ROBBED AND BEATEN.

Chicago, June 22.-Albert E. Elston
paymaster for the E. e. Aver Post and
Tie company was attacked by -four
robbers on the prairie near Leavitt
and 29th streets, last evening, terribly
beaten with revolvers, robbed of $45S
and left unconscious beside his buggy.
His assailants sped north with their
booty to the banks of the south branch
Of the river, sprang into a skiff and
pushed off for the opposite shore.
Their boat capsized in midstream just
as the lumber schooner w. L. Filler was
passing and the robbers saved them
selves from drowning by clambering
into the yawl that the schooner was
trailing.
Cutting the yawl loose from the
schooner the robbers succeeded in
reaching the opposite shore and es-
capped. Mr.. Elston was removed to
his home. He is 81 years old and his
age may interfere with his recovery.
