KNOCKED DOWN AND ROBBED.
J. n Ingram of Monroe Has an Exciting Ex
periepce in Norfolk.
(Norfolk Pilot-Virginian.)

Norfolk -Virginian.)
A particularly bold highway robbery,
and one that has been kept out of the
rapers for fear that the assailant might
cscape. occurred in this city early Sun
day morning.
The alleged thief. Cyrene Fisher, was
arrested early Tuesday morning at MS
home. on Riley street, by Detectives
Heppel and Vest. and sent on to the
Grand jury yesterday in the Police
court.
j. N Ingram whom he is charged
with rotbing, said that he came here
Saturday from Kershaw, S. c., on bust
ness with the Union Stock Yards. He
secured board on Holt street, and after
suppcr went out in search of friend
who works at local meat packing es-
Enlistment. Being a stranger, he took
as q landmark for his return the illum-
mated sign at the corner of Holt and
Church streets. He failed to find his
friend and, on returning, must have
walked past Church street to Chapel. He
wandered down this and other streets,
trying to find his way, and late at night,
was compelled to accost negro and ask
for assistance. The negro readily agreed
TO helm him and walked him up and
down streets for some time. Seeing that
ne was getting no nearer to his destina-
ton, Mr.. Ingram grew suspicious and
started to leave his guide. AsJhe turned
on his heel, the negro struck him with
black jack and, threatening his life,
riled him of a revolver, $50 in cash and
q watch and chain. He lost conscious
| ness. When he recovered, he ran down
the street, finding in what he estimated
as about Ave squares the police station.
| lie was cared for there until the morn
| Ing. He had a bad bruise on the back
of his head and his face was badly
skinned.
From the distance from headquarters
| mentioned, and from the fact that Mr.
| Ingram remembered falling on a dirt
pavement, the detectives concluded that
the assault took place on Riley street.
| They searched Fishers house and found
| the articles stolen. Mr.. Ingram also
