Robert Allen, of Manchester 
Victim of Hold-up in Boston 
According to the following account 
from the Salem Evening News of 
Wednesday, Robert Allen of Man- 
chester, hada very thrilling experience 
in Boston the other day : 
Robert Allen of Manchester-by-the- 
Sea hada rather thrilling experience 
in Boston Monday. He was standing 
near Tremont Row watching the 
throng of people and speculating upon 
the general busy condition of affairs. 
Now Mr. All-n is no Rube, but it is 
probable that as he stood there with 
his coat open and his hands thrust in- 
to his pockets, a light-fingered gentle- 
man concluded that he was, and so 
proceeded to pluck his prey. 
The stranger sidled up to Allen, 
ard as the latter stood gazing up at 
the high buildings and speculating 
how they would look on Singing 
Peach ne felt a tug at his watch 
chain. It was then that Allen showed 
that there was no hay-seed in his hair, 
for he grabbed the hand of the man 
and without waiting for explanations, 
shot his own right duke straight at 
the point of the jaw of the pick-pocket. 
The member of the light-fingered 
gentry dropped likea log and took the 
count. He was yanked to his feet by 
the irate Allen, who scorned the as- 
sistance of two men, and as he stood 
there speculating as to where the 
“lock-up”’ was, the pickpocket, with 
a quick twist, drove his elbow with 
terrific force into the unprotected 
bread-basket of the plucky grocer 
from Manchester. 
There are some spots in a man’s 
anatomy which are not used to hard 
knocks, and Mr. Allen’s digestive ap- 
paratus is that especial point. His 
wind left him with one big “ ouff!” 
and the pickpocket fled down the street. 
The Manchesterite, however, was not 
long in getting another supply of 
breath and started in pursuit. 
So swiftly did he run that he over- 
hauled the fellow in front of a dime 
museum, gave him the leg and sent 
him sprawling. Mr. Allen didn’t take 
especial care where he in turn 
alighted on the prostrate pickpocket, 
but held him down until a policeman 
arrived and took the fellow into 
custody.
