll shootv cried Brown. aud
Marceas dropped his weapon to his side
and obeyed the command.
When questioned at the police station
he refused TO give any information about
himself, and none of the Mexicans who
were called in were able to identify him
It is thought by the police the man may
have recently come to Los Angeles and
that he is wanted in other cities.

yesterday her exact attitude toWaro
her husband to whom she still clings
notwithstanding the trouble that he
has brought to her. She asserted thai
he was in every way worthy of wo-
mans affection, and she excuses his
recent actions by saying that he mus'
have been temporarily insane.
Mrs Runyan and her mother, Mrs
Carney, called at. the Tombs on Satur-
day and said good-by to the prisonel
Just before he was taken away to be-
gin his sentence. What occurred there
and what arrangements for the future
were discussed Mrs Runyan declines
to say She was emphatic yesterday
however. in her statement that she
had been in daily communication with
her husband since his arrest, declar-
ing that the published stories that she
had relented and agreed to forgive
him only at the last moment were un-
true.
Runyan Heard from Wife Daily
There has not been a day since my
husbands arrest that he has not re-
ceived some word from me-" said Mrs.
Runyan. II have not been able to go
to see him before for the reason that

ing seven years. She declined. to
answer at first saying that the pub
lie could not be interested in her af-
fairs, but finally admitted:
81 shall be obliged to seek employ
ment to support myself. / am only
anxious that the notoriety attached to
this affair should end, and that our
name may be forgotten by the public
1t is no interest of theirs, and only
ask for obscurity."
Says Husband Was Best of Men
Then, as a sob escaped her tightly
drawn lips, she said:
do you know that Mr.. Runyan was
the best of men? During our entire
married life he was the most perfect
husband that woman could be
blessed with. Until this thing came I
never knew a moments unhappiness.
He was the kindest or men and the
most upright.
"As to plans for the future, it will
be time enough to think of them later.
Yes, of course, my husband realizes
that he has erred and he intends to
start afresh in life when he is released
from Jail. And I shall be waiting to
help him when he will need me most.
1t will be my duty as his wife,"
1t has been said that since Runyan's
arrest his wife has been obliged to
accept aid from her mother and
brother, with whom she is living at
present, in the home formerly occu-
pied by her husband and herself, at
320 West One Hundred and Eleventh
street. She is determined to support
herself in the future, but whether
or not she has found employment as
