A lone bandit, unmasked, held up
Dave bucket, proprietor, and Jack
O'Neil, bartender. at the Realm sa-
loon about 10 o'clock last night and
tapped the register for $50. O'Neil
was alone when the rObber first
entered and called for a drink. AS
he set a glass of beer on the bar
he stopped over to rub some beer
off his shoes when he felt prob
in the ribs and looked up into the
muZzle Of revolver. The robber
then made him lay down behind
the bar while he opened the regis
ter.
During this operation bucket en-
tered and he also was held up. Be-
fore departing out the front door
the thug compelled O'Neil to bind
bucket. then bind his own feet.
The police were delayed in reach
ing the scene on account Of misin-
terpreting the name Of the saloon
when O'Neil telephOned. The rob-
Der is described as dark. shah
bily-dressed individual with the ap-
pearance Of having just come in

they don't count.
