MOUNTAIN BANDIT
STILL AT WORK
Two More Idaho Springs Men
Victims of Attempted Rob-
berries on Road Between Here
and Denver; Bandit Is Foiled.

Idaho Springs has been getting
her share of the attempted hold
ups on Lookout mountain, the lat
est being that of DR.. Fred Weber
and W. E. Renshaw.
On Thursday evening about s
O'Clock DR.. Weber was returning
from Denver, and when he. got to
a certain spot on Lookout noun
tain man appeared at the side of
the car and ordered him to stop.
In an instant the doctor had
stepped on her" and away sped
the car from the reach of the rob-
Der. A shot or two followed the
doctors car, hut he didn't wait to
see where the bullets hit. DR..
Weber was speeding about that
time.
| On Friday evening at about the
same time and place, as w. E.
Renshaw. Republican candidate
for state senator, was driving along
on his return from Denver, he
saw suspicious looking man
leaning against big rock. He
was on the lookout and ready for
the man, so he Immediately threw
a strong spot light in the fellows
eyes and ran his car right towards
him In trying to get out of the
way the would-be bandit was un-
4 able to pull his gun, and MIR.
3 Renshaw also applied the gas and
exceeded the speed limit for a few
! miles.
) Idaho Springs people have been
very fortunate in escaping these
robbery attempts SO far. but it may
not always be true. 1t looks as
tho something might be done to
catch this bandit before someone
is seriously hurt. This isn't the
age of the stage holdups, ETC., and
} a careful search would surely lead
to the mans capture. One would
like to have it so he could drive
from here to Denver without fears
of being robbed.
