The deputy county clerk decided
several months ago that II is a bad
policy to carry much coin with
him, due to frequent robberies, and
what he did carry he placed in. diff
ferent pockets.
This all proved to the good Fri
day night when the deputy county
clerk lost only 81 and saved Cd
cents, which he had in another
pocket.
Leaving his home Friday night
he was walking north on Seven
teenth street and hed gone only a
block when he was acc0sted by
two men between Ninth and T'ath
Plenty Gun Play.
The two men were walking ahead
of Mr.. Pirmann, but let him catch
up to them. He was not suspic-
ious and started to walk around
them when one man grabbed him
by the arm, turning him about and
At the same time showing the muz-
gle of 3 revolver against his Stom-
ach. The other man showed a re-
volver against his back, and the
order to put hands up was given.
Got any money!? the holdup
men asked.
Some change in my trouser
pocket" answered Pirmann, anil
one of the men took this. They
did not search him further and
Pirmann was saved 80 cents that
he had in his vest pocket.
After taking the dollar the men
ordered their victim to walk on
north. ThexHurned and walked
south on Seventeenth street. Pr
mann Immediately called the police,
and although q squad of ofilcoFs
hurried to the scene they failed in
intercepting the holdup men. The
robbers wore overalls. dark coats
and dark caps. One was described
as>about II years Of age, five feet
and six inches in height and the
other about Is years OF age and five
feet and eight inches in height.

Under this decision strike call

action shall be withheld until word
is received from Detroit.
However, it is understood that a
move is under way to make the dis

will have the active backing Of the
international union. Nothing would
be said by Mr.. Wiley before he
lett for Detroit as to whether or
not he favors a strife or court &C.

to arbitrate the Rogers case. The
union claims that the company has
abrogated its contractin refusing
arbitration and thai a. test case
must be made to show whether the
company can be forced to live up
to its contracts with its employees.
The company refused twice to arbi-

not be settled amicably shall go to
arbitration with the exception OF
