flight four auto bandits armed with
eight revolvers, who early this morn
ing held up the Fairbanks Bakery,

another took $l95 from Murray's
pocket.

had robbed her husband. The rob-
ber's companions pointed their re-
volvers at the courageous woman and
threatened to kill her. She defiedthem
and struggled with the robber she had
seized. Murray jumped into the
scrimmage and one OF the robbers
fired at him. The bullet struck Muir
ray in the foot and his wife released
the bandit she was struggling with
and went to her husbands aid.
The four robbers ran from the
bakery and jumped into the Limousine,
which sped south to 92d Street and
then turned west.
Policeman James McGarr OF the
West Tooth Street Station was at
9th Street when he heard the shot.
He jumped into a taxi and told the
driver to chase the machine. which
he could see starting away from the
curb in front Of the bakery. When
the taxi reached s2d Street and
Broadway. the limousine had disap-
peared.
At the West Tooth Street Police sta
tion. the desk lieutenant declared he

William Cooper Proctor of Cincin-,

which did not get the nomination
for Gen. Leonard Wood in Chicago,
has acquired the reputation of be-
ing the "contented COW" Of the Re-

But the Colonel is waiting to be
"milked" again. and the Republican
Party Of Ohio numbers among Its
leaders several who are planning to
do the milking in the interests of
Senator Harding, although Harding
opposed Wood in the Ohio primaries.

the project is Republican.

ANYTHING.
Col. Proctor believes, according 10
Ohioans who have seen him MIXED,
and occasionally assisted at the oper-
alton, that money will buy anything.
He believed that by the use of money
in an extended publicity campaign he
could SELL Gen. Wood to the Repub-
lican Party just as he sells Ivory soap
and crisco to the public. His friends
say that he can't understand yet how
the scheme ran off the track, but wise
explainers are framing up reasons to
satisfy him, and he Is apparently not
hard to satisfy. which makes him such
an admirable contented COW.
BY birth and environment Col
Proctor has come naturally to the
belief which is entertained by nearly
all men Of his class, that anythinf
