After Hold-Up Amid
Ripe-Tomato Volley
Grocer Had No Gun, but
Makes Good Use of
Only Ammunition.

By the Associated Press.
WILMETTE, Ill, December o.
Search was under way today for two
men with the splatter from ripe toma-
toes smearing their otherwise classic
features.
The men were thieves. They took
$50 from the grocery store of George
Cosmas. AS they ran from the place
Cosmas pursued. The grocer had no
pistol, machine gun nor light artillery
There was. however, a basket of ripe
tomatoes at hand and Cosmas was quick
to realize it was his one chance.
He began cannonading the fleeing
robbers with tomatoes. The first pitch
was daisy, smacking one of the men
squarely on the derby The second
slapped robber No. on the back of the
neck. This particular tomato was of
unusual ripeness. Other persons were
so delighted with the event that they
joined the chase, tossing Cosmas' ex-
pensive tomatoes in reckless abandon
at the harassed fugitives. The fellows
got away.
