 ROBBERY ROLE
Hold Up Another and Take His Money Away and Will Likely Land in the Reform School as Result of Prank

Two bold highwaymen are in the city jail pending an Investigation bv the police One is Savio Castellanos. The other is Ramon Ruiz Each has been in the tolls before, particularly Castellanos. who is a particularly an- moving offender. They held up Roy Heyne and stole $250 from him. the crime being committed in an alley not far from Washington street, in the evening about a week ago.
 Castellanos and Ruiz are each about eleven years old Their victim is perhaps twelve years of age. They enticed him to enter the alley by telling him there was a man there When they got him out of the whirl of business, they proceeded to drag him down. pummel him and then take his money. They have made them selves scarce since that time until yesterday when they were picked up at different times by Policeman Behny. They will likely be sent to the reform school, at least the police believe that this should be done in the case of Ruiz whom they have endeavored to bring to a realization of his ways for several years.
 Ruiz first came into the limelight during the first year of Chief of Po- lice Moore's administrat ton at the head of the police department He was scarcely six years old then but he burglarizedb the Phoenix Cyclery which stood upon the present site of the Valley bank. On other occasions he was found in the commission of petty crimes and once he was ar- rested with Castellanos for stealing a quantity of sacks from. the Phoenix Flour Mills. This offense is likely to land him where he will be taken care of Both boys are pupils at the Grant school
