MIDDAY ROBBERY
AT NAVAL STATION
Negro Youth Holds Up Chero Cola
Salesman and Gets Away With
Nearly Thirty Dollars.

| One of the boldest robberies record
/ ed in some time was committed out
on the United States government res
ervation yesterday shortly before noon
/ when a negro youth by the name Of
Lee Hammond held up w. IT. Carson
a Chero salesman, and at the
point Of a gun forced him to give over
$3.50 in cash, and then made his get
away
Mr.. Carson had made his regular
trip out to the station with a truck
load of drinks and had sold practically
everything he had and was on his way
back to town on the Murray road
within sight of the main entrance to
the naval station. when Hammond
stepped out in the road and threw his
gun on him and the negro helper with
him, and ordered that they throw up
their hands Evidently the request was
not complied with just to suit the
negro so he is alleged to have fired
twice off-side but directed the third
shot straight at the driver.
However, the bullet struck one of
the posts that supports the top to the
truck, and saved the driver from be-
ing wounded and probably killed. After
this Carson alighted and according to
the story told yesterday. emptied all
the cash he had taken in on the
ground. and after being ordered to do
so by the negro, walked up the road
some distance. The negro took the
money from the ground and made a
hasty retreat.
According to officers there were sew
eral eye-witnesses to this act, which
is considered to be one of the boldest
hold-ups ever staged here.
The negro's mother operates a cold
drink stand on the reservation and
while the salesman was supplying her
wants, It is said that the negro saw
the roll of money and later staged the
hold-up
Captain Staten, chief of police at
the station, Immediately took charge
OF the case and had warrant sworn
out for the negro. and stationed SEN
tries at each bridge on the roads lead
ing from the station in an effort to
apprehend him, but until late hour
last night he had not been caught
However, it is expected that the negro
will be caught in due time and will be
forced to appear in the federal court
on whatever charge is preferred
against him. The act having been
committed on the reservation Will make
it necessary that the case be dealt with
by the United States court.

P. H. S. GIRLS HAVE
SPLENDID QUINTET
Determined to Take Game Monday
from the State College Students.

"oh, when the P. II. s. girls fall in
line, they going to win that game an
other time" This Is the sentiment of
the high school rooters for they be-
lieve their girls have the best basket
ball team in the state, and are just go
ing to show these former high school
stars, now at the state college down
Tallahassee way" that the team this
year is further advanced in knowledge
of the game, that they can shoot, pass,
drfbble and do everything else that
goes to make UP the great indoor game
better than the highly touted stars
from Pensy who starred in the odd
even games on Thanksgiving day when
they meet on the Armory court Mon
day afternoon at 3:15.
This game will be the first girls
game of basket ball this year and is
being played for the benefit of the
Pensacola club at the Woman's col
lege. The girls at the college have
promised their aid toward the buying
of a beautiful camp site for the school
and this is the way the Pensacola club
at the college intends to give its quota
of the amount. All the proceeds of
this game will go toward the purchase
of this sitea which the college needs
so badly to furnish recreation to the
students.
The team from Tallahassee is com
posed of all Pensacola girls who are
now attending the school. All of them
are former P. H. S. stars and all made
the "Odd or Even" team this year while
Elizabeth Ray who captained last
years varsity, has made the varsity.
down there. Such stars as Merriam
Olsen, Elizabeth Ray, Ida Merriweather
and Elsie Jones will be pitted against
the local girls.
Our girls are not saying much but
are sticking to the old adage that
ACTIONS speak louder than words" and
are going to give a good account of
themselves. Coach Waite has in Mae
White a forward who is playing her
third year on the varsity, she being
the only high school girl to make a
varsity letter while she was q fresh
man. She is tall and an accurate shot
and has an uncanny knack of throw
ing the ball in from anoverhead shot
Her running mate, Mary Wentworth,
is sure, fast passer, who gets around
the floor quick and Is a good shot. Her
speed has earned for her the nickname
Of the Flash"
The centers are the best that High
has ever had, Mae Coleman and Cliff
ford Clark both are fast on their feet
and sure passers and will give the OPP
position a big fight at all times Az
guards Louise Davis and Edna Wolfe,
while not large, are drilled in the rudi-.I
ments of defense and will give the OPP
posing forwards plenty of opposition
The game will start promptly at 3:15
Admission is rs cents, and it is hoped
that a large crowd will he out to help
the Pensacola girls for their club, and
yet root for "the girls of Ole High"

Why Stay Fat?
You Can Reduce

INA answer Of most fat people is that II
is too hard. too troublesome and too dan
gerous to force the weight down. However
in Marmola Prescription Tablets, all these
difficulties are overcome. They are abso-
lutely harmless, entail no dieting exer-
else, and have the added advantage of
cheapness. A large case is sold by drug
gists, at one dollar. or II preferable, they
can be obtained by sending price direct to
the Marmola Co., 4612 Woodward Ave, De-
troit, Mich. Now that you know this you
have no excuse for being too fat, but can
reduce two. three or four pounds a week
without fear of bad after-enects-
