ROBBED AND WOUNDED.
Remarkable Experience Of
DR.. Kellogg.
TIED TO THE RAILROAD.
He Remembers Nothing After Be-
ing at the Santa
Fe Depot.

The night clerk at the st. Elm,
looked up with astonishment about
o'clock on Tuesday morning as a we'll
dressed man threw open the doors ant
staggered rather than walked into th,
lobby. The visitors head. was covered
with blood and his clothes were torn
and at first the hotel man thought tha
the latest arrival was only drunk
though this idea was soon banished
from his mind when the newcomer
spoke: "I am DIR. D. T. Kellogg, of AL
hambra," he said, "and I have been
robbed and foully beaten. came into
Los Angeles yesterday morning to
pay my taxes and look after a
few professional matters, after which
I intended to return home. When had
settled my business l started down First
street, and had at that time in my pocket
about one hundred dollars in addition to
which l carried valuable gold watch
and few other trinkets. l remember
being at the Santa Fe depot and after
that all seems dream until about an
hour ago, when l awoke with strange
feeling in my head. 1 tried to collect my
all was blank, and when l opened my
overhead. I essayed to arise but
found that l was bound to the ground,
and as l glanced on ether side
. numb feeling of terror came over me,
for saw that was tied across railroad
track. In frenzy of despair 1 shouted
for help, but the place was evidently a
very lonely one, for no response came.
Then l struggled with all my might, and
an ecstatic Joy sent the blood rushing
through my veins as l felt my hands
loosen, and finally l was free. 1 arose
to my feet and looked around
and as l did so 1 felt something trick
ling down my face, and putting my
hand to my head felt that I had been
wounded. As soon as 1 could locate
myself found that I was on the Santa
Fe track on the river front, and started
for uptown and found my way here
Now give me bed, for feel sick and
sore."
The hotel man suggested that
ioe iormed P0of ef ths ls but
Doctor Kellogg said no, that the affair
was over and he did not want to create |
a sensation. A room was accordingly
given to him and he retired, and after
dressing his wounds soon sank into a
comfortable slumber.
About II o'clock yesterday morning a |
lady appeared at the hotel Office and |
asked if DIR. Kellogg we're in the |
house. She was informed that he |
was, whereupon she requested to /
see him, stating that she
was his wife. 1t seems that the doctor |
had promised to be home on Monday !
evening, and as the evening grew into |
the night and still he did not arrive, she
grew anxious for his safety, and decided
to come to town on the first morning |
train and seek him. She was very much
overcome when informed of what had
happened to her husband, who was at
once awakened and informed OF her ar
rival. The two left on the after
noon train for home, declining to
lodge any complaint with the police.
Doctor Kellogg has been resident OF
Alhambra for q long time past and has a
high standing in both social and profess
sional circles, so there is no reason why
the truth of his remarkable statement
should be questioned. He says that he
was not drinking on Monday, and those
who know him say that he is always
most temperate in his habits.
