way Eberhart oCal company's office
at Vance avenue and the Southern rail-

timated to have been $53 Keeping
the men covered with his pistol, the

into waiting automobile and sped
away.
Efforts TO read the numbers OF the
auto were futile as they had been
blurred. Mr.. Latta at once reported
the robbery to the police station and
officers were dispatched to the scene.
The bandit took the cash from the
cash drawer only, not taking time to
rob the other men. Mr. I4atta, who
had just returned from making collec-
lions. carried about 800 in his pockets.
Besides Mr.. Rogers and Mr., Latta,
three other men were In the office The
bandit walked In and ordered a ton Of
coal giving his name as r. T.. Elliott
and his address as 322 South Orleans
street. He rendered a S. bill in pay
ment and when change was being
made, said; "Ill just take it all"
With that he showed a pistol at Mr.
Rogers and compelled him to hand
over the contents of the cash drawer
Mr.. Rogers signaled to one OF the
men to head the bandit Off but this
idea did not appeal to the bystander
and the visitor was given unmolested
egress to the street.

taken flight, followed for several blocks
but was soon outdistanced,
