CASHIER HELD Up
Four Bandits Flee with
Payroll for Chair Fac
tory Employees.

An i'll wind and four highwaymen
blew down on Benjamin Patterson,
cashier at P. Derby & Co.'S chair fac
tory, 447 Communpaw Avenue, Jersey
City, late yesterday afternoon before
the street lamps had been lighted.
While the wind blinded him with dust
and almost took away his breath, the
bandits dubbed him over the head and
ran away with a saatel containing
81, O0O-the payroll for the factory en-
ployes.
Weak from four gsshes in his scalp,
Patterson crawled thirty feet to the fac
tory Office to report that he had been
robbed within sight of his associates.
Safe in an inside pocket Of his coat
he had the Office payroll of $780,
Just as he has done every Saturday
afternoon for several years, the cashier
went to a New York bank yesterday to
get money for the payroll. To reach his
office he had to walk along a lonely
stretch of Communipaw Avenue, near
the bridge over the Morris Canal.
"A tremendous wind blew down the
street when | was within sight of the
factory" he told Chief Frank Mona
han, Of the Jersey City police. "My
eyes were filed with dust. and had
to turn around to get my breath. Just
then two men jumped out in front Of
me and two more behind me. Down
came the blackjacks, and my satchel
was snatched away"
Officials of P. Derby & Co. notified
the police and had Patterson taken to
the City Hospital. DR.. St. John, who
dressed his wounds, said that the high
wavmen must have used clubs instead
of blackjacks. His injuries were not
serious. however, and he was permitted
to return TO his home In Pompron. y. J.
The Jersey City police notified Lieu
tenant Fogarty at Manhattan Head
quarters last night, to have detectives
on the lookout for three men who were
noticed hanging around saloon near
the scene of the hold-up yesterday al
ternoon. From the saloonkeeper whose
name the police will not disclose, they
obtained an accurate description of the
men.
"Every once in a while one Of them
would step outdoors, look down the
street, and come back mumbllng; !
wonder why he doesn't come = " the
saloonkeeper is said to have told Chief
Monahan. Because the men mad never
been seen in that district before, the
Jersey CITY police think that they came
over from New York to lie in wait for
Patterson.
A squad of detectives was sent out
last night to make round of highway
mems hangouts in search for the men,

GOOD, AND SICKNESS OF DAN
GERoUs NATURE is AT SOME
THING OF A PREMIUM.

Reports for the months Of May and
June were turned in by the city health
officer yesterday, and were filed in

phoid fever and three tubercufar
cases. All other communicable and

filled. -
Speaking of the work of the sani-
tary condition of the city, the health
officer stated that there had been a
total of 5,257 inspections for the
month of June and that out of these
5,107 inspections were reported good.
The physician reported total of
104 calls for the month, some in of
flee and others in other places.
