The bandits, besides their highway
men's musks, woro "Wild 'West" som
breros, nnd each flourished two guns.
Th hold-up nnd the fight which fol
lowed lasted but n fow minutes.
The story did not come out until
today, when Magistrate Dougherty, sit

Detcetlvo Gurt was tho first man to
discover the presence of the bnndlts,
larking in the very shadow of the police
itition. He discovered thera when they
ituck their guns "in his faco nnd told
Mm eraphntically to "come across."
The detective was duo nt S o'clock
for evening roll call. It wns shortly
ifter half-past seven when he enmc
iirlnglng up the street nnd turned Into
the yard gate at tho station house.
Faces Young Arsenal
As he did so he wns stopped by tho
violent pressure of four revolvers
gainst his chest. It wns light enough
for him to see two pairs of eyes glaring
it him through the eye-silts of half
muks worn under pulled down felt hats
of wide dimensions.
"Put up your hands nnd keep quiet,"
in tho order. Ourt, seeing that the
bandits mennt business, complied in
iplte of tho fnct thnt Ms friends wcro
.only i few yards awny nnd easily could
hear his voice if he shouted.
' One of tho bnndlts kept his pair of
rum trnlned on the detective's chest,

Gnrt walloped the bnndit who wns
starching him, on the point of the jaw
with n punch that didn't trnvel vcrj
far, but packed it lot of steam. The
bandit caromed off his two-gun pal nnd
crumpled on the ground.
The second bnuilit whirled fiercely on

firing .when there enme n diversion,

He had run like a rabbit into the stntlon
house and gasped his btory to the desk

'Detail tumble out," yelled the scr
geant, "there's n stick-up in the yard."
IlatlcHS and contless, the men erupted
from the station bouse dragging guns
from back pockets or swinging "Jacks,"
and swept to the rctcne of their com
rade. Pntrolmnn I'lcclulcco led them,
jelling.
By this time the bnndit whom Gurt
had felled was on his feet again, guns
inihand. Gurt sprang back and ranged
himself with Ills comrades. Tho bandits,
aide by side, guns In hand nnd crouch

SUIT TO PREVENT SPLIT
PROBABLY IS NEXT MOVE
The division of the Twenty-second
Ward Into two wards with Washington
Inne ns the dividing line, was recom
mended unnnlmnusly today by a com
mission named by the Court o'f Quar
ter Sessions to pass oh the proposal.
The section below Washington lnne
would rcmnln ns the Twenty-second
Wnrd nnd comprises nbout one -fourth
of the present wnrd nrca. It has about
20,000 nsscssed voters- nnd thirty-eight
voting divisions.
Abovo Washington lnne the proposed
new wnrd would be known ns the Forty-ninth.
The section covers nbout
three-fourths of the present area of the
Gcnnnntown -Chestnut Hill wnrd. It
hns 1.1,000 nssesscd voters nnd sixteen
voting divisions.
New Boundary Lines
Tho boundary line sepnrnling the

mended would be from Stcnton nvenue,
nlong Wnshington lnne to Wayne nve

The commission's report will lie In

of Qunrtcr Sessions until August 211,
when It will be passed upon by the
Court. If approved, the recommenda
tion then will be submitted to the elect

The report, in part, follows:
"The population of the Twenty-second

other wnrd. According to the 1010 cen
sus, it wns 70,21." nnd since thnt-time,
it hns been greatly increased. The
