ROB and STRIP MEN
At BILLIARD HALL
VICTIMS HAVE TO STAY IN THE
LAVAToRY UNTIL HELP
COMES.

Chicago, Jan. 3.-Thomas Fay and
James DeVury were held up and
robbed in the la~vatory Of a Randolph
street billiard hall by two negroes last
night, and then, at the points of revel-
vers, were forced to disrobe and hand
their clothing to the robbers.
Il guess you won't try to follow us
now" said n of the robbers as he
threw the clothing out Of a third floor
window. Taking two watches and $50
in money, the negroes escaped.
Fay and Devury stood shivering in
the cold lavatory for several minutes
before their shouts for assistance were
heard by men playing billiards in the
adjoining hall.
Devury is an operator in the employ
Of a private detective agency and had
two revolvers in his clothing when the
holdup men forced him to strip.
1t was ladies' night at the billiard
hall and bowling alley, and the pres
ence of a number of women aided the
robbers in escaping, as the modesty OF
the victims Of the robbery prevented
pursuit.

The beans in question are strange to
this country, but in Jamaica the scien-
lists who do not know any better than
to use long names. call them canaveleta.
The natives who are closer in touch with
important things like standard fairies
call them the over-top bean, the reason
for the name being that they grow faster
than anything else in the world.
