HIGHWAY ROBBERY
John Draper Sandbassed and
Robbed of $40 on Eve of
Wedding Day.

Monday evening at about O'Clock,
John Draper, who resides north of
Murdock and who was returning from
Kerkhoven, was met at the willows,
one mile east of town, by two men
and ordered to hold up his hands.
Upon obeying the command he was
slugged on the back OF the head and
knocked unconscious, and while in
that condition was robbed of seven
bills Of S20 each. Nothing else was
taken. He was bound hand and foot
with fence wire, also gagged with q
handkerchief. He was left on the
ground. When he recovered consci-
BUSINESS he rolled himself to the edge
of the road where be was found by
Gust Holsten, who was on his way to
the old Forsyth farm.
! Draper was brought to town where
he reported the robbery. At present
it is believed that the robbers escaped
on one Of the freight trains that were
going east at about the time of the
robbery.
Draper says that one of the men was
tall and was smooth faced and wore q
long ulster. OF the other man be
could not give any description, as this
man stood behind Draper. The police
OF both Kerkhoven and Wil:mar were
notified, but no arrests have been
made.
Another theory Is that the robbers
were aware that Draper had that
amount of money with him and way
laid him at the point mentioned above.
Draper went to Kerkhoyen to get
some things that he could not procure
here anent his wedding day, which
happened Tuesday evening, when he
was married to one of John Fost's
estimable young daughters.
This was serious loss to the your q
man on the eve of his wedding day,
as after his marriage he and his wife
intended to remove to Minneapolis,
where, we understand, he hes secured
z position.
Up to the present there are no clues
to the robbers -Murdock Voice, 18th
