A sATUF DAY NIGHT HOLD

r w Troutman, clerk at the
West side Drug Store was the vic
tim Of dastardly attack Saturday
night. Mr.. Troutman is very
modest, and, desiring to avoid pub
licity, kept the matter quiet, tell
ing only a few intimate friends.
1t was also hoped that some clue to
the perpetrators Of the deed would
be found.
Mr.. Froutman left the store
about o:25 and started to drive
home. He was driving slowly, his
mind being absorbed in thinking
about his father who has been very
/ i'll in another state. AT 4th and
Minnesota avenue, his horse SHE'D,
Mr.. Troutman grasped the lines,
before he could glance around, he
was struck by some rough instru-
ment in the face, which knocked
him from the buggy and rendered
him unconcious. When he re-
gained conciousness he was lying
on the ground with the reins in hi:
hand. He reached home abou
1o.45 with very indisunct recollec
t tions Of what had happened. I
was ) o clock the next morning be
fore he was able to relate his recol-
lections.
e Fortunately Mr.. Froutman ha'
b put his watch, diomond ring an,
E stud IN the safe before leaving til
Z store and he had nothing Of valu
on his person except some smal
4 change
+ There is no clue whatever as t
his assailants. Mr. Troutma
suffered greatly all day Sunday H
I. still bears two ugly scars on hi
face as the result Of the attack up
on him.
