Masked Highwaymen Hold up Lone

Twenty Cents Was all the Mansy Thty
iecitied, and Escaped without
Leaving a Clew.
On of the mo t daring highway ro!-
beries that ever took pUce within the
limits of Clackamas county was per-
petrated last Monday morning at ten
o'clock.
Mrs. Margaret Mulvey was an her war
tO.Parkplace whan two masked men
stepped from the brush and commanded
her lo atop. One of the men grabbed
tha women and placed his haad over her
mouth. The oth.-r took a haadkerchii-f
which she carried in her hand,a womra
frequently do with their spare change
tied up in it and proceeded to tear It to
bits to cure the money they supposed
to be in it. They were much disapp dot
ed to find only twenty cents in change
aad immediately let tne woman go ana
disappeared into the brush.
Very much frightened, Mrs. Mulvey
mada her way to Parkplace whire the
authoiities. were mads acquainted with
the dastardly robbery by telephone.
Sheriff Shater immediately went to the
scene, but up to the present time no
clue has bean discovered which issuftici-.
ent to cause any arrests.
The description given to the offic -rs is
q'dte meager and it is hardly sutlicient
tn identify them even if caught. A man
t-t ipped a wnndhauler a few minutes bo
lore the hoi I up an I aBlted hiui the way
to the car line and ab.ut the schedule of
thecals. Hen believed to have betn
one of the robbe -s. Ano h -r man sup
posed to have been the other one, wa
watching him at a ciitiance of a 1 w
hundred yards. The nun was without
a coat, smootk shaven aud was about 35
year of age.
A aeries ol hold an nave occurred in
and around Oregon City during the past
