Bandits Pull Spark
 Plugs After Robbery

SAN DIEGO, Aug. lone Of the boldest holdups in the history of San Diego was perpetrated shortly after midnight last night, when two masked men held up an automobile in which Attorney Rusk Mossholder and Mrs. Bobby Ray, of Montana. were riding, a mile east of Tent City, on the Coronado strand. Mrs. Ray reported the loss of neck monds, worth $1O,00O, and Moss holder of his watch and $25 in cur rency.
 After the holdup men had strip ped their victims of all valuables they lifted the hood of the auto and removed three spark plugs. Moss holder plugged the holes and drove his machine into Tent City on one cylinder and then reported the rcb- bery to the police. The surrounding country was combed by a posse of detectives, but no clue that woulc lead to the apprehension of the high waymen was found. It is believed the men escaped across the border in a high-powered auto, which was concealed in the brush a few rods from the scene of the noldup. Moss holder is prominent in political aud social circles here.
