to attend the fruit fair, was pretty rough
ly used by highwayman in the falls
city Wednesday night, Lanning went
to the N. p. depot early in the evening,
expecting TO come home on the night
freight, and while there he made the
acquaintance of man who wore G. A.
r. button, and who claimed TO be an
old soldier, Mr., Lanning being an old
veteran himself. The stranger proposed
that they walk to the freight depot, but
they had gone only short distance
along the dark track, when Lanning was
knocked insensible by stunning blow
on the head. When he came to again,
it was nearly morning, and he found that,
his money, about SIG, and check for
S11 we're missing. He reported at once
to the police and from the description
given by him, his assailant was speedily
arrested. The man who had done the
sand bagging and robbing proved to be
Dennis O'Brien, an ex-pugilist, and it is
apt to go pretty hard with him. Mr..
Lanning was considerably bruised about
the head, but was not seriously injured.
