Robbery at Spokane,

Spokane, April robert G. Miller
tried to fight three masked holdup
men in his meat market at E1526
Sprague avenue and as a result nearly
had his face blown off in the fight
which followed He saved $3.50 he
had in his pocket as a result of his
plucky resistance. but $40 in cash and
about $40 in checks were taken from
the cash register. The attack was
made by the thugs just as the butcher
shop was being closed for the night.
Millers wounds are merely flesh
wounds, but they are spread pretty
much all over his face, making it look
like the raw meat which hangs in his
shop. Several bullet holes in the
walls are visible evidences of what
might have happened to the scrappy
butcher had the robbers aim been
better.

The Big Buffalo mine, in the Buffalo
Hump district, has been closed down
for an indefinite period. IL is stated
