Story of Crime.

Sam Shafer, the well-known livery
man. and Jay J. Smyth, an equally
wellknown resident of Cedar Rapids,
were held up by highwaymen last
night and brutally beaten about the
head by blunt instrument. Mr..
Smyth was held up at First avenue and
Seventh street at $50. Mr.. Shafer
was held up at 1905 at the corner of
Fourth avenue and Third street. In
each case there were three men, one
taller and heavier than the other two,
carrying big gun. The two smaller
men had clubs or iron bars. 1t is sur
missed by some that the two hold-ups
We're done by the same trio of Grimm
ais, though the brief interval Of time
and the distance between the locations
tends in great measure to disprove
such a theory. The thugs got no
money in either case, people running
to the assistance of both gentlemen,
and frightening the footpads away.
Mr.. Smyth has an ugly bruise and cut
over his right eye and cash about
an inch long on the top of his head
Mr.. Shafer has a fearful cash, five
inches long, on the top of his head on
the right side. 1t is probable that the
robbers would have kept up their work
until both men had received fatal in
juries had it not been for the timely
appearance of help.
