MASKED BANDIT
HOLDS Up CREW
AT GUNS POINT
Red Line Carmen Robbed al
End of Line, This City-S3S

R0BBER FIRES ONE SHOT
Conductor Hans Cheek Is Powder
surned-Police Trailing
Fugitive.

A masked bandit last night at 10:4O
held up the crew Of Red line car at
Twelfth avenue and Second street, Sc
curing sSS in cash and a watch. Then
firing one shot, which just grazed the
cheek of the conductor, Hans Han, the
robber made his getaway. The police
attribute the job 10 the same man who
made an unsuccessful attempt to hold
up the crew of an Oakdale car in Day
export two nights ago, by placing a
railroad tie across the track.
The car in question. which was in
charge OF Motorman Ben Beam and
Conductor Hans Han, had Just reached
the end Of the line. There is no street
light at this point, and the entire
landscape is shrouded in inky black
ness. Han had just alighted from the
car and pulled off the trolley, pre-
paratory to changing it. The minute
the lights were eXtinguished, the ban
dit, who had a handkerchief tied over
his face, jumped up from his hiding
place behind a picket fence. Showing
the muzzle Of a revolver into Hans
face. he growled, Throw up your
hands quick or I'll shoot"
FIRES ONE SHOT.
The robber then grabbed for the
change receptacle, which was strapped
TO the conductor. and the first yanl
was unsuccessful. 4 stronger pull
broke the fastenings, and then the shot
was fired. 1t is believed that it was
accidental. and that the sudden Earring
OF the cash holder upon the gunhand
caused the shot to be exploded. The
bullet whizzed past Hans cheek, anC
so close was the muzzle, that the con
ductor was badly powder burned. Tn,

Anticipating trouble. Beam tore The
watch from its chain and threw It into

Warning the carmen that any at

over the fence and disappeared. Neigh
bors in that vicinity, aroused by the
shot, soon came rushing to the scene
and in 4 few moments an alarm hac
been turned in to the police. a search
of the surrounding territory, failed
to reveal the fugitive. The robber haC
lain behind the picket fence awaiting
his opportunity, as the police found
the place where the grass had beer
crushed down. There were no passen
gers on board. and this was the thini
the robber had evidently waited for.
He is described as a man about
feet 4 inches in height. He wore
black soft hat.

This unidentified man is supposed
TO have been Ives. The body was
found Thursday and identified by

The accidental drowning theory is
secuted owing to Ives familiarity with
boats and the river, and also from
the fact that he was fully dressed
