SANDBAGGED And ROBBED
A Stranger From Texas Assaulted
by Two Thugs.

Isadore Ephriam Trusted Slran-
gers to Convey Hin There.

Isadore Ephriam, a prosperous clothing
| merchant. of san ntonio, Texas, w as Iured
into the park between Fifteenth street ana
the White Lot. by two white men, ON pre-
tense of directing him to his boarding
place, and then ssndbagged and robbed
him OF his gold watch, draft for $50,
a Masonic emblem, and $40 in money,
about 10 O'Clock last night.
Mr. Ephriam arrived in Washington yes
terday afternoon on his way to New York
city, on business trip. Thinking to re-
main few days in this city, for the pur-
pose OF sightseeing, he procured room
at clearinghouse, No. 916 Fifteenth
street northwest. Last night after dark
he went out alone to stroll about the
streets and walked up and down the
Avenue until nearly 10 O'Clock
Being unfamiliar with the city, when he
come to start for his lodging place he
discovered that he had lost his bearings
and was unable to find the way. Near
Fourteenth street and Pennsylvania ave
nue. he approached two fairly well dressed
men who were standing talking upon the
sidewalk, and politely requested them
to direct him to No. 916 Fifteenth street.
Come with US, we are going right past
there, and we. will show YOU" said one
of the men. With that the three walked
along the Avenue to Fifteenth street, and
there turned down toward the Monument
The men convRFsed pleasantly and the
Texan suspcioffed nothing wrong.
After walking about two squares Mr..
Ephriam askedi they were sure they were
going in the right direction, and upon be-
ing assured that they Were he continued,
and entered the park, thinking that he
was making short cut.
Upon reaching an isolated spot near
street one OF the, men quickly turned about
and struck the merchant a stunning blow
upon the forehead with blunt weapon,
thought to have been sandbag He was
stunned and fell2tothe ground, whereupon
the robbers quickly rifled his pockets.
They then fled rapidly in the darkness,
and as soon as Mr.. Ephriam was able to
recover himself he shouted aloud for hele.
His cries brought TO his assistance Mr.
Shinn, a lumber merchant, who was Just
leaving his officeo on Fifteenth street. With
Mr. Shinn's assistance the injured nan
mana eed to reach the Emergency Bos-
pital, about one block distant, where bis
wounds were dressed by Drs Turner,
Hooe and 0Conner.
Mfr. Ephriam is one-armed man and
was consequently helpless to ward off he
blows of the thieves. He was sent to a
ward. and Policemen Flather, Schuyler
and Kilmartin started out to run down the
robbers.
Mr. Ephriam was able to give a good
description of the men, but aside from
this there is no other clue for the Off
GERS to work upon. Mr. Ephriam's condi-
ton is not dangerous, but he will be con-
fined at the hospital Tor several days.
