CLERK IN N.P|STOL
DUEL WITH THIEF
to Loot Safe of 0ptician
Thrilling, But Yeggman
Escapes.

An attempt to loot the safe in the
shop of Frank Edmonds. optician. in
the Southern Building, Fifteenth and
II streets northwest. was frustrated
early this morning by the sudden
appearance of one OF the clerks en-
ployed in the store. After an ex-
change of several shots. the robber
escaped in the corridor OF the build
ing and disappeared:
Joseph r. Harrison, 1850 Conduit
road, a clerk at the store. entered
the shop shortly after 1 o'clock this
morning to wait for a late car to his
home as he had just missed one. On
entering the shop he saw man bend
ing over the safe. The burglar, on
discovering Harrison suddenly rose
and fred two shots at the clerk and
then dashed into the repair room of
the shop.
Harrison carefully made his way
to a desk drawer where he secured
revolver and returned the fire. In
the stiffness that followed. Harrison
heard a man running down the hall
of the Southern Building from the
rear door of the Edmonds shop.
Police headquarters was notified
and Detectives Scrivener and Kelley
and several policemen from the First
Precinct hurried to the scene. Upon
investigating they found the burg
lars tools and his hat, a new derby,
lying in front OF the safe. From the
condition of the safe, the yeggman
had apparently just started to work
over 1t when Harrison appeared.
After cursory investigation at the
shop, the detectives discontinued the
search when their efforts proved flu
tile in obtaining any clue to his
whereabouts.
