AGED MAN BEATEN UP.

Claiming that he had been robbed.
Jacob Fuller, so years of age, of Den
yer, who has been working as an cleo
trician's helper at Shoshone, was
picked up on the river front at 1890
O'Clock Sunday night by Town Mar
shal Weidenhammer in a terrible con-
dition. Fuller had been attacked by
an unknown thug. who beat him into
insensibility. kicked him all over the
body, breaking the aged mans jaw in
two places. and left him lying uncon-
scious in deep snow bank
Fuller undoubtedly would have
frozen to death but for the timely ar
rival of the marshal, who found him
doubled up on the ground. The mar
shal revived the old man sufficiently
to half drag, half carry him to the of
flee of DR.. w. w. Crook where DIR. r.
c. Lyenbackh dressed his wounds.
According to Marshal Weidenham-
mer, Fuller is man of abusive tenn
perament and prone to be very quar-
relsome, and it is believed that he
provoked trouble with some ruffian,
who proceeded to administer an aw-
ful beating. Fullers body was a mass
of bruises. His scalp was badly lac
Grated and he sustained two fractures
of the Jaw.
Weidenhammer wanted to send
fuller to the hospital. but the injur-
ed man stubbornly refused to go
there. The marshal finally bought
hima ticket to Denver. where he said
he has relatives and friends.
