MISS GRACE SAKE X
VICTIM OF THIEF
Thief Grabs Purse From Member Of
Sunday Party.
Contained $40 in Cash, SIS in
Checks and Other Papers.

Des Moines, Dec. miss Grace
Sake, of the Sunday party, last night
when she with three other ladies
was walking to the tabernacle, felt
a tug at her hand bag, then a vio-
lent jerk which left but the leather
handle in her hand. She turned
quickly to see the bag, which con-
tanned about $40 in cash, several
checks amounting to about SIS, and
papers which are of even greater
value, disappear in the darkness in
the hand of a burly man carrying
an umbrella, with which he screen
ed his face.
Miss Sake believes that the man
was a negro, however, as she caught
a momentary glimpse Of his face as
he jerked the bag apart. At the
first tug, she thought someone had
come up from behind to play joke
on her and not until Miss DeJarnet-
te screamed and Miss Core and Mrs.
Asher, the others of the group
clutched her in fright, did she re-
alize that she was the victim of a
holdup man. She held on to the han
die of the bag with all her strength,
but the violent wrench that follow
ed tore the handle loose, enabling
the thief to dart up the alley flank
ing the Y. M. c. A. The assault oc-
Cured just as the ladies had turned
the corner at the alley leading to
the tabernacle from Fourth street,
behind the Brown garage.
Miss SAKE Immediately phoned to
the police. This is the second time
within the past year that Miss SAKE
has been the victim of robber. The
house occupied by the Sunday party
at Colorado was entered, and the
room shared by Miss Sake and Miss
Jones was ransacked. On this occa-
sion both ladies lost a considerable
amount of money and articles of
value.
