THREE WOMEN
HAY THIEF
SAVE THEIR VALUABLEs AFTER
DESPERATE BATTLE
Prominent Society Girls Waylaid by
Crook Beat Him In the Face
Until He Is Forcsd
to Flee

In desperate battle with crook at
Third street and Grand avenue last night
Miss Frances Croft, daughter of Judge
Lewis A. Croft. assisted by Miss Louise
Gilman and Miss Catherine Ebert, not
only vanquished him but recovered their
property which he had just stolen.
The young ladies' were on their way
from the theater to their apartments
in the Hotel Minnewaska at Second and
Grand avenue.
AS they turned the corner at Third
street a man stepped from the shadow
of the building and snatched the pocket
books and hand bags of Miss Croft and
Miss Ebert.
With the property in his possession he
turned to run south on Grand avenue,
but Miss Croft sprang after him and
calling to the other young women to
help her seized the fellow by the coat
collar and dragged him back.
Rain Blows on Face
The man fought desperately, but all
three OF the young women pluckily bat
tied with him and several well directed
blows from their fists caught him in
the face and probably left marks by
which he may be identified.
The man fought and tugged to escape
but they held on until MISS Grom nad
secured her own and Miss Ebert's hand
bag, after which they let him go and
turning ran toward the Minnewaska, but
q block away.
In the meantime the cries of the young
women had been heard and several men
ran to their rescue, but blythe time they
got to the scene the fellow had disap-
pared in the darkness.
According to Miss Croft the man was
Young and well dressed He was smooth
shaven and had dark hair.
Bravery Is Commended
Other than this description they could
not give. as it was in the dark and they
had no opportunity to secure a. good view
of him.
The pluck of the young women in fight
ing their assailant and recovering their
property was marveled at around the
police station last night and they were
highly complimented on their bravery py
their friends at the hotel.
A. e. Wilder. who resides on soutn
Grand avenue and had been visiting
friends on Bunker Hill avenue was on
his way home but short time before
the young women were attacked by the
footpad and noticed man lurking In
the shadow as he passed. The Fellow
ealuted wilder with Hello, pard. give
a fellow a match. won't your? wider
replied that he had no matches and hur-
ried away, looking for an officer to re-
mort the matter, but saw none on mis-
uav home. He Is oil the opinion that
the man who accosted him Is the same
who attacked Miss Groff and her COM
nanions. but he could add nothing to the
description given by them
