Assaulted by Masked rIen

Last Friday morning about one
O'Clock, three masked men entered the
home of E. d. Sizer, at Sizerville, fore
ing open the front door with fence
rail. Two of the men proceeded to the
second floor, where Mr.. Geo. FL. Dodge
was sleeping, while the other chap
went into Mr.. Sizer's room. The two
attacked Mr.. Dodge striking him over
the head with a club, inflicting several
severe wounds on his head. Mr.. Dodge
clinched with one of the intruders
throwing him down stairs, at the same
time clinging to him. Mr.. Sizer and
wife were also cruelty dealt with, both
being clubbed and checked Mr.. Sizer
is an old man yet he tackled his man
and landed a good kick into his assaiI-
ant while getting out of bed. After
severely injuring ali occupants of the
house the intruders departed without
taking time to ransack the house. Mr..
Sizer had no fire arms with which to
defend his home and endeavored to get
stick Of wood, when he received a
terrible blow on top Of the head. Mr..
Miller, who resides across the road,
called Burdette Edwards and Chas. H.
Howard, who endeavored to follow
the scoundrels, but they had made
good their escape. The cause of the
assault is mystery. No arrests have
yet been made, except the retention of
some tramps, who were discharged.
From what we can learn, we believe
the guilty parties were we'll acquainted
with the premises. It is hoped the law
may get its hands unto the parties.
