BANDITS HOLD
UP STREET CARS
City is Overrun With Thugs and
Thieves

Spokane, Wash, Nov. L. Desper-
ate thugs were busy in the city last
night, two holding up q Washington
Water Power car near the end Of the
Minnehaha line and another pair later
robbing the conductor Of q Traction
car at the end OF the Corbin park
line. There were no passengers on
either Of the cars.
Two masked men held up an east
bound Washington Water Power car
at the junction Of the Geat Northern
railway near Minnehaha park shortly
before 8 O'Clock, securing about $40
in cash and watch from the conduc-
tor and a watch from the motorman.
The last passenger had dropped Of
only short time previously.
The car had just slowed down for
the crossing when the pair emerged
from the darkness and covered the
car men with their Tevolvers, com.
handing them to throw up their
hAnds. The conductor and motor
man we're both at the front end, the
former having just alighted to flag.
The car men we're completely at the
mercy of the highwaymen and had no
opportunity to offer resistance.
After hastily searching the car men
the robbers backed of quickly into
the darkness, keeping their guns
trained on their victims. As soon as
the car reached the Minnehaha park
terminal E. G. Hubbard. the conduc-
tor, notified the police.
Shortly after IL O'Clock car Of
the Spokane Traction company drew
up at the end of the Corbin Park line
and as the conductor jumped of to
switch his trolley two young men,
masked and carrying revolvers; sud
denly appeared and trained their re-
volvers on him. He was compelled
to give up $15 and a watch. The
motorman, who was in the vestibule
at the front end, was not molested,
although he was commanded not to
move.
Going through the conductors
pockets, the highwaymen obtained all
the money he had and the watch.
The police we're notified by E. Isbell,
the conductor. The description fur
nished was meager.
The meager description Of the rob-
bers furnished the police by the
Washington Water Power car men 10
identical with that given to the police
earlier in the evening of two road
agents by G. NJ. Butler of Orchard

NAVY FITS ITSELF
70 Battle ARMY

Annapolis, Md. Nov. 26-The Naval
Academy football team began its last
week OF practice yesterday afternoon with
a spirit OF determination to correct the
faults that have shown themselves during
the season and perfect the plays which
are relied upon TO secure a victory over
West Point. Notwithstanding the fact
that the army team appears 10 be stron-
ger on its record OF the season. the navy
people are pointing 10 the fact that ex-
actly the same condition existed last sea-
son, yet the game was a great victory for
the navy.
Contrary TO reports, there will be no ad-
ditional coaches this week. In fact, IL is
considered that more coaches would sim
ply mean that the players would be con-
fused by asmultitude of counsellors. 1T Is
now merely case OF working under
Head Coach Reeves with the assistance of
Dashiels and Gates and bringing the
whole work OF the season TO head.

FOR YALE CAPTANCY

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 26-Arthur
Brides OF Brockton, Mass. will probably
be captain OF the Yale football eleven for
next year. Brides is the only member of
the Yale eleven who is coming back next
year who had his Y before the game
against Princeton. He Is an all-round
player and has been called repeatedly the
best player I'm America
On his freshman eleven Brides played
full-back, and when he went on the var
sity his second year was played in the
line. There at guard he stood like a rock
and had place on many all-American
elevens. After the West Point tie for Yale
the coaches put him at end, a position he
played successfully, but from where he
was moved TO give added weight to the
Yale back-field.
Yale loses by graduation the ends,
tackles, quarterbacks and Romer as half
back Prospects were never brighter for a
championship team next year. Hobbs and
Andrus, OF the scrub team, who have
been disqualified from playing all the
