Rector's Restaurant Robbed By a Lone Masked Bandit.

Rector’s restaurant, one of the best known of Chicago’s downtown cases, was held up early Sunday morning and the cashier robbed of $3,300 by a masked man, who pointed two revolvers at the employes, secured the receipts of Saturday night, and escaped. There were no patrons in the case during the hold-up. The robber took the time when the restaurant had the fewest persons present and the largest sum of money on hand of any time during the week, and for this reason Is believed to have been some one familiar with the customs of the place. The cashier, John P. Adams, who was forced to hand over the money, believed him to be a former employe. >
