MORNING ENTERPRISE, SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1912.
1 DEAD; 2 WOUNDED
IN AUTO HOLD UP
(Continued from Page 1.)
were seriously injured. Bruce D.
Stewart a brother of one ofS- the
wounded men took the wheel . and
speeded the car to the residence of
Judge C. H. Carey, where the wound
ed men were cared for until the ar
rival of an ambulance.
H. L. Tabb, who lives at the Mult
nomah Hotel, escaped injury but a
shot pierced the sleeve of his over
coat. Donald M. Stewart lives at 233
East Third Street North, and Bruce
D. Stewart is secretary of the Mann
& Stewart Company, 301 East Seven
teenth Street, North. Mr. Tabb is
employed in the Northern Pacific
Freight Department.
The scene of the hold up was shad
ed by trees and is densely dark, but
the members of the party obtained
a fair view of the highwayman. He
wore gray trousers and khaki coat
The authorities think he is a resident
of the neighborhood where the hold
up occurred, for they do not believe
it likely that a man would carry a
shot gun a long distance to use for
murderous purposes. That he is
probably insane is indicated by his
shooting after the autoists had got
by him, and he had no chance of
robbing them, and by shootig menac
ed his own life.
Sheriff Mass searched for the cart
ridges from the gun, thinking they
might give a clew to the identity of
the man, but none was found, and he
evidently picked up all of them.
Another theory is that the high
wayman fired first at the driver,
thinking that by killing him the ma
chine would be ditched, and the mem
bers of the party would be at hi3
mercy. It is also thought that the
robber believed that by puncturing
one of the tires which he did with
the last shot that the machine would
be stopped, but it was not until it
had gone a quarter of a mile from the
place of the attempted hold up.
"We had just crossed the bridge
between Oswego and Riverdale,"
said Tabb, ''and were ascending Elk
rock Hill when we saw the figure in
the road. It looked for all the world
like a woman, and one of the party
said to Bruce Stewart to be careful not
to run over her. But when we' got
a little nearer we saw that the per
son was a man and that he had a
gun. Hardly had we reached him
when he stepped to the right side of
the road, and commanded us to halt.
As we sped by and hardly before we
could realize what was happening he
began firing and Hastings fell limp
from his seat. . Three more shots
werefired in rapid succession."
It was thought at first that the rob
ber used a rifle but when an exam
ination of the" wounds, were made at
the home of Judge Carey it was
found that they had been inflicted
with a gun loaded with . buckshot.
Sheriffs Mass and Stevens added to
their posses upon their arrival and
they think the man will be captured.
It is thought probable that after leav
ing the road he headed for Portland
thinking that " it would be- easier for
him to conceal himself .there than in
the country. .

Some Advice That Will Save Time
and Money. ,.
Strong 'drink and quinine may re
lieve a cold, but it usually does more
harm than good. -
To break up a hard cold in either
head or chest thousands are using this
sensible treatment. , . -
First of all look after your bowels;
if they need attention use any reliable
cathartic. Then pour a scant tea
spoonful of HYOMEI into a bowl of
boiling water, cover head and bowl
with a towel and breathe for 5 or 10
minutes the pleasant, soothing, heal
ing vapor.
- Do this just before going to bed:
your head wfll feel fine and clear and
you'll awake from a refreshing sleep
minus a cold in the morning.
For colds, coughs, catarrh, asthma
and croup HYOMEI is guaranteed. A
fifty cent bottle is all you need to
break up a cold and this can be ob
tained at Huntley Bros. Co. and drug
gists everywhere. 29-12
