HIGHWAYMEN SLUG VICTIM
PatroIman Makes Quick Arrest of the
Men Charged With the
HoId.up

After a prolonged chase, two men
who were seen slugging and robbing
a half intoxicated man on Main street
between First and Second last night,
were captured and taken to the police
station by Patrolman Walsh.
The men gave their names as Harry
Hartsook and G. A. Davis. When they
were searched at the station over $3.50
was found on them. The man whom
they were seen to slug was also taken
to the station and treated at the re-
ceiving hospital. His head was badly
cut from blow with a slung shot.
Five witnesses will be produced to-
day at the hearing of the two alleged
highwaymen, and it is believed that a
strong case will be made against them.
When they were searched last night
neither one knew how much money
he had in his pocket, and as neither
was drunk that fact alone was con-
sidered most suspicious.
The injured man gave his name as
James Lowell, and, although he was
we'll dressed, did not have a cent in
his pockets.
