Obtain $500 Ring

AS they obeyed, according to Miss
AIcCune, one Of the robbers pulled
a diamond ring worth 500 from her
finger. AS she was struggling with
this man she heard a shot, she said.
She and the hold-up man ran around
the car, she told the police. Orme
said he was shot. The robber said
he didn't believe he had hit Orme.
Miss McCune said the bandits then
ran. Apparently, the police believed,
the bandit was inexperienced and in
his excitement his nervous fingers dis
charged the revolver.
Miss McCune said she went to two
nearby farmhouces seeking help. At
one place she said there appeared 10
be no one at home. There was a light
at the other house, but the occupants
refused to answer her knock.
Miss McCune said she then ran
back to the car and helped Orme back
in. He was suffering from loss Of
blood, but the succeeded in driving
to the home of Eugene Hayes, Forty.
Sixth St. and Arlington Ave, where
the police were called. Miss NIcCune's
clothing was covered with blood. Tho
bullet had penetrated Orme's side near
the right lung.
Police Search Is Futile
The police started to the hospital
with Orme in the emergency auto
mobile. Near the State Playground
they met a city ambulance respond
ing to their call and transferred him
to the ambulance.
The police searched the neighbor-
hood Of the shooting without success,
A hold-up was committed near the
same spot by two men about two
weeks ago.
Orme is widely known as a tennis
player. In his college days he was a
star player on the Indiana University
football team.
