not only relieved of all the valuables

most cowardly manner
According 20 his story he was re-
turning home from work and had al
most reached his gate, when two men
sprang out upon him from behind a
tree and with drawn revolvers com
manded him to throw up his hands.
Borland, acting upon the impulse of the
moment, yelled loudly. The next in
slant he was feled 10 the ground by
a vicious buow from the butt end of
heavy gun Not content with this, the
other hold-up beat him over the face
until Portland was nearly unconscious.
They then went through ~ pockets,
taking gold watch, $3.50 In cash asd a
valuable elk tooth Borland begged
that the tooth be returned to him as 1t
was a present and treasured very high
ly BY him one OF the thugs raised the
gun to strike again, but Boreland
asked him not to strike as he had been
beaten enough already. The thug low.
cred the weapon but threatened to
shoot II any more noise was made,
when the thugs had finished they
ran northward block and disappeared
Several persons who were passing ran
TO Borlands assistance and took him

dressed. The police were notified ofjthe
