a farm In northern Iowa. was blnkoed

West Liberty to make some invest
ments in that place, and that incident
ally he was short just $40, which
amount 1t would be necessary for him

Maquoketa, July 25.--Two safes in
the office of Hursts lime works We're
blown Tuesday morning or very late
Monday night and SIG secured. The
robbers were found at their work by
a night fireman, Rasnus Casperson by
name, who asked what they We're
about. He was Immediately attacked
by the robbers, who commanded him to
keep quiet. They struck him with the
butt of their revolvers until he fell to
the ground. Before he fell he noticed
there Were three men, one working ut
the big safe with dim light and the
other two evidently standing guard on
the outside. After they had Knocked
him down he shouted for help, when
the fellow working on the safe in the
office said he would fix him so he would
make no noise. The fellow then jumped
upon Caspersons breast and stomach
until he became Unconscious. Then
filling his mouth and eyes with sand
and also stutfing large red handker-
chief into his mouth they picked him
up and carried him for hundred feet
or more to a box car, where they threw
the body into the car and locked the
car on the outside. Casperson finally
revived enough to get the sand and
handkerchief out of his mouth. but
dared not make any further noise for
fear they would return and finish him.
He was not discovered until 4 O'Clock
tuesday, when he was nearly suffo-
Gated. A surgeon was at once called
and restorat ives administered. He was
terribly bruised and beaten requiring
several stitches to close the wounds.
The ROBBERS are believed to have been
following Pawnee Bills Wild West
Show. which exhibited here Monday.
The mills are owned by ex-senator
Hurst. and he will offer a large reward
and make every effort toward the APP
prehension of the robbers. Casperson
is unable to give II thoroughly dis
tinguishing description of the men.
