found them and his socks stepped in blood

Mr.. II. Breihan's soda factory, on Railroad |
street below Fourth, and sought to rob him |
of sum of money which they had seen |
him receive in business house on Ohio |
levee. He was walking rapidly toward |
the factory when the tramps met him and,
as he came up, they parted, permitting him |
to pass between them, when one of them |
caught him back of the neck and the other |
started to search for the money. But Mr.. |
Young was too active for the scoundrels.
He turned upon them and after Knocking |
one of them down made his escape. Subse.

and was again unexpectedly attacked by
the same two fellows; but this time he was
less fortunate, for the ruffians beat and
kicked him until he lay helpless on the
ground and he had to be carried home.
Officer Mc'Tigue arrested one of the infer
nal scoundrels, but the other made his
escape. The prisoner will probably be ex.
amined to-day
