on Burglar; Holds
Him at Point of Gun
" Until Police Arrive

Beating highwayman to the
first shot, DR.. A. NJ. Bowles, popular
pharmacist, directed such a deadly
fire at a masked white-hold-up man
who commanded him to "hands-up"
that the would-be bandit threw his
gun on the floor and held his hands
high, begging for his life. This
reads like fiction, but it really hap
pened last Monday night at about
1920 in DR.. Bowles drug store, di-
rectly opposite Mechanics Bank
Building, at Third and Clay Streets.
DR.. Bowles was in the rear, alone,
when he heard what he thought
was a customer, enter the front.
he walked out, only to be met by
a young white man, masked, with
a revolver pointing directly in his
face. The visitor made peremp-
tory demand for DR.. Bowles to
throw up his hands. Right here the
Do,tor did what only few men can
10 IN such emergencies. He quickly
dyed behind his cash register, get
out Of direct range Of the
Looking six-shooter, and re
I'd to the rear of his store, all
me partially covered by his
.vupters.
The little Doctor Che is only
about five feet) reached for his
artillery and opened fire from his
position on the bandit. DR.. Bowles'
are was 40 sudden and fierce that
the burglar threw his gun in the
direction of DIR. Bowles, reached
for the skies and begged to be
spared. The plucky pharmacist then
covered him with his gun (Which
by the way was empty at this time)
and backed him into the rear, where
he held him at bay with enc hand
and called the police station.
When the officers arrived they
fopnd the bandit sitting in the
chair, with DR.. Bowles standing over
&m covering him with his unloaded
revolver. The police were high in
&eir commeKaation of the redoubt-
abls pharmacist and it is reported
nat they viii supply him with more
deadly pellets to reload his revolver.
The police found this highwayman
was wanted for other offences and
he has been remanded to the Gus
tody of the jailer-
DR.. Bowles' friends are commend
ing him for his unusual bravery and
fast thinking and at the same time
expressing their happiness at the
thought that he was not injured.
E'e and his wife reside at TIA n.
j fifth Street. They have two chill
jren. Miss Eloise Bewles is very
ccomplished and is teaching in the
hools at Keninsville, N. c., and
is son, Mr.. John Bowles, resides in
