ERNEST FLORA
Is SHOT BY TWO
AUTO BANDITS

This community was aroused last
Monday night at about ll:3O O'Clock
when q number Of shots were fired in
the vicinity of the Ernest Flora resi-
dence in the west part Of Julesburg.
A number of citizens who heard the
shots hurried to the scene and it was
discovered that Ernest Flora, propri-
etor of the Flora pool hall, had been
wounded, having been shot through
the groin by two unknown men. His
condition was found not to be serious
by the doctors who rendered first aid,
although the wound was close to being
Of fatal nature.
The shooting occurred after Mr..
Flora had closed his pool hall and had
gone home. Shortly afteward two
unknown men attempted to steal the
Flora automobile, and while in the act
of getting away with the car, from the
Flora residence, Mr.. Flora discovered
the thieves. and ran out to the car,
which by this time was in the front.
Mr.. Flora states that he told them
they had the wrong car, and one of
the men answered by firing at Flora
point blank. Both men then ran north
with Mr.. Flora following them, At
which time number of shots were
exchanged resulting in Mr.. Flora's
injury.
Soon after the shooting sheriff

the scene and a search for the would

of citizens joining in the man hunt.
Owing to the darkness it was a diff

given up without any results. At the
time we go to press no trace Of them
or clue to their identity has been dis
covered.
Mr.. Flora's condition continues to
improve, and DR.. G. F. Ewing, the at
tending physician, states that he is
recovering nicely from the injury.

MANHATTAN CAFE
STUCK LAST
SUNDAY MORNING

Hands up! This was the command
given to Gust Pappas, night man at
the Manhattan Cafe in Julesburg last
Sunday morning at about four o'clock.
Mr.. Pappas promptly complied with
the request when he looked down the
barrel Of big revolver. Two strang-
ers had walked into the cafe and bold
ly demanded Mr.. Pappas to throw up
his hands while they robbed the mon
sy till of about $4,000. As soon as
the hold-ups had perpetrsted the rob
berry, they quietly and quickly made
their getaway.
The officers were Immediately noti-
fled of the robbery, and thorough
search of the railroad yards and other
localities was made, but no trace of
the fugitives was found. At the time
the robbery was committed there were
two freight trains in the Union Pa
cific yards, and it is surmised that
the hold-ups caught one Of these
trains out of town. The authorities
at North Platte, Sidney, Sterling and
other towns have been notified to be
on the lookout, good description
having been given of the bandits, who
had been in Julesburg several days
before the robbery. Up until the
time we 20 to press the fugitives have
not been apprehended.
At the time Sunday mornings rob-
berry was committed there were sew
eral persons in the kitchen at the Man
haitian and one man at the lunch
counter, but they were not molested.
Mr.. Pappas had about 500 on his
person, but-the bandits contented
themselves with taking the money in
the money drawer.

PUBLIC MENACE

The recent hold-ups, attempted rob-
berries and shooting affair in Julesburg
should be cue to the officers of the
law to make things SO hot for the ho-
boes and undesirables that they will
give Julesburg wide berth. The Un-
ion Pacific yards and even the depot
is regular rendezvous for numerous
hoboes, who figure Julesburg an easy
place to make their headquarters. The
seats and floor at the depot are used
as sleeping quarters, and a day scarce
ly passes but what number of these
transients are seen on the streets of
Julesburg. The local authorities
could do this community no better
service than to see that the hoboes
make themselves scarce around this
neck of the woods.
