Policeman Lyons was shot and killed by a robbery suspect.

Policeman Lyons was shot and killed about 11:05 pm by a highwayman who, with his partner, held up and robbed the Magnolia Winery at No. 1404 Central Ave. Ten minutes earlier, the same men had held up a grocery store at Twelfth Street and Tennessee.

In less than two hours the man who did the shooting was captured and identified.

Policeman Lyons had been a regular member of the police force since August 20, 1907, but before that he served as a special patrolman for some time. He was therefore not inexperienced.
