Hold-up Game
 Getting Common
One Staged Last Night
 Proved to Be a Failure

The holdup business is getting to be quite common in Waterbury. The latest one brought to the attention of the police occurred last night when Motorman Clarence Percival or the Connecticut company was ap- preached between Fairlawn Manor and East Farms by man who evi- dently wanted to get the cash the motorman had in his possession. The motorman refused to allow the footpad to board his car and brushed him aside with the use of his foot, turned on more power and sped to- ward the center at top speed, while the would be robber and compan- ion. who watched what had hap pened from a distance were le1t 10 talk the matter over between them selves.
 The matter was reported at the police station and men went out there in a car but they failed to find any trace of the robbers. A few cases of this kind would serve to show that the holdup game is at tended with some risk. and that those who try it stand a show Of be- ing foiled and have nothing for their trouble,
