AN EASY MARK
(By Associated Press

Louisville, Ky, Oct. 17-Five
bandits, each armed with a shot
gun, dashed into the Rugby dis
tillery here early today, attack
ed the watchman and two guards,
bound and gagged them and
made off with three truck loads
of whisky in cases, roughly esti-
mated as worth $4,000. The
bandits took the precaution to
cut the telephone wires. They
also bound two negro employees
of business concern next door
to the distillery, because they
feared they might raise an out
cry. Robert Tandy, distillery
watchman, after half an hour,
freed himself of the bonds, ran
to a fire station three blocks
away and gave the alarm. Po-
lice today found no trace Of the
trucks or liquor. The distillery
was robbed last June of 400 cases

realizes that it is produced by a
