nIurderous Robber.

Murderous Robber.
About $50 Saturday evening. as James
E. Genung, who is employed at the Me-
chanics' Store, was in the vicinity of Thir
tenth and L streets, he passed man who
was leaning against the fence with his hat
pulled down over his eyes He had gone
on about thirty feet when ne received a
blow upon the head and, turning around
to look for his assailant was given one or
two more. Genung struck at his assailant
with a light cane which he carried, before
receiving the second blow but the fellow
was too determined to be driven off with
any such weapon. After receiving the last
blow Mr.. Genung became dazed and fell
but recollects that the robber snatched at
his watch chain and got it, but the watch
remained in its owners pocket. About
81 in money and q scarf pin were Sc
cured by the highwayman, who then disap-
peared. A short time afterward S. D. Bell.
who lives at 1871 n street, was going down
town, and at Thirteenth and L streets met
another man, who at that moment had ar
rived at the spot where the robbery had
taken place. Seeing a 6spectable-loobing
man lying on the sidewalk, they stopped
to look at him, and Bell, putting his hand
upon the head of the PROSTATE individual
found that he was bleeding freely, and it
was also seen that he was unconscious.
Some of the neighbors, who soon gathered,
recognized the injured man as Mr. Genung,
and Mr.. Bell Immediately made arrange
ments for his being conveyed home in a
carriage. On the way he recovered con-
seriousness. Yesterday morning Bell went
to the scene of the robbery, and found the
weapon the robber had used-a fourteen
inch pile, broad and heavy-upon which
there was some of the injured mans hair
Subsequently little girl found the watch
chain in the grass near the place. Mr..
Genung received three cuts on the scalp,
and, looking at the weapon used, it seems
a wonder that his skull was not fractured
