Man Was Injured.

Robinson and the rig were gone. Sup
posing that he had gone ahead, ] kept
straight on and found the rig. but
Mr.. Robinson was gone. 1t was very
foggy and | made my way back to
Groetz's. Mr.. W., s. Robertson called
me from Barberton by telephone and
stated that Mr.. Robinson had ar-
rived in Barberton and told me of his
condition. ] explained our situation
and he sent out rig for me. and |
arrived in Barberton after midnight.
Mr.. Robinson was attacked ON the
road by parties who thought he had
large sum of money. Owing to the
heavy fog he wus unable to see his
assailants and In addition he was
dazed by being struck a heavy blow.
He had less than a dollar in his pock-
cts. His watch was at home We
tried to hush up the matter because
Mr.. Robinson would have been unable
to identify his assailants. was not
robbed nor was l assaulted. Mr.. Rob
insop's condition is not SERIOUS"

former resident of Alton, is about to
receive pay for 81 months of service
he rendered the United States gov
eminent from June, 1868. to March.
1865. Mr.. Orr was an assistant en-
gineer in the Nnited States navy. and
shortly after he was appointed he
was ordered to travel to attend to
some duties which were placed upon
him. His commission never reached
him. and Mr.. Orr was never able to
get his pay. In June, 1865, he receiv-
ed n duplicate of his commission. but
upon it was written that the former
commission was annulled. Mr.. Orr
was therefore unable TO secure pay
for the Is months he had served be-
fore the duplicate arrived. Since
that time he has had interested i'm
his case many influential men, but
various causes prevented the pay
ment of the money.
Now Mr.. Orr's claim has been APP
proved by the court of claims and
by the president of the United States.
The claim now awaits the approval
of the secretary of the treasury. and
Mr.. Orr thinks he will get his back
pay IN Il short time. He is grand
tyler of the Illinois grand lodge, \.
