the cash drawer He picked up a mass
of checks which had been cashed dur
ing the evening and threw them on the
floor.
Now Shell Out. All of You
AS the bandit finished his work of
footing the cash drawer Of the saloon
he turned to the crowd of frightened
men facing the wall. Now you shell
out, all of you'll he called out, as he
started down the line, ffisking the
pockets of every man. The bandits
We're evidently looking for cash money
and they paid no attention to anything
else that they happened to see on the
men. The fellow was a fast worker,
according to The stories of the men
held up. He went at it just like as
if he had been accustomed to doing it
all day long, said one Of them. He
seemed to be able to locate just where
the money pockets were and he went
straight for those pockets. He pulled
out checks and pocketbooks and threw
them on the floor. The fellow was ter
ribly profane and cursed all the time
he was robbing US. He seemed to be
disappointed at the amount he was
getting and evidently had expected a
bigger haul.

''Throw up your hands, Face the
wall and keep your hands upi !" was
the command which rung out clear to
the fifteen men who were in the L. S.
Kimball saloon at 1913 Newell street,
just few minutes before closing time
Friday night and fifteen men with all
the speed that they could show under
the circumstances held up their hands,
turned their faces toward the east and
the wall and stood in this position
while two bandits, flourishing big re-
volvers and concealing their faces be-
hind handkerchief masks, tapped the
till Of the saloon and emptied the peck
cts Of the patrons In just three min
utes the work Of robbery was com.
pleted and the armed masked bandits
left the place with some $500 in cash
and they had left the men sufficiently
frightened to give them chance to
get away.
No Fighting Blood Shown.
There was no fighting blood shown
on the part of the fifteen men or the
bartender Of the saloon and the bandits
got away with the robbery, one of the
biggest reported in Kenosha in SOME
time without firing shot or without
showing force in any way. The report
of the robbery was made to the police
within two minutes after the first of
the stickup victims had considered it
safe to remove his hands from the air
was sent out to look for suspects but
they found no one in the neighborhood
Of the saloons. The robbers scorned
hundreds of dollars worth of checks
which were in the cash drawer Of the
saloon and left them scattered about
the floor back of the bar. They also
seorned checks of considerable value
found in the pockets Of the sixteen
victims Of the holdup.
Real Wild West style,
Proprietor L. S. Kimball was not at
the saloon at the time of the robbery
and the place was in charge of Edward
Veigel, the bartender. Business was
not very rushing in th place and
ycigel was getting ready to close up
for the night. The fifteen patrons Of
the place we're sitting about the saloon
talking when the door opened and the
two men stepped in Both were masked
and the handkerchiefs completely hid
their faces. Throw up your hands
and line up!" one of the men shouted
and he brought his revolver into sight
and covered the men in the room. The

they did not know just how to act. but
they got their hands up in short order.

Of the second bandit and there was an
Instant compliance.
Bartender Next in Line.
Now you just open that till and
get out from behind the bar and join
the rest of the menln was the order
given to the bartender and he hurried
TO comply. As veigel came back from
behind the bar, one Of the holdup men
took his place at the cash register
while the other one stood in front Of
the crowd of frightened men and kept
his revolver playing up and down the
line to make certain that none Of them
were cheating. In short order the
bandit behind the bar took $685. from

Goes to Prison With Money.

Carlson went up for his life term with
money in his pocket. He had thirty
four dollars when he was brought back
from Florida and he had used up about
ten dollars and Chief O Hare turned the
other tWenty-four dollars over to him
late Monday afternoon. Even in
prison it s a good thing to have little
money" was the comment Of Carlson as
he pocketed the roll Of bills turned
over by the chief. May be I'll have
trouble spending it, but if I can t spend
It I viii always have a nest egg. May
be they will put it out at interest
and my heirs viii get a fortune some
time, he said as he smiled back at
the chief.

There was no lack of caution in hand

but the sheriff kept his own council and
no one knew just when the start would
be made for Waupun until a few
minutes before the closed automobile
pulled away from the sheriff 's resi-
dence. Carlson was sleeping soundly
when he was summoned just after one
O'Clock and told to be ready in half an
hour. He did not go alone. George
I'll. Gertz, who was sentenced to term
of two years by Judge Quinlan on Mon
day afternoon, was member of the
party. Gertz was handcuffed to Mer-
chant Police Officer William Smith
when the party left for Racine. Two
other deputies were walking along with
the party and every man was armed to
be ready for any emergency.
Feared Attempt to Free Prisoners.
There is no denying the fact that the
sheriff and his aids feared an attempt
to free the prisoners and for this rea-
son the trip to Racine was made instead
of putting the men aboard the train at
the Kenosha station. There was no
especial reason for this fear beyond the
fact that Carlson was known to have
friends who were desperate criminals
and it was thought possible that an
effort might be made to stage a rescue.
Carlson appeared to be in the best of
spirits when he Left the Jail and he was
profuse in his thanks to eve-y one for
the treatment he had received here.
Carlson had lot of conferences on
Monday afternoon. He was entertain
ing. He talked with every one who
dropped in to say goodbye to him. He
spent nearly an hour talking to the
chief of police, but. in his conversation
he gave out few new facts in regard to
the crime and he gave out nothing
which would aid the police officers in
the search for Loveday or Murtha.

Leave Victims With Hands Up.

When the last man had been stripped
of his cash, the two bandits backed to-
ward the door, keeping their victims
fully covered by the revolvers. Now
you fellows keep your hands up until
we get away and don t you try to fol-
low US or we will shoot the first man
we see, was the parting shot of one
of the bandits, as they slipped out. of
the door. There was no noise of a
starting automobile and it is believed
that the men came to the saloon on
foot and possibly had an automobile
waiting for them some distance from
the saloon.
The descriptions given of the bandits
were not very helpful to the police
The whole thing was done with such
speed that even the bartender did not
get a good look at the men. One of
the victims said that they appeared to
be men about 20 years of age. One
had an overcoat on and the other wore
a heavy coat and sweater One wore
a hat and the other cap, but the
faces of both were so completely hid
den behind masks that it was impossi-
BILE to see them.

Money to Pay workmen's Checks.

Proprietor Kimball explained this
morning that the money secured by the
bandits had been taken to the saloon
on account of the fact that it was pay
day at two of the big west side fac
tories and many of the men had been
accustomed to get their checks cashed
at the saloon. There was revolver in
the saloon for the protection Of the
funds but the bartender was covered
so quickly by the masked men that he
had no chance to use his gun and it
lay back Of the bar in easy reach Of
the bandits
There had been considerably
larger sum Of money at the place, ;"
said Kimball this morning, but I had
taken some Of it home with me be-
cause there was not a great many peo-
pie around last NIGHT. -
