Rank Outsiders
Spoil Their Plot

A couple OF rank outsiders spelled a
nicely planned Joke on Robert Cahill, a
Creighton arts college student, Wednes-
day evening. and Cahill was looking for
the perpetrators yesterday with blood in
his eye
Late Wednesday evening Cahili re-
ceived a telephone call asking him to
come to a restaurant at Twenty-fourth
and Cunning and work. AS he has been
working at that place. Cahiii- thought
nothing OF the request. especially when
II was told him that the proprietor was
sick.
In order to reach the place. he was
forced to go through the cut along Twen-
ty-fourth street, leading from California
TO Burt streets. This passage is bounded
on the west by high concrete wall and
on the east by a high clay bank. The
pIotters were safely hid, awaiting Ca
hills coming. when two unknowns ap-
peared. The students explained their
some what doubtful appearance by telling
that a joke was IN progress. The strang-
ers passed on.
Soon Cahill came jauntily along. whist
ling and carefree. He was halted with
a rude shock, however. But IL was by
no means as severe as that received by
the 'holdup'' men when the strangers.
whom they thought at a distance. came
charging back, one of them with drawn
gun. The highwaymen broke and fled,
and Cahfil was saved from a great deal
Of roasting by his fellow students
At present the robbers are keeping In
hiding.
