DARING HOLD-UP
AT HUNTINGTON
Homrich’s Jewelry Store
Robbed of a Tray of
Diamonds.
About seven o'clock last Saturday
evening highwaymen entered the
jewelry store of 11. J. Homrioh at
Huntington and got away with dia
rnond® valued at between #12,000
and #15,000
One man entered the store and
asked to see some diamonds. L. K
Miller, a clerk, set a tray of stones
on the show case. Wuile the
stranger was apparently examining
the jewels another man entered
and covered Mr. Miller with a gun.
I he man who was looking at the
diamonds took the tray and made
his escape. After he had gon*
the man with the gun quietly back
61 out the door onto Third avenue,
which was quite crowded at the
lime.
As soon as they had gone an
alarm was given and a large crowd
soon collected. The men dashed to
Ninth street and then ran into an
alley leading to Tenth street. Chan.
Ueuschlein, a jeweler at the Horn
rich store, and other* gave chase,
hut a couple of shots tired at close
range by the robbers stopped the
pursuers.
Mr. Homrich offers a reward of
$500 for the arrest of the high
way men and an additional $3,000
for the return of the stones.
This is the boldest robbery com
mitted in this section since 1873.
when the .lames boys robbed the
Huntington National bank.
Saturday evening’s stunt is sup
posed to have been pulled off by
the same people that held up a clerk
and robbed a jewelry store at Ham
ilton, Ohio, last December.
Ghronic Stomach Trouble Gured.
There is nothing more discouraging
than a chronic disorder of the stomach.
Is it not surprising that men suffer for
years with such un ailment when a per
manent cure is within their reach and
may be had for a trifle? “About one
year ago,” says P. H. Beck of Wakelee,
Mich., “I bought a package of Cham
berlain s Tablets, and since nsing them
1 have felt perfectly well. I had pre
viously used any number of different
medicines, but none of them were of any
lasting benefit.” For Bale by all deal

VN e understand the couple ap*

Being used to receiving such set

about face and drilled them to the
city just over the way where the
license was readily secured.
