a Le lee Ey » a as September 24, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 15 Stage Holdup in Kenilworth Without the Use of a Gun A hold-up without the use of a gun was staged in Kenilworth Tuesday evening when a stranger walked into the Schroeder restaurant and ice cream parlor, 511 Kenilworth avenue, picked up a trade machine, which was well filled with coins, put it in a car waiting at the curb and drove away. On entering the store the man said he had been sent by the company own- ing the machine, with instructions to pick it up and bring it in. His proclaimed authority was not questioned for the moment, but soon after his departure the company was advised of the incident. "Great Scott No!" was the answer to the inquiry if a man had been sent for the machine. The amount of money obtained is not known. The last time the official collector called, he took from the ma- chine till something like $35 and it is presumed the amount therein at the time it was stolen was near that amount, Miss Corinne Fitzpatrick has re- turned to her home at 769 Locust street, after a month's absence. She camped in the woods of northern Minnesota, and then visited relatives in Duluth, Minneapolis and St. Paul. Miss Fitzpatrick is head of the Com- munity Nursery school. -- Mr. and Mrs. Arlan W. Converse and their daughter, Marcia, 396 Haw- thorn lane, recently have returned from the East. Mr. and Mrs. Con- verse visited friends at Hyannisport, Marblehead, and Boston, Mass.
