distance from the Clark homestead, near
which were several large strawstacks.
Just as his feet struck the ground there
was a flash and report of a pistol and
young Clark sank to the ground Two
men, be says, grappled with him and took
from him nearly $3.50 cash, but they did
not touch his watch. The men hurriedlv
fled, but Clark was so stunned and injured
that he was unable to alarm those in the
house near by, and when found yesterday
morning he was nearly dead from pain and
exposure. When asked ii he knew his
assaIlants he declined to answer.
Clark Is the man who a few years ago
had a shooting scrape in this city with
Hez Ritchey, when he displayed so much
nerve and GOODNESS as TO excite the wonder
and fear of all who saw the occurrence.
1t is reported that he had quarrel with
some one in this CITY on Saturday and
suspicion points to this party as the as
sallant, inasmuch as Clark was recently
married and had borrowed $3.50 on that
day, which fact was known to this party.
