PRESENCE OF MIND OF DRIVER
FRUsTRATES HoLDUP PLAN.
Two Women Passengers Were In tho
Car on Their Way to
Wayzata. .-<

Minneapolis A futile attempt
to hold up taxicab driven by Emile
Dobbleman, 1912 Stevens avenue, and
containing two women passengers on
their way to Wayzata, was made by
four men near Taylor's saloon on
Nineteenth avenue north. They fred
four shots after the taxi as it sped by
them, piercing one of the side lights,
but injuring no one. Sheriff Langum
and two of his deputies are searching
for the men.
After Dobbleman had left Taylor's
saloon behind he noticed four men
ahead OF him walking in the same d.
rection. They acted strangely and the
chauffeur, suspecting they were up to
something, threw his clutch into the
high gear and passed the quartet with
great speed. They shouted at him to
stop, but Dobbleman ignored the COM
mand. He noticed one of them had a
shining object in his hand and no
sooner was he by than he heard four
reports and the whistling of bullets
around him. One of the bullets passed
through one of the sidelights.
The driver continued to Wayzata,
and from there telephoned the police.
The sheriff and his men Immediately
started out over the same road, but
were unable to locate the highwaymen
They continued their search until
early morning.
Dobbleman has his stand outside
the Dyckman hotel.

PLEADS FOR MERCY.
Three-Year-old Hawiey Boy Remains
With Judge While Sentence
Is Pronounced.

Mankato.-P. J. Hawley has pleaded
guilty to the charge of attempting to
commit grand larceny, and received
an indeterminate sentence to Still
water prison. The charge is based on
the allegation that Hawley attempted
to persuade Carl Otto Of North Man
kato to indorse draft for $500 on
bank at Texarkana, Ark, in which he
had no funds.
After coming to Mankato last fall,
Hawley became engaged to daughter
OF Mr.. Otto within a week, and told
afterwards that he did it in order to
try to get her father to indorse draft.
He then had wife and child in the
city. The wife was arrested on a
charge of passing a worthless check,
but has been released on her promise
that she will go to Minneapolis and
take employment in charge of Rev.
James Parsons of the Home for the
Friendless. Hawley is one Of the two
prisoners who ten days ago broke iail
and was apprehended at st. Cloud
when he went there to join his wife.
A touching scene occurred in court
Tuesday, while Hawley was making q
plea for leniency. His 3.year.old boy
toddled to Judge Pau and began to
talk with him, and stayed there while
sentence was pronounced on his f.
Their. 1t was with some difficulty that
the judge was able to control his feel
ings.
John McKloskey, who broke Jail
with Hawley, returned to Mankato and
was apprehended and locked up again.
He said he had intended to give him.

Just what differences exist between

though, that about six months ago
Rev. Mr.. Ekeland received the first
OF several threatening letters. It told
him to move away from the commun-

everything he possessed. He paid lit.
tie attention to the warning: in fact,
it did not lessen his determination to
remain in Lake Shore as pastor of the
Minnesota Valley United Lutheran
church.

A second and third letter quickly
followed. These; too, were read and
torn up. A short while ago Rev. Mr..
Ekeland's family left for Norway on
visit. Soon after their departure he
received another letter. It was more
malicious than the others. Not only
was his property in danger, but his
life as well. Last Friday he went into
his barn to find his team of horses and
cow missing. The ropes had been
cut. A new harness was lying on the
barn floor, slashed in many pieces.
Rev. Mr.. Ekeland found the animals
soon afterwards in a nearby pasture.
The sheriff and others are confid.

was said tonight that an arrest prob
