           Highwaymen in Manistee.
        Two highwaymen held up two street
      cars in the outskirts of Manistee Thurs-
      day night and compelled the conductors
      and motormen to give up all the money
      in their possession.  The hold-up occurred
      in a secluded spot.  There were no passen-
      gers and the highwaymen jumped on board
      and quickly covered the crew with revolvers.
      Then they ordered them to go ahead after
      the booty was secured.  Before assistance
      could be sent back the last car for the
      night had reached the spot and one passen-
      ger and the car men were compelled to under-
      go the same treatment as the others.  About
      $35 was stolen.  The men are tramps and
      had been about the city for a week.
