HOLD-UP MEN
PULL OFF $50
CHARLES THOMAS OF THIS
CITY WAS VICTIMIZED AT
LAKEVILLE.
Three Thugs Rifle His Pockets Un-
der Cover of Revolvers-Hap-
pened Saturday Night.

Charles Thomas of this city, was a
victim of three hold-up men at Lake
vile Saturday night, by which he was
relieved OF $50 in cash, and also a
si*er watch, which evidently was
deemed not good enough for the rob-
bers, who discarded. it short dis
tance from the scene OF the robbery.
Thomas says the men were unmasked i
and were strangers to him. but that
he would recognize them if he has
the good fortune to meet them again.
Furthermore, which more strongly
reveals his anxiety for another inter
view with the bold hold-up men, Mr.
Thomas offers a reward of S25 for
the capture of either one OF the trio
which participated in relieving him
of his burden OF filthy lucre.
The robbery occurred one-half mile
north of Lakeville at about 600 Sat-
urday night Thomas had just re-
turned from a few days business
trip ait Cadillac, Mich. He arrived at
Lakevile on the Vandalia at about
SIS o'clock. Wishing TO see a rela-
tive who lived north of that place, he
set out on foot. When he had gone
about half mile north OF Lakeville,
three strangers jumped into the road
in front of him, from behind pile of
brush beside the roadway. Two OF
them thrust revolvers into his face.
and commanded him to throw up his
hands, while the third went through
his pockets While searching him,
the highwaymen bade Thomas keep
his mouth shut or they would drop
him. Thomas says that he took them
at their word, and did not venture
to suggest anything After they had
taken everything that was loose, in
GLIDING $50 in money, the thugs made
off eastward Later, in company with
David Sherman, Thomas found his
watch and pocket book which had
contained his roll of bills, about
three rods from where fae had been
held up.
Thomas says that he had drawn the
money from a Plyomuth bank the
day before he left for Cadillac, but
that mo one knew of his having the
money about him.

Mich, late Friday afternoon, stat
ing that one Jack Kirk, whose father
resided at Plymouth, was wanted at
Hillsdale for horse stealing. The 10
cal sheriff was instructed to arrest
and hold Kirk if seen in this city.
Earlier in tie afternoon Voreis had
noticed the subject of the letter loaf
in about the streets. Accordingly he
set out on a search for Kirk and
found him at the Detwiler livery barn
inMde of half am hour. Kirk had ar
rived in town only few hours be-
fore, this having been his first visit
here for about a month. Kirk ad
mitted that he had stolen the horse
and buggy at Hillsdale, and said tlat
he had sold the outfit at Kendalville,
Ind. He refused however to say for
what amount the outfit was sold for.
Was Always in Trouble
The case of Jack Kirk is a remark
able one, in its way. Even when
small boy Kirk was always getting
into scrapes, and as youth develop
ed the ullieving habit 1t seemed that
horse stealing was his hobby when he
became old enough to pull off haul,
and he was most always caught and
punished for hrs offense. When drunk
Kirk was a dangerous customer, re-
sorting to knives, etc, and he was al
most always drunk. The last time
that he was home he got into fight
with one of the local saloon keepers,
and chased that gentleman about the
streets with cheese knife. He left
town shortly after this, however, and
has not been seen here until yester-
day, when he returned unconsciously
10 face another pemtentiary sentence.
1t is probable that his next term
will be long one because OF the hab-
itualness of his offeuse, and his re-
peated breaking OF paroles.
