theatre, two nice looking young
men held up the cashier and made
away with $125.
The two, between 19 and 23
years old, acted as though they
were about to'buy tickets when one,
wearing a blue checkered shirt,
pulled a revolver and demanded
money from Miss Allison.
She pushed a number of bills
at the youths, who fled. In a few
minutes three squads of officers
istarted a search, but no trace was
found of them.
Miss Allison said both were nice
