Section Man Badly Battered and a Cab
Driver Stopped Near Fool Of Tyler
Street Last Night

Frank Hanlon, a section man who
has been In the employ OF the Den
yer road for twenty years and who
has been located lately on sec
tion near Clarendon, was the victim
OF what looks1to have been the work
of hold up sluggers last night
Hanlon, according to his story,
came here yesterday from on the
road and during the afternoon he
spent the time on the Bowery and at
various places. He admits having
taken several glasses of beer but
stoutly denies that he was intoxicat-
ed. Later in the evening, he went
down along the Denver track and
lay down to sleep near the Rock Is
land dump. Some time in the night
he walked up and started back up the
track toward the Bowery. When
near the marble yard he says he saw
someone with lantern and then
the next thing he remembers is COM
ing to his senses and finding his
head clotted with blood from cuts
and bruises over the skull. AS soon
as he could, he made his way to the
Bowery and from there was taken
down town where DR.. Shirley dressed
the wounds.
Just who struck the man, and for
what purpose is mystery. His
pockets we're not disturbed although
he had considerable cash with him.
He was perfectly sober when he was
found so 1t is not likely that the
wound was the result Of drunken
accident. His assailant, whoever he
was, may have been frightened away
before the hold-up could be COM
peted.
At about the time of the assault
on Hanlon, a cab driver was accost-
ed at the same place by two men
who commanded him to halt saying
that they might as well get what
you have, too" The cab driver gave
a cut to his horses and ran for it.,
Nothing further of the men was seen
and there is little clue to their
identity. 81. W
