PARTICULARS OF THE ASSAULT
ON DIR. FORSYTH.
Badly Beaten and Cut While in Pro-
fessional Attendance on a
Wounded Korean.

The State Department has received de-
tailed report from Minister Allen, dated at
Seoul Korea, of the facts connected with
the assault by robbers upon missionary
doctor of the Southern Presbyterian Church
of Nashville, Tenn, DR.. Forsyth. This
missionary has brother living in this city,
who some time ago sought the intervention
of the State Department in this case. and
copy of Minister Aliens report has been
sent to him. In the opinion of the State
Department officials it shows clearly that
everything possible was done by the United
States minister and the Korean and Japan
csc authorities to succor the wounded mis-
sionary and to punish his assailants.
Attacked at Mankol, Korea.
Mr.. Allen says the attack occurred near
the open port of Kunsan, south of Seoul,
at village called Mankol on the early
morning of March II, DIR. Forsyth having
gone to that place to assist professionally
a Korean who had been similarly attacked.
The doctor was in a critical condition on
March 10 when last heard from. Mr.. Allen
says the Korean authorities seem to have
done all in their power in the case, ana
they were assisted by Japanese policemen
from kunsan, for which assistance Mr.. Al
len had thanked the japanese minister.
In letter to the Korean foreign office
Minister Allen says that on. the evening
of March Ii he had a telegram from Kun
announcing that an American, DR..
Forsyth, had been beaten by robbers at a
place 80 Ii from Kunsan; that he sent his
interpreter at once to the foreign office,
which telegraphed Instructions to the local
magistrate, which were promptly carried
out, to render all possible assistance In the
matter. The details of the assault were as

Special to Times Republican
Fort Dodge, Dec. Tt is estimated
that clairvoyant giving the name of
Tyler victimized Fort Dodge people
out of no less than $500 last week.
Complaints were made to the police
yesterday and an investigation started.
Tyler advertised to recover lost arti-
cles, giving advice as to the future,
tell the past, patch up love quarrels,
etc.
One lady visited Tyler to learn how
to act in some mysterious matter. He
told her to secure two ten dollar bills
and five dollar bill and to bring them
to him in neat silk package. This she
did, and he hung the sack about her
neck, telling ner to return in two
weeks. She felt no uneasiness be-
cause she could feel the bills in the
sack. Others had the same trick play
ed on them. Tyler would request them
to bring two twenty dollar gold pieces
or a couple Of bills Of some denomt-
nation. When this was done he would
place them in sack and tie it about
the neck Of the person, telling them
to return in two weeks. On the APP
pointed day about twenty-five persons
gathered at Tyler's place, and he was
found to have flown. Examination of
the silk sacks disclosed the fact that
instead Of bills they contained wads
of paper and instead Of gold pieces
two half dollars.
Those who played the sucker act
kept quiet about the matter, but 1t
came to the notice OF the police by a
woman calling them over the phone.
Some five or six of the parties that
were taken in have been visited by Po-
liceman Long and in each case they
have begged him to withhold their
names. Chief Tullar has descrip-
titn Of Tyler and will forward the
same to the city marshals in neigh
boring towns.
