men to throw up their hands, and then
fired shot to scare them. pa
The two men We're taken coinplAgay
by surprise, and when they saw S45th

was fired they lost no time in ol1eyiifAs
the command, Lade searched his viaSs
tins but only succeeded In getting 10s

About seven years ago Lade robbed
man in the hallway of the Atlas block.
The man was q miner and came to
town to cash check. Ladc saw him
In the doorway Of the Atlas block and
drawing a razor, he held the keen blade
to the miners throat and threatened to
cut his head off If he did not hand over
the money. Lade was captured shorty
after the robbery and pleaded guilty to
the charge and was sentenced to 10
years Imprisonment Through good
behavior he got his Copper and was
released about two months ago,
Since his release he worked for a
private family here but was arrested
recently on the charge of attempting to
rob q man in a Commercial street res
taurant He managed to get out of this
trouble and now has got into more
serious scrape. a few days ago the
man was arrested for dra wing q revolv-
Ell on two soldiers but was let go with
the understanding he would leave town.
Shortly before noon today Lade con-
tossed to Detective Sheets that he held
up Jones and Clark last night but de-
MED the other robbery.
