Hold Up on a Main Street of Greeley
In Greeley last evening two highwaymen attempted to rob a Chicago drummer from Wixon & Co. of Chicago. A shot to his breast and another to his feet failed to halt him as he moved toward the alley. The assailants fled, pursued by officers who pursued them to the stockyards. The drummer, Charles H. Polone, had a prior business call at Camfield’s and faced the armed men in the Eighth avenue alley. Brown, an officer, battled the robbers aboard a moving train before they escaped. Two ex-convicts were questioned, but descriptions did not match the long and short men. Misses Floss and Maud Putney to entertain the Methodist choir tonight.
