Reynolds home and when near {ission streets he saw st a fence on the treet. As soon as a glimpse of him they dis- r headgear and substituted s, which were intended as a dis- fter donning masks the men ss the street where Reynolds One of the robbers drew a ng it at Reynolds or- to throw up his hands. & that the men meant business, Reynolds quickly obeyed the command, in the meantime calling on.the robber who held the pistol not to shoot. Evidently | thinking that their intended victim was ‘‘easy game,” the desperado who polnted | the revolver at him replaced the weapon in his pocket and at once proceeded to | relleve Reynolds of his valuables. As he | started to search him Reynolds struck the robber in the face, and as he staggered back from the effects of the blow his in- tended victim took to his heels and soon sappeared in the darkness. The pair made no attempt to follow him, presum- satisfied to allow him to get away. Reynolds lost no time in reaching the | Beventeenth-street station, where he told Sergeant Perrin of his experience. Per- rin, accompanied by several police officers, visited the scene, but after a lengthy search they failed to get a trace of the | footpads. | From the description given of the men by Reynolds Captain Gillen 1s satisfied that they are the robbers who have for the past several weeks been operating in ission. He has specilally detailed 1 of his best men In citizens’ clothes to apprehend them. Last night Reynolds visited police head- quarters and gave an accurate description of the footpads to Captaln of Detectives Bohen. He is satisfled that he will be able to identify them in case they fall into the hands of the police. The men are said | to be ex-convicts who were released from | | San Quentin ort time ago.
