No. 28 FOREST GROVE, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 20, 1916 Intended Victim THE CHAUTAUQUA Outruns Holdups IN FULL BLOOM Shortly after 9 o ’clock Tuesday evening, while George Scoggin, a member of the Elliott Construc tion company, was heading for the S. P. depot to take the 9:45 car for Portland, after a visit to the Elliott residence, an attempt to hold him up was made, but was frustrated by Mr. Scoggin’s fleet ness of foot. Just as Mr. Scoggin arrived in front of the Myers residence, on I South Third street, three or four men stepped from behind the trees and one of them pointed a gun at him and ordered “ Hands up.” Having in his pockets con siderable money and a valuable watch and having no desire to part with his valuables, Mr. Scog gin wheeled and ran back to the ! Elliott residence. The sudden- m ess of his action evidently sur prised the wood-be robbers, for they failed to follow him, and, after borrowing a revolver, Mr. Scoggin returned to the scene of | the holdup, but the robbers had | disappeared. The matter was reported to Chief of Police Watkins, but he has been unable to find a clue to the identity or whereabouts of the highwaymen Forest Grove’s Chautauqua is* Court Ladies—Lucile Martin; now on in full blast and if thi* Helen M cEldowney, Margaret numbers still to come are as kwh !
