SATURDAY. MAY %,

She said he had been in trouble in
Denver before
Cohen's father claims his son is
not bad boy aud has never been
in trouble before. The boy would
not say anything about the rob
berry and claims to be innocent.
Edward is the son of D. j.
Sayer of this city, and was senior
in our high school. He was very
efficient student and advanced rap
idly in his studies. About five
years ago he fell from swing and
struck the ground violently, rem
dering him unconscious for num-
Der of hours. About three years
ago he fell from his b;cyle and was
unconscious for twenty-four hours.
1t is thought these mishaps M. y
have affected his mind and N y
account for his recent peculiar ac-
tons. There was no apparent
reason for his committing crime
such as he is charged with, as his
father had provided him with ample
funds.
His father was informed of the
shooting of his son about ten
O'Clock this morning by friend
in Denver. He left at once with
Earl Faulhaver.
The sympathy of the entire
community is extended to the
family. His mother and hire g
sisters are visiting in California.

EDWARD SAYER
is SHOT BY
PATROLMEN
Son of a Prominent and Highly
Respected Resident of This
City Caught in the Act of
Burglarizing a Drug Store in
Denver: Condition Serious

Edward Keating Sayer of this
CITY was shot thru the right groin,
and it is thought the bullet pierced
the stomach, while attempting to
escape from the police in Denver
when caught robbing the l.. K
Newbern drug store, at Twelfth
avenue and Madison street, last
night.
Edward left here several days
ago for a visit in Denver Last
night he and his alleged accom-
plice, Alvin Cohen, of 525 Gilpin
street, attempted to rob the store,
Mrs. o. E Bush, residing at l2O5
Madison street, was attracted by
the noise caused by the attempt to
forcibly enter the place and called
the police.
Two patrolmen at the Capitol
hill station answered the summons
promptly and arrived in the riot
car before the young men could es-
cape. Both the youthful burglars
attempted hasty exit by way of
the back entrance. They were
followed in their fight down the
alley by the officers, who ordered
them to stop. Paying no attention
to the warning given, the patrol
men opened fire on them and shot
young Sayer. He was taken to the
county hospital at once AT l
O'Clock this afternoon he was rest
ing easily and the physicians at
the hospital think an operation
will not be necessary. His accom-
pIice, who is only 16 years old, was
taken to the city Jail.
In Sayer's pocket was found
letter and the following list OF
drug store supplies: Pomade, razor
blades, ,talcum powder, tooth brush
ss. nail brushes, matted milk, cold
cream, glycerine, Nujol, tooth paste
and shoe polish. The letter was
signed "Helen," and was sent from
744 Race street. Mrs R. E Chat
fee. who lives at that number, said
her 'daug hter, Helen, had met Ed.
when the two attended the Aaron
Cove high school and had ex-
changed letters during that time.

has the most inviting appearance.
Give your wife a vacation and
