Of beating he had received by a
masked highwayman, who assaulted
him and robbed him near his doorstep
on Sunday night Not until yesterday
afternoon was II known how the young
man had come by his injuries. He then
returned to consciousness and related
the story OF his experiences.
The boy works in a downtown candy
store. He took the last car home sun
day night. He left the car within two
blocks Of his home. AS he was going
around the corner man approached
him and ordered him to throw up his
hands. Myers refused, when the thug
struck him on the head with a slung-
shot. That is all the lad remembers.
In some manner in which he cannot
remember he managed to crawl to his
home. He got on the porch and
scratched at the door. His mother came
to the door and then the boy fell in a
faint. He was carried into the house
and put TO bed. A doctor was called
and said that the boy was suffering
from blow. Just how 1t was received
1t was then not known. Later on the
lads clothing was examined and Il
was found that his pockets had been
turned wrongside out and that his
watch and all his money had been
taken.
The boy is in a critical condition at
this time, as It is feared that his mind
may be affected. The attending ply
sician hopes that by careful nursing
he may be brought about all right.
