UNCLE ASA is SCARED
At EFFORTS TO ROB
Atlanta Has Another Biz
TaIkabOO

Atlanta, Ga, March PA myste-
rious attempt has been made to rob
Asa G. Gambler of valuable papers, the
contents of which are unknown 10
the public. Mr.. Gambler, much agitat-
ed, is refusing to give out any infor-
nation to the newspapers, but certain
facts are known.
An unknown stranger, night before
last, hired a messenger boy, of the A,
D. T., in uniform, Abe Jones by name,
to go to the Gambler residence and
ask for a package.
The boy was not told what was in
the package, and was given no further
instructions, except that after he re-
ceived it he was to bring it to GER
tain wagon yard in Courtland street
It is presumed that in the mean
time the man, representing himself
to be somebody else, had phoned the
Gambler residence that the messenger
was on the way.
According to the remainder of the
story, which has yet not been fully
corroborated by T. Gambler. the boy
vent to the door and was given a
package Ia dummy by M. Gambler.
The boy says Mr.. Gambler and
another big man, supposed to be
VIM. Nye, an employe of the Cand-
Ter interests, but formerly a secret
service man, jumped into an automo-
bile and followed him, oyertaking and
forcing him to enter the car with
them
Then. with the instructions of the
boy, they tried to locate the stranger,
but up to this time, it is understood
they have failed
The whole affair is shrouded in my
stery, and hundreds of different YER
sions of the story are being told here.
