Two Farmers Assaulted
and Robbed.
ONE HAS DIED AND THE OTHER
is SERIOUSLY INJURED.

Last Wednesday night about Z
o'clock as Gustave Schmidt and Joe
Benes We're returning to their homes
In the 90 lntry, driving two horse
wagon, they were assaulted and
badly bea.en by some unknown
party or parties, about one and u
half miles from town, The whole
affair is shrouded in mystery and
no clew to the perpetrators can be
had. Both men were knocked in
sensible by blows OH the head, MIR.
Schmidt recovered sufficiently to
drive or lead the team home, while
Mr.. Benes lay insensible in the
wagon, his head III pool Of blood.
Mr.. Benes never recovered con.
seriousness and died Saturday morn
ing from the injuries inflicted. Mr..
Schmidt is also IN a precsrous con-
dition and has only partially tecov-
cred his mind. During his lucid
intervals he made the following
statements: He says that he and
Mr.. Benes left town together about
/ or 100 o'clock and when about
one and one. half miles from town,
n party whom they took to be a
negro. hailed them and asked per-
mission 10 ride und he climbed into
the back part of the wagon. Shortly
after this something went wrong
with some pnrt OF the harness and
Mr.. Schmidt stopped the team and
got out to fix it. While doing this
he heard Mr., Benes h0ller and
fall back i'll the wagon. Some one
then struck him a severe blow on
the head from behind and he fell to
the ground Unconscious. When he
recovered consciousness, he immed-
iataly started to get back into the
wagon and found Mr.. Benes lying
in the bottom Of the wagon with
his head in pool of blood. He
tried to revive him, but could not
do so, and he then attempted to
drive the team home, but found the
lines cut or broken. He then got
out of the wagon and lead the horses
home. Upon reaching home Mr..
Benes was taken from the wagon
still unconscious.
An examination disclosed six or
seven bad wounds on the head,
made by some heavy, blunt instru-
ment, apparently sixshooter. Mr.,
Schmidt has also several bad wounds
in the head, one of which, tits feared,
will prove fatal, az the scul is par
TALLY fractured. Nothing whatever
is known of the affair, except what
Mr.. Schmidt tells. The officers are
on the hunt for some clew, but thus
far none has been obtained. The
negro who was riding in the wagon
at the time, has disappeared and
nothing has been seen or heard OF
him.
