OUTWITS ROBBERS
Pushes Gunman and Rushes To Safety—Three Take Part In Holdup

John Bauerly, manager of the south oil station on highway No. 75, outwitted
three stickup men about 9:40 Friday night. Mr. Bauerly had just closed the
station and was on his way home.

Taking a short cut through his back yard, three masked men jumped out from
behind a shed, poked a gun into his ribs and commanded, “stick-em up!”
Bauerly put his hands up and moved backward slowly. When he was close
enough to his back door of his home, he gave the man holding the gun a big
push, turned around quickly and ran into the house. No shots were fired and
due to Mr. Bauerly’s calmness he saved the money that he had on his person.

One of the robbers was of average height, rather slim. The other was
somewhat taller and the third was rather short and stout.
