COP CAPTURES TWO BANDITS IN FOILINGHOLDUP Believes He Wounded Third in Volley; Driver of Car Escapes. Charging upon four alleged bandits during a drug store holdup Thursday night, patrolman William G. Ennis captured two and believes he wounded a third. Joseph Hawkins, 24. and Donald Nye, alias Ralph Woodard, 18, both of 914 Ashland avenue, are held on vagrancy charges, which police say will be changed to charges of banditry. The third bandit, believed wounded, droppeo his hat in his getaway and police have it as a clew. It bears the initials F. E. M. cut into the inner band and, beneath the band, police found a bit of Sunday school paper, folded to make the hat fit closer. Patrolman Ennis became suspicious when he saw a car repeatedly pass the Grahn pharmacy at Cornell avenue and Thirteenth street, shortly before midnight. Two of the occupants cautiously approached the store and peered in. They returned to the car and it moved away slowly. Halls Passing Car

Ennis hailed a passing automobile, driven by Michael Gray, Negro, living in the rear of 914 East Sixteenth street, and ordered Gray to follow the car. The bandits did not detect the trailing car and returned to the drug store after a short time. Three men drew revolvers and started for the store. Gray, excited, drove his car over the curbing and Ennis, on the running board, lost his hold and fell. The three men turned on him. After a brief scuffle he captured two of them and fired several shots at the third, who fled. The man who remained in the car drove away during the fight. Cop Claims Confession Ennis pursued the fleeing bandit several blocks while Gray held the two prisoners at the muzzle of a gun. Police say the two arrested admit intending to hold up the drug store, but deny knowing identity of their companions. Nye previously has served prison terms foi vehicle theft, police say. Bicket Gienellon of 633 North Bancroft street, and Miss Ruth Blackford of 360 Congress avenue reported they were robbed by two bandits at a lonely spot on College avenue north of the White river bridge Thursday night. From Miss Blackford the bandits took $75 cash, a $l5O diamond ring and a fox fur valued at SSO. while Gienellon surrendered S3O cash. The bandits are believed the tame who have held up many parked cars recently. Gas Stations Robbed

* John Welsh, 41, of $33 East Pratt street, attendant at the Bryce filling station at 1225 East Washington street, yielded $lB to a lone bandit Thursday night. John Robert, 1714 North Oxford street, Shell filling station attendant at Warman avenue and Washington street, surrendered S3O to a bandit for whom a companion waited in a car. Police were told jewelry valued at SBOO was stolen fr om the residence of Mr. and Mr: t. H. Barnett, 502 Washington bbulevard, by burglars Thursday night. McKinley Armstrong, of 1808 East Kelly street, merchant policeman, fired several shots at a Negro burglar when he surprised the man in a' Standard grocery at 2007 East Minnesota street early oday. The Negro escaped between the building and a sign board. Armstrong beIteves he wounded the burglar. PUBLIC HEARING FOR GOLF HEAD SLATED Park Board Checks on Shortage of . Riverside Tickets. .
