POLICE RECORD
SHOWS NO LOOT
ON DEAD BANDIT
Mystery Surrounds Disap
pearance of Money Taken
by Highwayman From
Three Victims.
What became of the $24.60 vhieh
, Bandit Jndd Tobias took from
three of hit victims a short while
before he was shot to death be
tween 2:30 and 3 o'clock Wednes
day morning; at Twentieth and
Dodge streets?
. The police reports show that
there was but $1.37 taken from the
dead man s pocket by the detectives
who searched him.
Harry Little. Twenty-sixth street
and Dewey avenue, was held up by
the bandit on Twenty-sixth, be
tween Harney and Farnam streets,
at 1:15 and relieved of $12.50.
William Gorum, 2622 North
Twenty-fifth street, was held up by
Tobias at 2:20 at Twenty-fourth
and Douglas streets and robbed of
$4.10.
A. J. Tanner Loses $8.
A. J. tanner, 5J8 fark avenue,
faced the bandit's revolver at 1:25,
while $8 was taken from his pockets
Dy locnas at tne door ot nis home.
Mr. uorutn, Mr. Little and Mr,
Tanner viewed the highwayman's
body at the Hoffman Funeral home
and positively identified it as that
of the man who held them up. bach
of the victims declared they had
been robbed by Tobias pf the
amounts named.
Detectives searched the bandit's
pockets before the body was placed
into the ambulance which conveyed
it to the undertaking establishment,
according to witnesses.
Second Time It Occurred.
This is the second time within 10
days that money has been taken
from the pockets of dead persons
while they were under the care of
members of the police department. .
A little over a week ago $33 dis
appeared mysteriously from the
pockets of John A. Rhedin, who lost
his life as a result of an accidental
plunge into a cistern on the rear of
his lot at 1506 B street. Detectives
John Herdzina and Thestrup were
in chargfe of the body when the
money disappeared.
Just a short while before Mr.
Rhedin met with the accident which,
together with the stupidity of the
police and the neglect of the police
physician, caused his death, he
showed Mrs. Rhedin, his helpmate
for a quarter of a century the roll
of bills.
Saved for Long Time.
"Anna, I have been saving this
for a long while," he said. "I am
going to buy you a present with it
when we celebrate our silver anni
versary." The old couple had planned to ob
serve their silver wedding within a
few days.
The last words he spoke to his
wife gave expression to the joy with
which he was looking forward to
the celebration of their 25 years of
married life.
He rolled the money up ana
placed it back in his pocket. He
walked into the back yard and Mrs.
Rhedin still was seated at the table
when her daughter rushed into the
room with the news that her father
had fallen into the cistern.
.Detectives Arrive on Scene.
- Neighbors were trying to revive
the" man when Detectives Herdzina
and Thestrup arrived an hour later.
Mr. Rhedirrdied a short while after
he was taken to the hospital, by
the officers. No money was found
in the man's pockets at the hospital,
it was said. either was there any
, money found in the cistern when
it was pumped out. Mrs. Rhedin de
clared the money was taken out of
her husband's pocket by some one
who was not a member of the fam
ily and after the arrival of the po
lice. She is looking to the police de
partment to eturn the $33, which
was nearly all the money she had.
The three victims who were robbed
by Tobias early Wednesday morn
ing also are looking to the police
department for their money back.

Judge Lays Case Over
30 Days to Reunite Old
Friends Who Quarreled
Abie Lewis and Zelmer Sheir were
neighbors and friends for years, liv
ing in the same block at lwenty
sixth and Q streets. They pitched
horseshoes together and otherwise
fraternized in pleasant ways.
Friday afternoon they appeared in
Justice Collins' court, where they
aired their troubles. Sheir testified
that Lewis struck him with a broom
stick. Lewis averred that his -former
friend expressed wrath by hurl
ing a paving brick, which struck Kim
on the heel.
"I will take off my shoe -and show
you, judge, where he hit .me with
the brick, Lewis said.
The court raised his right hand
to restrain Lewis from removing his
shoe.
"How long since you have been
going five blocks around from my
house and then you go on the side
walk close to my door to have a
fight again?" was a question that
Sheir insisted the court should re
quire Lewis to answer, but Lewis
replied by stating that Mrs. Sheir
chased him with a milk bottle.
"I can excuse women with spare
time on their hands, arguing over
the back fence, but I am surprised.
and I ant deeply grieved to learn
that two South Side business men
of high standing should have been
engaged in a dispute," announced
Justice Collins, who continued the
case 30 days, hoping that time will
heal the breach.
'I haven't got time to fight with
Sheir," Lewis told the court.
