Are Unable to Get Away.
BANK RUNNER IS HELD UP
Package Of Money Taken From Him
at the Philadelphia sub-Treasury
but the Thieves Are Pursued and
Captured and the Funds Recovered.

Philadelphia, Oct. 26.--One Of the
boldest attempts at robbery in this
city in long time occurred during
the day when two men tried to get
away with $4,000 they had seized
from a bank runner in the United
States suktreasury. Both were arrest
ed and all the money was recovered.
The two men had been hanging
around the sub-treasury for several
days and were being watched by pri-
vate bank detectives and sub-treasury
watchmen. After ii a. m. p. j. Gro
min, runner for the Franklin Ma
tional bank, was handed several large
bundles Of money by a paying teller
in the sub-treasury. He placed $4,000
In satchel and walked to a bench
near by with the remainder, amount
ling to $4,000 in 800 bills. He laid
the money on the bench, intending to
open the satchel and place it with the
other money. At the same moment
one of the men being watched, and
who was standing In front OF one Of
the sub-treasury watchmen, raised a
newspaper as Ii he We're looking for
something and obstructed the view OF
the watchman. Then the other
grabbed the $4,000 lying on the bench
and started out the front door. The
bank runner instantly gave chase.
raising an alarm as he did so. The
runner was close to the thief when
the man who held the newspaper
stuck out his foot and tripped him
and tried hard to escape He had only
gone few feet, however, when the
watchman captured him. Others in
the sub-treasury started after the man
with the money. Getting safely out
of the building the robber started west
on Chestnut street, wrapping the $5,-
600 in a newspaper as he ran. His
pursuers gained on him and, seeing
that he could not get away, he threw
the money In hole in the sidewalk
In front of building under construc-
tion. He was captured half block
from the sub-treasury. Both men We're
taken to the Central police station at
the city hall. They gave their names
as G. D. Bates and Charles Watkins
and said they lived In New York.
Bates, who seized the money, carried
loaded revolver.

TIGER GANG HOT
after FLAG

Tacoma won postponed game
from Seattle yesterday by a score
of 10 to 6. Aberdeen is now only
five points ahead of the Tigers.
Starkell is her only well pitcher.
Higginbotham, it is said, has gone
stale, "Dode" Brinker cannot raise
his pitching arm on account of a
sprain and Tonneson is about half
sick. Spokane plays Tacoma this
week and Aberdeen plays Vancou-
yer.
Almost every baseball player in
the league is hoping that Aberdeen
cinches the pennant. Manager
George Shredder, of the Tacoma
club that is giving the leaders
such hard race, is disliked to a
great extent principally on account
of the fact that he Is cheap, hires
a cheap team and treats his men
cheap, as in the case of little
Tommy Downie, who draws $125
a month. Tommy took the fever
a while ago and had to go to bed.
He was out of the game for a
month. During that time Shredder
sold him for $3.50. When Tommy
got well the boss carpenter of the
Tigers locked him his month S
salary and wouldn't give him a
cent of the sale money.

great danger of a comet to the
, earth is in the fact that a large
hydrocarbon comet dashed to earth
would be raised to such heat as to
be vaporized.
The diffusion of the heavy nox1
ious gases would so vitiate the at
mosphere as to render it unfit for
breathing. The result is evident.
Thus might the oceans and hui
man habitations escape unframed,
not even a man be killed by the
comet coming in contact with the
earth, yet with the deadly gases
drifting over the surface of the
earth, enveloping the whole wrold,
all breathing creatures would soon
be suffocated, silenced in death by

The law of chance makes 1t
probable that the earth might be
hit by a comet once in a million
years, but there is no evidence that
such collision ever took place.
1t is more than possible that If
comet should be as heavy as
earth is, the destruction of the
comet and the earth would be
complete, the impact being SO
great as to fuse the bodies and
pass all material into a vaporous
state, thus ending the life of our
