Two Men Scared Away by Women's
Screams.

While returning from the Knights

were the victims of an attempted
holdup about 10 o'clock Tuesday even
ing at Fifth and Quincy street.
The two women were walking down
East Fifth street when two white men
stepped in front of them and ordered
them to stop. Both women screamed.
Their screams reached the ears of
George thinner WHO had left the wOm-
en- only a few minutes before.
The screams of the women also
caused the two wouldbe ho1dups to
hesitate. When Mr.. thinner, attracted
by the calls for help, came in sight of
the women and men the men ran
south to Sixth street and then west to
the Avenue.
Owing to the timely arrival of Mr..
thinner the women were unlnJured
and nothing was taken from them.
According to the description given
the police by Mrs. thinner this morn
ing, one of the men was about five feet
and nine inches in height and wore a
dark suit, black derby. was smooth
faced, weighed about $50 pounds. The
other man was described as being
short and stocky and wore a dark suit
and light cap. He was smooth faced.
The affair was not reported to the
police until O'clock this morning. The
police were not on the scene at the
time of the attempted holdup.

Huerta abdicated that he be permitted

from official reports that Villas fol-
lowers were in control of the conven-
ton and could rely on support from
Zapata SO that the answer of the con-
vention will be tantamount to a reply
from the Villa-Zapata coalition.

SHARPLESS CHECK
CASE Is SETTLED
Judge Returns Verdict i'm Favor of
Citizens National Bank on
Check of $3.50.

A verdict Tor the defendant the
Citizens National bank, was handed
down by Judge Vernon w. Van Fleet
in the superior court yesterday after
noon in the suit of DR. j. II. Ellis
against that institution for $42.50.
The case was argued between the two
parties, the facts being agreed upon
by the two sides.
The two parties agreed on the facts
in the case but wanted the Judge to
apply the law and 10 fix which party
should bear the loss. The facts as re-
cited are as follows: Dr. Ellis mailed
a check for $3.50 last July 10 a Mrs
Jennie Sharpless. living on Franklin
place, but by mistake he addresses the
envelope to a Mrs. J. Sharplcss, Frank
lin ST.
The postoffice department finally
delivered the letter TO Mrs. Abbie
Sharpless on Glover ST. This second
Mrs SharplesS is married 10 a Joseph
Sharpless. making her initial Mrs J.
Sharpless. She cashed the check as
Mrs J. Sharpless. The plaintiff claims
that the bank was negligent in not
identifying the person caShing the
check further while the defense claims
that the negligence was the fault of
the sender in not putting the proper
address on the envelope.
