BOLD ASSAULT AND ROBBERY.

Last night about Q o'clock Colonel L. n.
Woodcock was knocked down and robbed
at the crossing of Main street and Central
avenue right under q brig lat electric light.
The motorman of Fairview car found
him lying on the asphalt near the car
track and called to the people passing
when q large crowd soon gathered there
and it was found that the colonel had been
struck in the back of the head with some
instrument that had made large gasn
from which the blood was flowing freely
and that his watch has been
stolen. He was unconscious when
found and remained so for some time.
When he recovered he said he did not
know who hit him and that he saw no per-
son near him. so whoever it was must have
clipped up behind him; that he had come
down town after supper to get shaved and
make some little purchases. He said he
was starting toward the middle of the
street to catch q car when he was struck.
He was helped on u car and taken to his
home, at Fourteenth and Waco. The po-
lice secured the number of his watch at a
shop where he recently had it repaired,
and this is all the clue they have to the
identity of the robber.

TIE GANG AT WORK.

The EAGLE called attention to the fact
that gang of thugs and plug-ugles ar
rived in the city n few days ago. 1t was
thought that the discovery of their iden-
tity might Brighten them away, but it
seems it had not that effect. Last night
Colonel Woodcock was sand bagge1 on
Main street. under the glare Of an electric
lamp, and robbed Of his watch and what
ever money he had In his possession.
The previous night gang of burglars
broke into the store of Mr.. Emmons, on
East Douglas, and took away lot of
goods. 1t was also reported that man
h I'd been robbed of $50 on Second street.
and doubtless many other crimes have
been committed that have not been re-
ported.
There is some excuse for man stealing
a sack of coal to keep a sick wife from
freezing, but there is no excuse for the
sand Dagger and the burglar. They are
evidently transient scoundrels who make
it their business to prey on society for no
nobler purpose than to crafty their low
vices

A KIssER FROM WICHITA.
Judgs Glenn Went the White House IN
Wanted to Kiss Baby Ruth.

Judgs Glenn Went 10 the White House and
Wanted to Kiss Baby Ruth.
1t takes Wichita man to introduce
novel political tactics into the White
House at Washington. 1t is we'll known
that Judge Glenn is at Washington look
ing for an Office and yesterday in COM
pany with Senator John Martin visited
President Cleveland to press bis claims.
What took place is described in the follow
ing dispatch from Washington which
came in last night. The dispatch says:
Now. Mr.. President. ! cannot leave
town and feel satisfied without kissing
baby Ruth" said Judge A. A. Glenn, Of
Wichita. to Cleveland today.
1--WE do not care to bring cur family
matters into politics." promptly replied
the president
Senator Martin accompanied by Judge
Glenn had called to see the president with
the intention of pressing the claim of
Glenn for deputy second auditor of the
treasury. After they had the talk about
the place and were about TO leave the dia-
logue, AS stated. took place between the
president and Judge Glenn. Martin was
very much EMBARRASSED over the remark
dignant as to remark, "the judge made a
fool of himself"
The judge seems to have been of the
opinisn that it would be clever hit to
press that schems of kissing Ruth, and
went at it deliberately at the proper time.
Cleveland was somewhat surprised, and
the fact that an incident would surprise
president who il made the victim of every
conceivable scheme to catch favor shows
that il is something extraordinary. Only
the three men heard the Glenn proposition,
and 1t is stated that the president, for a
moment, looked like he would enjoy as.
