The butler came in with a box. put the unsuspecting kitten in and nailed down the lid. What followed la too confusing to : tell There was much rattling over • rough streets, much Jolting over ; tracks, much shrieking of engines. . much bumping against boxes. At last It was over. The box was carried into a warm, softly lighted room. A child’s vole* was beard exclaiming: "For me! Why. I wonder what it can be."

A Bold Hold-up | Last Night CONTINUED MtOM f aGE ONE in an odd pocket this morning, which the robbers tad overlooked. Hardly less exciting are the adventures of Dick Wilson, also a construe-1 . tion man employed by the Erie rail-j I road at Markle. He began work about | i eight weeks ago and only last Satur-1 ■ day he drew the wages due him. some 1 hundred dollars. He paid his accounts ■ [ due, and haring forty dollars left, | started for Decatur to buy an overeoat and a pair of trousers. He rode In on a freight and getting off at the water tank found a gang there The ; weather was cold and the gang invited him to share tn some coffee, which they had been boiling Wilson says the coffee was ■’Axed.” for he soon went to sleep, and when he awoke he was in'a coal car going west, back to Markle. He only found eighteen dollars which was in a d.fferent place, and placing it back in his pocket he seems to have fallen asleep. When he again awoke he was laying along the right-of-way east of Uniondale and his money was gone. He believes he was robbed the second time, or else how would the money be missing if he had rolled out of the car. the sides ' ' of which are generally four feet high* He bails from Buffalo, and gives good proof of his being a working man He states where and how his money was spent and the sums practically agree It seems that an organized gang of yeggmen are operating up and down I the Erie and are making the construe- : , tion men their especial prey. So many robberies in so short a time precludes any chance that they were only occasional occurrences, but it points ■ strongly to a well organized bunch of . yeggs. Other robberies east and west of the city, of practically the same nature are reported daily. Routine Matters < Continued rrom Page 1) The following bills were allowed: 8. Melchi » 50.00 F.
