retired sea captain, was married yesterday in

while looking after these matters met Miss
Augusta Haberlandt, who lives at All West Full
ton street. 1t was a love match from the start,
and the captains visits to the charming lady
were frequent and late. Saturday night he lin
gered longer than usual, in fact until the Lake
street cars had stopped, and the street was de

on the corner of Lake and Ada streets, the cap
tain went into saloon near by to be directed
to Madison street. Here he took a glass of beer
and exposed large roll of money
when he paid for it. Soon after he
left the saloon and walked south on Ada street.
Near Randolph he was suddenly Sandbagged
and robbed of $50 and q fine diamond ring.
There were four of the sandbaggers, three of
whom were in turn attacked by the old sea cap
