NIGHT CLUB
RAIDED BY ROBBERS (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright). . NEW YORK, Oct. 7. . Sarri Fiddle, the owner of the Palm Gardens Road House at Chicago, has been robbed so often that it was no surprise for him to get his fifth visitation for this year at five o’clock on Sunday morning, when the leader of a Robin Hood band announced his presence by rising from a wine table and firing a volley into the floor. Sam merely signed, opened the cash register, and stood aside while the robber leader cut short the syncopations of the orchestra, and, with one hundred guests lined against the wall, the robbers expeditiously removed £3OO from the till, and took £IOOO worth of jewels from the women.
Instead of backing out of the doors the six robbers then ordered drinks and smokes for everybody, on the house. Then, when the bandits withdrew, it was found that the ignition of all of the nearby motor cars bad been disabled, so that the pursuit of the robbers was hopeless.
