BANDIT WITH SIX-CUN
HOLDS UP FOUR MEN
CONTINUED from Page One.)

doesn't know whether there was any
one with the bandit. He at once went
to Walter Benefits home, block
away from his own home, and called
Chief Of Police R. l.. Neill.
"I gave the man no argument what
ever" Mr.. LaRue said. Perhaps !
would if he had been in front of me
/ don't know. The gun he carried
must have come from battleship,
for it looked to be about foot long.
Last Thursday night, desperate
answering to the same description as
that given by Mr.. LaRue, held up
three men in the course of two hours,
getting money from only one of them.
One, whom he held up on Milton road,
Mexican said to be named Santiago
the bandit knocked him down with
his gun. Another, man named Da-
Wis, was held up just opposite the
rear of Wong June's laundry on South
San Francisco street, and contributed
ten dollars.
But when the fellow ran up against
Jimmie Patton, who runs store on
West Railroad avenue, he caught a
Tartar. Jimmie was just going into
the gate of the place where he lives,
one of the Lipp cottages on West
Railroad, near his store, when the
bandit stepped out from behind a high
board fence, presented his huge gun
at Jimmie's stomach and demanded:
"Stick up your hands!"
81 won't, you damned scoundrel," /"
was the angry reply.
"Stick 'em up and give me your
cash or I'll kill you!" Kissed the ban
dit.
"I won't. You're too big a damned
coward to shootw Jimmie shouted
and then let wild yell out of him, at
the same time striking the bandits
gun to one side.
Nobody came in response to the yell,
but the desperate evidently thought
someone was going to, for he turned
and ran, at top speed, turning into a
vacant lot west of the scene of the
attempted hold-up. Jimmie follow
ed, but couldn't catch him. In telling
reporter for The Sun about the con-
versation he had with the bandit,
Jimmie censored it somewhat 1t is

uage considerably more forcible. He
was partially paralyzed some time ago
and not in good shape to put up a
fight, or, he intimates, there would
have been one.
Both the sheriff's office and the
city police force are working on the
proposition and both have pretty def
mite theories, though they do not ex-
actly correspond. The general theory
is that the jobs were all performed by
home talent, by someone conversant
with the habits of both Mr.. LaRue and
Mr.. Patton. The latter is almost
sure, he says, of the fellows identity,
but refused to swear out a warrant
fearing that, in case he was mistaken,
injustice would be done to an inno-
cent man.

|Rawlins Boy Writes
! of Dolphin Accident

George Jordan Of this city. a few
days since received q letter from
his son, George Jr., giving details
OF his experience when the u. s.
Destroyer Dolphin went onto the
rocks near San Diego recently.
Young Jordan. who was born and
raised in Rawlins. enlisted in the
navy a couple Of years since and
Dolphin as chief pharmacist. At
the time this destroyer went onto
the rocks George was making his
last trip on it, being on the way
to San Diego where he was going
to enter the government hospital as
an inferno in order to further pur-
u his studies in pharmacy.
In his letter TO his father George
states that when the Dolphin went
onto the rocks most of the crew
was thrown into the waters although
about q dozen sailors were caught
in the wreck and were drowned
like rats in a trap" He states
that he was thrown into the water
but managed to catch hold of some
drifting wood and to keep af1oat
until picked up by rescue boats. He
was in the water for over two and
a half hours and states that many
times during that period he thought
that he was a "goner" a. the waves
would break his hold and he would
be thrown back into the water
without having anything at all to
hold on to. There was so much
drifting wood around, however, that
he was each time able to ind some
thing to hold to.

CITY MANAGER PLAN
 HALLORAN'S CHOICE
(Continued from First Page)
KNIT UNDERWEAR

These commissioners would elect 8
 city manager, an official to serve un-
 der contract as full time employe
 receiving approximately $10,000 a
 year, and being charged with direct
 supervision over the several depart
 ments with regard to their conduct and purchases There is also d mayor
 provided for, but he is an official whose powers would be weak in com parison to those of a mayor under the present form of government.
 Would Abolish Common Council.
 Under this new system, the common council is done away with and, ex- Mayor Halloran believes, a more busi- nesslike administration of civic affairs is assured.
 The former mayor sees in the fact that the charter revision committee voted to reduce the numerical strength of the common council, leaning toward the elimination of that body and the substitution of some other form of government in it's stead.
 He also believes that the agitation for a purchasing agent is indication that the city is gradually moving to- ward the city manager plan. for the duties of such an official, should he be hired, would be very much the same IS that of a city manager. The pur- chasing agent would buy for all city in the same way that a ,ity manager would.
 A third indication that the adop- ion of a new system would be popu- ar is seen in the engaging of an as- essment expert. placing the board of assessors on a more businesslike basis han it has been in number of years. The former chief executive recalls when it was customary to elect men o various boards where there was mall salary because of personal pop larity or even because the candidate ras in need of the monetary advan- ages he would enjoy. These elements yere not considered in engaging the xpert and the same principle would c followed out in all departments nder city manager plan, ex-Mayor argues.

McCabe then refused to take the body to the hospital, saying that it was against the law of the state to remove a body without the coroner's permission.
 Report to Police.
 A short while after two young men arrived and said that they saw the accident. McCabe said that these men are farm hands, employed by the Fairlea Farm. These men, McCabe said, had been to a house about half mile away, where they had notified Constable Charles E. Stevens.
 Savoy said that it was almost inn possible to avoid hitting any of the three men because of their positions on the roas and rather than stopping
