TOOK PARTING SHOTS
After Taking Money and Val

Shots at Fleeing Victim.

Kenosha police today are searching
for two negro bandits, who are report
ed to have staged most daring hold
up Thursday evening at the poolroom
at ITO Park street, when they forced
Louis Aulozzi, in charge of the store
at the time, to stand, hands up, at the
point of a gun while they r1fied his
pockets and the cash register of more
than $50 in cash. They ALSO relieved
Aulozzi Of his gold watch, gold pen
Gil and other valuables, locked him
oatside the store to prevent him from
telephoning the police and when he
failed to obey their orders took two
shots at him before they speeded away
in waiting automobile.
The police have a good description
of the two negroes. Chief Logan stat
ed that he believed the men would be
under arrest sometime during the day
Forced Way Into Store.
The robbery occurred just before
nine o'clock, according to AulozzTs
story. He went to the back door to
lock it preparatory to closing for the
night when he found the door blocked
by the foot Of tall negro, who with
an oath ordered him to hold up his
hands and do it quick.
At the same time another negro,
this one described as a short one, en-
tered the front door and turned the
kew in the door after he had closed
it. Together they frisked Aulozzi, tax
ING his watch and other valuables and
So in money from his person. Then
the smaller one rifed the cash reg
lister while the larger one kept Au-
lozzi covered with the gun. From the
cash register they secured $29.15.
Thought of Gagging Him.
Aulozzi. says the two talked over
whether or not they should bind and
gag him and leave him locked in the
poolroom.
eve don't need to do that" the tall
er negro finally said. Hes got a
family and we can get away without
doing any more to him."
Then the bandit politely informed
Aulozzi that they were going to take
him outside and if he obeyed instruc-
tions there would be no trouble.
walk straight up the street and no
foolishness," they told him. Aulozzi
started west on Park street. After he
had gone about 100 yards he dart
ed into yard intending to so to a
telephone.
The bandits fired twice at him and
then ran over to an automobile at the
curling and drove away. Several min
utes later the police were informed of
the incident but up to three o'clock
this afternoon the two bandits had
not been apprehended.
Had Watched Their Chance.
1t is the opinion of Aulozzi that the
two negroes had been watching their
chance for some time before they ac-
tually staged the hold-up. Angelo
Amici owner of the building in which
the store is located, had been talking
with Aulozzi for more than an hour
before the hold-up and had just left the
building when Aulozzi started to lock
up. The automobile in which the two
men. escaped had been parked across
the street for a considerable length of
time and it is believed that they were
waiting their time when Aulozzi was
alone in the poolroom.
Aulozzi declares that the two men
were mulattos, one tall and one short;
he believes that he has seen them be-
fore in Kenosha and has given the po-
lice thorough description of both
men.
The two would have got consider

staged a short time earlier as more
than $50 had been paid out by the
pool hall owner for current bills EARL.
