One OF the greatest hold-ups that
has occurred in this city in years, was
pulled off on Aaron Johnson, aged As

in Flosinzier's saloon on Michigan
street Saturday night. Johnson who
was drunk at the time was relieved
of S242s1, which he had drawn from
a local bank that afternoon. John
Zeijers was attending bar on Satur>
day evening. During the evening
Johnson with a number of others,
was drinking in Flosinzier's saloon.
On that afternoon he had drawn the
money from a bank intending TO pay
some debts which he owed. Late in
the evening he discovered that he
had been touched Johnson imme-
diately swore out warrants for the
arrest of William Schroeder and
Clarence Glass, whom he declared

that he talked to during the evening.
Both of these have bad records Glass
has served three years in the state
pe-iitentiary anu Schroeder is local
OF aracter.
The arrest of Schroeder was ac-
complished at the fair grounds SUM-
day afternoon when he was attend
ing the ball game. He had only IS
in money on his person. A clew as
to the whereabouts of Glass was OBJ.
tanned by the authorities and Con-
stable Miles went to South Bend
Monday noon where he located and
arrested Glass in few minutes.
The preliminary hearing of Clar-
ence Glass and VIM. Schroeder,
charged with robbing Aaron John
son of s242.s1 was held in Justice
Kinks Office Tuesday morning The
evidence introduced against them by
Otis Kiebert, partner in the crime,
who SEEKS to turr states evidence,
was found sufficient by Justice Kirk
who bound the alleged robbers over
10 circuit court and fixed their bond
at $500 apiece Bond was at once
furnished for Clarence Glass by his
father Jol:n Glass.
Otis D. Kiebert witness for the
state, testified that he was in the sa-
loon owned by John Flosinzier on
Michigan street on the evening OF
Saturday August l Among a crowd
of men present who were drinking
were Aaron Johnson, VIM. Schroed-
er and Clarence Glass Johnson had
been buying most of the drinks, and
had become intoxicated During the
evening he had pulled large roll OF
bills and a number of gold pieces
from his pockets, and displayed them
to the crowd. 1t was noticed in which
pocket Johnson replaced the money
Later in the evening Johnson took
off his coat, and gave it to friend
by the name Of Peterson to hold
Kiebert later saw the coat laying on
the floor at one side of the room
near a chair. William Schroeder
then walked over to the chair, sneak
ingly picked up the coat, rified the
pockets, and brought out the money
which johnson had displayed Schroe-
der then started out of the saloon and
said, Come on" TO Glass and Kie-
bert, who followed him from the sa-
loon The three men then proceeded
TO the Washington school house yard
where Schroeder handed Kiebert {
twenty dollar gold piece and gave
Glass twenty, and some paper mon
ey. Glass left the others at rhe
school, saying he was going home
Kiebert and Schroeder came back Ut
town
Kiebert evidently is involved in
the case as deeply as Glass. but in
tends turning states evidence A:
there is hot much other evidence
against the alleged robbers, he viii
: probably be accepted.
The case will be tried in all prob
abilities, during the September term
