"A HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
Joseph Bechman Assaulted and
Robbed on Saturday on the
Getty Road.

On Saturday evening last, while on
his way from this city to his home in
Getty Grove, Joseph Bechman, a
farmer was way-laid by two despera-
does, knocked from his load, pounded
into semi-unc and robbed
of something over ninety dollars In
money. He had been in tn. city dur
ing the afternoon, and had been drink
ing pretty freely. About seven o'clock
he started for home on load of wood,
and just north of the farm of Conrad
Botz, he was assaulted by man with
a club. Receiving a stunning blow
on the side of the head, cutting the
scalp. Hewas knocked from the load,
and as he struck the ground another
fellow on the other side of the sleigh
struck him in the face, presumably
with a club cutting his face. They
tore open his vest, stripping all the
buttons off the front of it, and took his
money from an inside vest pocket
indicating that they knew of the fact
of his having the money, and where
he carried it. His team ran away and
was found the next morning several
miles south on their way home-they
having stopped in the yard of F.
Unger. Bechman made his way
across the fields TO the residence of
Charles Dix, half mile east of where
the assault occurred. The next morning
he came to the city and put Deputy
Sheriff Murphy and officer Carr in
possession OF the fact. They have
slight clues to work upon but are doing
all within their power to discover the
perpetrators of the crime.
Mr.. Bechman had borrowed the
money in the city for the purpose of
payment on his farm. The
highwaymen silently follow him out of
the city to the place where they attact-
ed him.

tablespoonful of Graini-o to two cups of cold
water. Mix the Grain-O with half an egg
and add the water. (Be sure to measure
After the water gets to the boiling point let

A lady said: s'Ihe first time l drank
Grain, o did not like it, but after using it
for ten days and forming the habit, nothing
would induce me to 60 back to coffee" This
is the experience of all. If you will follow

AN EXPLANATION.

To the Editor of the Register.
Strive desire to say that the
finance committee of the intended SOL
diers' reunion, called to see us in re-
gard to our communication in last
Sundays Register, to say that they
had returned all the money subscribed
and turned over to them, and stated
that their book did not show that our
subscription was paid. But as our
daily cash transaction proved conclu-
sively that the money was paid by US
at the time we subscribed, they there
fore paid us the amount donated by us
on the same day they called to make
the investigation. Now, we wish to
say that it was not our desire or in
tention to cast any reflection on said
committee, but rather surmised that
the amount paid in was so small that
1t was consumed by legitimate ex-
penses or neglected; and we do not
know that money had been returned to
any contributors. We trust this will
make all things clear and understood

The Discount Sale Attracts Throngs {
Holiday Buyers.


The Discount Sale Attracts Throngs of
Holiday Buyers.
The 20 per cent discount sale inaug-
urated by Shelf Bros. last Thursday,
has been successful even beyond the
anticipation of the firm. Buyers are
naturally dubious about accepting as
true, offers of such sweeping cut in
prices, but Shelf Bros. reputation is
behind it, and Shelf Bros. reliability is
as good as a government bond. The
firm announced 20 per cent discount
on watches, diamonds and all other ar
ticles suitable for holiday presents.
Buyers ascertained, after looking about
other stores, that Shelf Bros. discount
sale is bona fide cut of 20 per cent
on the lowest selling prices of COMPETE
tors. This explains the remarkable
trade of the firm during the past few
days.
How and why is such remarkable
reduction made? is a question which
suggests itself to the holiday buyer.
Shelf Bros. have made the discount in
order to reduce their enormous stock.
In order to secure the benefit of the
lowest prices, they bought for cash in
lerge quantities. Everything was pur-
chased at rock bottom prices, and they
have determined to move their stock
between this time and the holidays.
The 20 per cent discount was offered
as a special inducement to early buy
ers, and with the certainty that Shelf
Bros. do exactly as they advertise,
purchasers have thronged the store
every hour of the day.
SNeff Bros. announce that they will
continue this extraordinary offer one
week longer.

SHUT DOW N.
Local Tin Plants, Which Have Joined
the Trust, Closed Down to Take
Stock.

The local tin plants, which have
been bought by the tin plate trust, have
closed down for week so that stock
may be taken, preparatory to turning
the plants over to the trust. The La
Belle tin mills shut down early yester-
day morning, and the tin department
of the Aetna-Standard also closed yes
terday. 1t is stated that the Laughlin
will continue running next week. The
fact that the plants have closed down
is proof that they have gone into the
trust, which fact was first published in
the Register several weeks ago. The
employees are much in the dark, but are
naturally strongly interested in the
change of control. The employees OF
the La Belle tin plant think that they
will have to ask for their jobs again
when the plants resume.

miles out of the city, TO watch the in
surgents. They appear to be getting
restless and are liable TO break out
any minute. If they do, we will give
them warm reception, as we are pre-
pared for them. They will realize they
are not fighting Spaniards when they
tackle US. We ran two Calling guns to
