AND INJURIES HOUSEWIFE
Police Are Searching for Man Who

Trying to Steal Auto
mobile

Two Of her teeth knocked out, her
hair pulled and her face severely
beaten, Mrs. w. II. Thompson, wife of a
rancher living on San Fernando road,
near Burbank, about o'clock yester-
day afternoon was held up in her own
home, bound, gagged and pummeled by
an armed robber, and locked in a
clothes closet, where she was COM
PEELED to remain, helpless, until her
son Earl returned from school, when,
after considerable labor, he effected
her release only by removing the door
from it's hinges.
1t was one of the most daring and
brutal hold-ups in the crime annals
of the county, and as result OF her
narrowing experience Mrs Thompson
last night was almost prostrated
Shortly after his attack on Mrs
Thompson, the bandit attempted to
steal an automobile belonging to the
engineer of a nearby pumping station,
but was frustrated, and when last seen
was hurrying toward the river bed
evidently headed for Los Angeles.
The robber entered the Thompson
house while Mrs. Thompson was in the
barn. Returning from the rear yard,
she observed the front door of the
house open and, knowing she had left
Mrs Thompson s first thought was
that her son might have returned home
early, and not finding him, she be-
came uneasy and intuidvely took the
precaution to hide her money in the
cupboard.
The robber evidently was watching
her when she did this, although she
did not see him.
Bandit Attacks Her
Dismissing her fears, Mrs. Thompson
went into the front room and took
up a book She then lay on the
lounge to read, but had scarcely
opened the book when she heard
step. Thinking it was her son, she
called out to him, but received no an
swer. She was about to arise and in
vestigate, when the bandit stepped
suddenly from his hiding place and
sprang upon her.
Clutching her with his left hand,
the bandit beat her over the head, and
as she tried to escape struck her with
his fist repeatedly in the face. one
of his blows knocked out two of her
teeth.
Still failing to subdue her, the robber
grabbed her by the hair and pulled her
about the room until her screams
alarmed him and as she grappled with
the fellow in a desperate attempt to
escape he beat her to the floor and
bound and gagged her
Tying her hands and feet, the ban
dit dragged her into a closet and locked
her in. He then placed the key in his
pocket, took the money-about $50
from its hiding place in the cupboard,
and left the house.
Her hands tied behind her, a rag

Cigar Factory.

M. P. Silva has rented the old Mattley
butcher shop for cigar factory. He
has moved his stock therein, and has
started in business. He has been in
business in Chico, and from that town
moved to Jackson. The valley county
did not agree with his wife's health,
and that was the reason for his leaving
that section. He was formerly in the
same business in lone, He is the manu-
facIurer of the well-known El-ko, which
commands a ready sale in the market.
He has already more orders than he
can fill, and no doubt he will build up a
thriving trade in his line. He is an ex-
pert in this business. His wife will
follow him here in few days.
