day when two armed men, nm
masked, held mp Fred w.
Boone, of the POO block of

robbed him of 800 in cash and
a check for $50.

standing in the entry of his store
when two men approached him,
and, drawing revolvers. forced him
to back into rear room,
Securely tying him with his
wife's apron-strings and warning
him to make no outcry on pain of
death, the bandits leisurely robbed
their victim of 800 and an un.
Endorsed check for $50. The men
then made their escape.
Police of the Third precinct are
eombing the section nearby. and
headquarters detectives We're imme.
diate1y dispatched to the scene.
The gunner laid Boone face
down on couch in the room and.
while one held a revolver to his
head. the other proceeded 10 tie
him up.
The confectioner struggled with
his bonds for more than 20 minutes
finally rolling 10 the floor and
across the room. where he man

then dashed from his store and
