Woodbridge. Aug. 23:-Residents
and police of this place are today
looking for two highwaymen who
yesterday afternoon lay in wait for
Isaac Flood a milkman of this place,
and after assaulting him in lonely
road back of Liddle's ice house, left
him unconscious in a wagon, first
taking pocketbook containing s65.
Flood is in serious condition today
ct his home in Metuchen road, suf-
fering from scalp wounds and Jacer-
ations of the face, inflicted by n club
in the hands of one of the highway
men.
Following the assault and hold
up, the men made their escape.
Floods inanimate form was left ly-
ing in the wagon where it had been
tossed, until the horse made its
way home. DR.. Collins, of this
place, was summoned and took sew
eral stitches in the injured scalp. He
Gays the victim will recover
Handkerchief concealed the faces
Of both robbers, but in attempting to
Flood tore the mask from the face
of one of his assailants. He believes
he recognized In him an eX-convict
who has been hanging about Wood
bridge for some time. The other
robber Is unknown to aim.
Evidently the robbers were ac-
quainted with Floods methods and
hours. They were sure, it appears
that they would not be interrupted
selecting one of the loneliest spots
On the road. The assault was COM
mitted in broad daylight, P. M. be-
ing--thes time Flood believes 1t 'oc-
Cured.
Flood conducts a milk route in
Woodbridge and Perth Amboy. Yes
terday afternoon he went to Perth
Amboy to make his semi-monthly
collections, and returned with $65.
About 3 o'clock he was leisurely
driving along the road on his way
home, when two masked men
jumped from the bushes. One bran
dished revolver, ordering the milk
dealer to surrender his money.
In the scuffie that ensued Flood
was struck numberless times on the
head and face by heavy club He
finally was rendered unconscious,
not, however, before he had gained
a glimpse of one of the highwaymen,
After securing the money, the rob-
bers threw their victims body into
the wagon and made their escape.
An hour or so later the horse and
wagon appeared at Floods home and
the surprised members of his fam
fly summoned medical aid.
Flood Is forty-five years old. He
is conscious today and it is believed
that he will recover. Justice Dunno
this morning detailed two men to
search for the robbers, and they are
now running down clue.
