DARING HOLD-UP
UNSATISFACTORY RESULT FOR ROBBERS Australian Press Association. Vancouver, July 30. Mistaking a paymaster’s car for a bank car carrying a monthly pay-roll, five unmasked bandits staged a daring hold-un in the C.P.R. yards on Tuesday, and escaped, after staging a gun battle, with £91,520 in cheques, which were worthless to them. The bank car was to follow a short while later with currency for the employees to cash their cheques. The hold-up was one of the most daring in the annals of Canadian crima.
