This is warning to one Charlie Chap

kick in the stomach TO a padded police
man, bury a Ratchet in the policeman s
head and make his getaway, but II We
were in this one Charlie Chaplin place.
we would, in future, be very careful
For this reason:
Five highwaymen held up an autom2-
bile containing something Ike 100000,
lust off one of the citys principal taor-
oughfares. and secured in the nelghbor-
hood of $4,000 of the money.
They shot a special officer after club
bing him over the head, and, before max
ing their getaway, used up enough am
munition TO take Nerdun, a couple Of
times if necessary.
They were able to do this, il seems. be-
cause our well-known and popular cla-
rem and producer of currents, Alexander
Dow, thought it was a moving picture
4 stunt. and because, later, when ne dis
covered it was not a moving picture
stunt, a woman had stalled hey auto ll-
rectly in front of his, preventing Mr..
Dow from getting on the scene In good
time.
At that, those who are best acquainted
with Mr.. Dow, say that if he had beer
able to get TO the bandits, the bandits
would have found themselves up against
about the Invest wire there is around
these parts.
The idea is, however, that everybody
else looking on while this daring piece Of
highwaymanship was being pulled of in
broad daylight, in the city where life is
worth living, and pay roll, have % be
given over at the point of W.n-hes-ers
thought just as Mr. Dow did.

several years. but they came too lcte
for gunners, as under the federal

took advantage OF the mild weather
to visit many streams in quest OF
