HIGHWAY ROBBERY
NEAR MIAMI CITY

Miami, Feb. 1S.-A bold and cruel
highway robbery took place Friday
afternoon, when Mrs. Grace Howell
was driving to the aviation school
She was met by two men in Ford
car and as they approached they
stopped their machine and asked Mrs.
Howell If she had wrench that thew
could borrow. Mrs. Howell answered
In the affirmative and leaned over to
take the wrench from the tool box,
when one of the men struck her a
stunning blow on the back of the
head. Mrs. Howell fought hard but
the two men soon secured her bag,
which contained her purse, containing
$500 and some small change. Mrs.
Howell lost consciousness and the
men drove away. She was on her
way to the Curtiss Aviation school to
pay the tuition for her son, who was
about to enter the school.
Early in the day Mrs. Howell had
telephoned to the Curtiss school that
she would come out and pay the tut.
ton for her son. 1t is thought that
in some manner the robbers received
the information of the proposed visit.
Mrs. Howell was found by an auto.
ist later, unconscious, and brought to
the hospital. The matter was kept
quiet, hoping that the officers might
secure the men. Mrs Howell de-
scribes the robbers quite accurately.
One was a tall man with red hair.
dressed in dark suit. The other ap-
peared like farmer. Besides being
struck on the head, Mrs. Howell was
choked and gag was placed in her
mouth.
Another bold robbery took place
afternoon when Henry B.
Johnson, a merchant doing business
at 500 Second street was robbed of
$4,000 and tray of watches taken.
Mr.. Johnson had left his store Open
also his safe. and gone out the back
ioor to the washrack of the Florida
East Coast railway When he ne
turned his cash and watches we're
gone, but no trace of the robbers left
behind. Mr.. Johnson was in the hab-
t of doing this almost daily and this
s the first time he has ever missed
from his store. It is
hought that whoever the robber was
le knew of Mr.. Johnson's careless
labit and took advantage of it, The
natter was reported to the police and
sheriff.
