cluded to visit closet in the rear
of the saloon. He stepped out the
back door. Just as he did so
heavy blow struck him on the chest,
knocking him over. but the assail-
ant grabbed him by the pockets OF
his trousers, and tearing and rip
ping the cloth down the side of his
pants extracted the purse contain
ing the $3S before Maroon recovered
sufficient to yell for help. How
ever, Maroon called before the rob-
Der got away, but no one respond
ed He again yelled for help, but
the highwayman was disappear
ing down the alley when help
arrived in the person Of Eohrenz,
who had been reading paper in
the front part of the saloon, and
who, after hearing Maroon's tale
stated that when he first heard the
man call he supposed that he: was
doing so in fun.
The robbery was reported to the
police, and Chief Crooks commenced
an investigation, but with no sue
cess. At one time Friday morning
the chief was certain that he had
the robber. An itinerant was in
town the day before and was asking
for money. He appeared to be in
desperate circumstances. On Thurs
day evening, about eight o'clock,
after negotiating loans amounting to
, so cents, and passing some time in
saloons, he went to the Canada
House, where he engaged bed for
the evening, paying 20 cents on the
same, agreeing to pay the other five
cents when he left the next morn
ing The fellow arose early, how
ever, and was out of the hotel before
anyone else was up. He was traced
to Morgan, where he was searched
from head to foot; but Marshal
,Gerstman of that town could find
no money on his person and he was
not detained. The description Civ
en- by Maroon of the man who held
him up Tailed exactly with the des-
cription of this itinerant.
On Friday morning the man hav-
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1899-11-29

ing charge of the barn in the rear
of Lohrenz' saloon found purse,
and this proved to be Maroon s.
There was no money in it. The
highwayman was shrewd enough
not to carry the purse with him and
thus carry proof of his being the
guilty party, but as soon as he COM
mitted the crime, he pulled the
money from the purse and threw it
to the ground while he was running.
Maroon states that the money con-
sisted of $40 bill, $40 bill, s.
bill, and the remainder in silver.
The 500 was marked in such a man
ner that Maroon can easily identify
it.
The money taken from Maroon
was about all that he had, and mas
much as he has a wife and three
children depending upon him the
robbery makes the case decidedly
pathetic. He had sold about all of
the goods he had with him, while in
Morgan, and came here to get new
consignment which had been shipped
to him G. 0. D. at North Redwood.
The money stolen from him was to
pay for the consignment. He was
in The GAZETTE Office Friday and
Saturday hoping against hope that
some trace of the robber would be
secured, and when the search was
given up Saturday he said that he
did not know just what he would do.
