HOLDUP IS CAPTURED BK II HE 10 ROBBED Jack Wilsou, aged 22, who claims Salt Lake as his home, and an unknown un-known companion, held up and robbed Adolph Sapperstien last night a few minutes after 10 o'clock while the latter was on his way home. Wilson was arrested in the Cozy pool room, 326 Twenty-fifth, in less than an hour after the robbery. Sapperstien was walking along Grant avenue, between Twenty-seventh and Twenty-eighth streets. Entering En-tering the shade of a row of trees, two men stepped from behind a tree and one flourished a revolver in a very annoying an-noying manner while the other searched his victim. They took a package of cigarettes, which is a raje brand and seldom sold here and $2.50 in silver. Fearing detection if an attempt at-tempt were made to dispose of it, they allowed Sapperstien to keep his watch. The Ogden man after the robbery ln formed the police station and then went over to the Cozy pool room. While he was standing against the wnll watching a game of pool, two fellows walked In. Sapperstien thought they resembled the men who had held him up, so ho managed to get right beside Wilson. Watching his opportunity he rammed his hand in the suspect's coat pocket and drew out the package of cigarettes. The hold-up struck Sapperstien( a blow in the face, while the other highwayman darted through a back door and escaped. In the meantime Officer Sullivan, Sul-livan, attracted by the disturbance, appeared on the scene and arrested Wilson before the latter could escape. Wilson claimed that he and two other men came to Ogden yesterday from Salt Lake. 00
