Smith, postmaster at Loomis, a town
seven miles north of here, had closed
his office, he was stopped by two
masked men as he stepped into the
street and ordered to throw up his
hands.
The robbers went through Smiths
pockets and got about $3.50 in cash and
checks and a watch. They marched
the postmaster and his wife, who was
with him, into the postoffice and forced
open the safe and secured $40 IN
stamps.
The robbers made their escape be-
fore any alarm could be given, as the
town is small and but few persons
were out A Milwaukee passenger
train went through few minutes af-
ter the robbery was completed, and it
Is thought the men got away on it.

Suffers Severe Accident.
Since April I, when young Ziegler
suffered from a distressing accident, he
has been laid up. A few weeks ago he
had only a bare chance to survive an
operation performed by one of New
York's best known surgeons. To-day
the boy, always vigorous and strong,
is a waste of the sturdy young fellow
who started a pillow fight on April l
in his fathers home which since has
taken him to the operating table on
three different occasions.
On March 81 Ziegler came home with
two schoolmates in the Browning
school. The boys anticipated the COM
ing of All FOOLS day. Several jokes
had been planned for the benefit Of
Mr. Ziegler's valet. The valet slept
in the room with the boys, on cot
between the brass beds. The day had
hardly begun when Ziegler awoke his
