Only solution is to buy a barrel of beer and drink it, and then when my personal pants problem reaches its final crisis, I'll have a barrel: If you've got a better idea, Senator Ferguson, let me know.
THREE ROBBERIES
Three men were robbed he night and another reported tempted holdup to the police. John Paul Wiley, 31, of 2310 Carrollton ave., was flagged down by| two women at 1 a. m. at Senate an North sts, he said. When stopped they pulled open the door of the car and pointed a gun at him. They took $15 and then drove off in an auto driven by a ny person. Mont McCune, 47, of 1850 Quill st. was threatened last night by a man who waved a blackjack at him, he reported. When McCune | began to run, the hold-up man | became frightened and fled. A soldier from Wakeman hospital | at Camp Atterbury, Pvt. Izaac Eng- | land, 20, was robbed of his wallet | containing $135. He could not tell police. when or where it was taken when he reported the theft to polic at Terminal station. Earl Christensen, 27, a discharged veteran of 1502 Saulcy st., was beaten by two men last night at Everett and Bloomington sts. He was robbed of $67 in cash, his personal papers and his discharge papers. | |
