SANTA ANA GROCER VICTIM OF 2 BOLD HOLDUPS LAST EVE Obtain Over $100 From Cash Drawer and Escape Quickly in Waiting Automobile. Officials were engaged today in seeking for two bold holdups who "stuckup" a grocer at 1002 W. Third-st, Santa Ana, last night. Yesterday about 4 p.m., a young man entered the store and purchased a penny box or matches. At 7 p.m., he returned with a companion and purchased another box of matches. When the grocer turned from reaching for the box, he was faced by two revolvers. The holdups took about $100 in currency and some silver from the cash drawer and beat it in a waiting auto which they had left in front of the store with motor running. The grocer says both holdups were under 30 and appeared to be very nervous. Ten minutes after the holdup a large number of Santa Ana and county officers, including Sheriff Jackson, were on the scene. Motorcycle Officer Frank Stewart scoured the streets and highways leading out of Santa Ana without results. This afternoon, S. M. White victim of the holdup, who operates the grocery with a brother, estimated the loss at $118. They left a number of checks. White said he was as nervous as the bandits appeared to be and could give little more of a description than that they were well dressed, since they kept him covered with their guns until they backed out of the store and leaped into the car. White says he that the car, which was parked the wrong way in front FIRST CLASH OVER MRS.
