Six Jump to Safety
From Elevator Floor

Six men, including Charles
Highly, Civil war veteran and op-
orator of the elevator at city hall,
were required to jump several
feet at an angle on which an
error IN gauging distance might
cause Them to be precipitated
down the elevator shaft at II
o'clock last night when the cab
in city hall stalled between two
floors.
The cab was descending from
the top floor of the municipal
building when 1t came to an alb
rupt stop just below the third
floor landing. 1t was found i'm
possible to bulge the machinery.
After some maneuvering the door
at the second floor was opened.
The passengers, one at time.
sat on the floor of the cab and
swung their weight out past the
gaping hole between the floor and
the bottom of the cab. Had the
jumpers thrown themselves off
balance and fallen backwards
they would probably have been
picked up at the bottom Of the
elevator shaft. Fortunately, all
escaped without mishap. The
elevator is undergoing repairs to-
day.

Cut All Wires and Hold
Undisputed Possession
of Cassopolis Nearly
Three Hours - Many
Shots Are Fired, Only
One Man Wounded.
ROBBERS IN CHICAGO
GET $4,000 SATCHEL

Cassopolis, Mich, Nov. "a tP ----
Armed bandits terrorlzed Casso-
polls for nearly three hours early
today, firing at every resident who
dared to appear on the street, and
finally roared out of town to the
staccato accompaniment Of their
own revolvers after failing to rob
the First National bank.
Their number was variously esti.
mated by excited Cassopolis resi-
dents at from five to ten. From the
confusion of scores Of accounts by
persons whose temerty led them
to see what all the shooting was
for, and whose better judgment al
most as quickly sent them out of
sight and gunrange, this is what
happened:
Cut Phone Wires
The bandits entered Cassopolis
shortly after 2 a. m. today. They
bound the night watchman and
three other men who were in two
all-night restaurants, cut telephone
AMI telegraph wires leading out Of
the city and for two and one-hali
hours owned the town.
At 4:45 a. M. after an ineffec-
tual attempt to break the vault Of
the First National bank, the ban.
dts left In an automobile, heading
toward Niles.
Fire Many Shots
During the time they held undis-
puted possession Of this Cass county
seat town, the bandits fired be-
tween 100 AMI $50 shots (again
the accounts Of eye witnesses are
at variance), and only one shot
was fired In return. Kevolvers and
sawed-off shotguns were used and
the targets were any who appeared
on the streets or who showed lights
In office buildings or residences
near the business section.
Only One Casualty

emerged from his house he was
greeted with a volley. A shotgun
slug inflicted q neck wound, and he
retrcated into the house.
Shooting came from so many
quarters during the raid that many
persons believed ten men must
have participated in the invasion.
Only five men were seen, however.
Two wore masks and appeared
youthful. Each OF the others was
described as SO or more years old.
Main street today looked a thor
oughfare that had stood the siege
Of an invading army. Windows
were shattered AMI exploded rcvol-
yer and shotgun shells were lying
in the streets. The walls OF the
buildings were marked with bull
let's.
