DOWN BURBLAR
De Leon, March 13.—Armed
only with a, broom, two De Leon
business men-tnarcycd a would-be
hijacker to' jail here Wednesday
The attempted robbery occurred
shortly after 7 a. m. when. J. T.
Edmondson, tailor, opened his
shop. ----
The two men entered and while
one engaged the proprietor in con-
versation about alterations on a
pair of pants, the other entered
Mrs. Edmondson’s ready-to-wear
shop, and scooped up 35 pairs of
ladies’ silk hose, which he at-
tempted to carry away. Edmond-
son’s calls attracted Cager Mohon
and J. P. Howell, who were sweep-
ing out their stoVes near by. With
the broom as a weapon they
marched the man to jail. The
other robber was caught half an
hour later near town. The men
gave their names as Pete Cooksey
and Earl Parks of Teiqple. A
charge of burglary was filed by
Chief of Police Joe Underhill and
the men waived examining trial.
They were removed to the county
jail at Comanche to await the
April term of court.
