store to fill the order and was followed
] by the thief.
Near the back of the store the rob
| Der drew revolver and placing il
against Mr.. Simley's breast ordered
him to get behind the prescription
case. The clerk complied and was fol
lowed by the yegg who then ordered
Mr.. Smiley to get down the chloroforn
bottle. This demand was also com
piled with and the burglar then de-
manded a sponge, with the evident in
tention of chloroforming his victim
Mr.. Smiley stated that the sponges
however, were in the front of the
store.
The highwayman had no desire for
the clerk to 60 to the front of the
establishment and he then inquired
for the toilet-but it was evidently
not near enough for his purpose, which
were evidently to lock Mr. Smiley in
it. He then ordered Mr.. Smiley to
turn around and just as he did this
the burglar struck him a terrific blow
in the back of the head, knocking him
to the floor and rendering him I'M
conscious.
Just how long he was unconscious
Mr.. Smiley is unable to state, but re-
gaining consciousness he dazedly
made his way to the hotel lobby where
the clerk called physician and noti-
fed the police.
There was quite an ugly scalp
wound inflicted in Mr.. Simley's head
from which he bled quite freely and
the manner in which the blow was
dealt is an additional evidence that
the thief was an old hand in crime, the
blow being sufficient to render the
victim unconscious without causing a
fatal or very serious wound. 1t is
also evident that the thief desired to
injure his victim only as last re-
sort, it being the belief that he first
intended to chloroform him and then
to lock him in the toilet when no
means of administering the anaesthe-
tic were found available.
After knocking his victim uncons-
cious the yeggman evidently hurried
to the soda fountain cash register
where there was considerable money.
However the only cash taken was the
$50 in bills, all the silver being left in
the drawer. The burglar either ov-
erlooking the large cash register, on
the other side of the room, or was
rushed for time, fearing detection, as
this register was not opened although
there was considerable money in it.
There are no clues as to the guilty
party although the police have been
securing the town for him. There is
only one other incident that may or
may not have been connected with the
avenue couple of blocks west of the
city hall yesterday afternoon. A pc.
destrian along N. P. avenue saw the
crime. This is that the police learned
that a rather small man changed his
clothing in an old shed near N. P.
man changing his clothing but
thought nothing of it until he later
learned that there had been a holdup.
The police secured every box car in
the yards of the railroads and made
a trip to the "jungles" but were I'M
able to round up anyone that ans
wered the description of the man
who held up Mr.. Smiley.
