BANDITS BLACK CAR" FOUND.
Half-Submerged Taxicab Discovered
in River Near Chicago.

CHICAGO. December IA half-sub-
merged taxicab was found by the police
today in Wolf river, a stream south of
Chicago. 1t Is thought to be the black
car" used by automobile bandits last
night in the robbery of four South Side
stores and restaurants, in one of which
they shot down Charles Sherman, the
sixty-year-old proprietor, who defended
his cash drawer with bread knife and
drove off the robbers. Sherman was
shot through the right lung as the rob-
bers ran, but today he is considered to
have a fair chance of recovery.
The thieves in the black car had
robbed restaurant proprietor before
they shot Sherman and after leaving him
apparently fatally wounded they robbed
two other places before abandoning the
car, according to the police theory. The
taXicab was stolen from a livery COM
pany here.
