The two men according to their Omaha friends always possessed enough sporting blood to wager on most anything. During the holdup, which was one of the most daring in downtown Des Moines In years, one bystander was shot. Omaha friends of the two men say that the only reason Abdo went cast to get west was to pick up some soft money. "That's a new* racket on us," said both Paekey Gaughn and Sam Zig man, owners of the Baseball head quarters, "for one to travel to New York to fret to Frisco." Sam stated that if he ever took a trip to Shanghai he would start by traveling through Kokomo, lnd. It is the'usual talk about the sport ing Rialto that both Abdo and Houskl always carried large sums of money on their persons. Local friends of the two men stated that they were told in a phone mes sage from the victims last night that the gunmen trailed them from Omaha into Dcs Moines. They are the same gunmen, it is said, who have been staging holdups of gamblers for the past few months. Gamblers who have lost large sums of money have been afraid to report their losses to police.

The young Bob Whites over In the wheat field had not been very much frightened when they had discovered the dog which had found them. They had seen dogs many times and never had they heard of a dog catching a Bob White. The first one to discover that dog warned the others and they all squatted dose to the ground and waited for what that dog might do. They heard their father. Bob White, calling from a fence post to fly, but .So they squatted dose to the ground and Waited. they didn't fly. They thought he was foolishly excited. They didn't see any need of flying. It would be time enough to fly when that dog tried to catch one of them. So they squatted close to the ground and waited. The dog stood motion less, pointing at them, and waited. Then they heard heavy footsteps. They were coming nearer and nearer. They knew that they were made by one of those two-legged creatures called men, for they had heard men’s footsteps before. They only crouched closer to the ground. Perhaps he would not see them. Nearer drew those footsteps, and nearer. Then the young Hoi) Whites knew that they must fly. It was as if each thought of flying at the same instant that all the others did. With a roar of stout little wings they were all in the air at the s^me instant. And then a terrible thing happened. Be hind them there was a sharp and very dreadful noise. Then another. Some of them, glancing back, saw that that man was pointing a stick, from which smoke and flame shot out. Several of them heard a strange whistling sound all around them ami two of them felt sharp pains. And how' they all did fly! It was each one for himself. They flew in differ ent directions, but all of them headed for Farmer Brown's land. They flew so hard and so fast that their wings soon tired. Then they dropped down to the ground and ran. Finally each one hid, squatting close (o the ground. Such frightened young Boh Whites as they were! They knew now with out being told what had happened. They knew that. Boh White, their father, had told them truly about the hunters with terrible fire sticks. They didn't understand it nil, but It was vtrue. Two of them, the two who had felt sharp pains when the hunter had shot at them, felt very sick and miser able. The heart of each one of them went pit-a-pat, pit-a-pat with fright. Would that hunter come over after them? Their father had said they were safe on this side of the fence, but they were afraid, very much afraid, that he might be mistaken. How they did wish they had obeyed him in the first place and not gone over in the wheat field! What they didn't know was that they were lucky. They had been found by a young hunter who was but for Bob Whites for the first time. He. had had little experience in shoot ing at birds flying and that is why he had simply wounded two and none had been killed. But they had learned a lesson. It was a terrible lesson, and for that very reason they never would forget it. They knew now that no enemy was to be feared as much aa a hunter with a terrible gun. (Copyright. 1923.)
