F. B. Comstock has reported to the
police that, on Tuesday night, he was
held up by highwaymen and robbed on
the East side. Mr.. Comstock says he
was going home. and was near Twenty
fifth avenue northeast and Buchanan
street, when he was suddenly seized
around the neck from behind and struck
violent blow in the pit of the stomach,
by which he was rendered helpless.
The assailants then went through his
pockets. took his watch and chain, 81 in
money, and his diary and bill book.
Here are the keys. anyway" said one
of the men. My Comstock can just re-
member being struck terrible blow in
the neck, and then he was insensible,
he knows not how long. He still feels
the effects of the blow. The same
night several stores in the vicinity were
tempered with, but entrance was not
effected. Mr.. Comstock believes that
he was mistaken for one of the store
keepers. and that the footpads were af-
ter the keys to the store, hence the re-
mark which the man made. The police
have no clue to the robbers.
