MEN HIT RALPH GAUCHE ON
HEAD, BUT HE SURVIVES

What the police believe to be one
of the most carefully planned hold
ups that has occurred in this city
for many months failed last night
because the intended victim had a
skull that was a little harder than
the thugs had anticipated.
Ralph Gauche, who was travel
ing through Spokane and who was
thought to have been carrying
large sum OF money, was met by
two negroes, who insisted on pilot
ing him to "house of amusement"
Gauche consented to go and was
led to the Northern Pacific rail
road tracks. He was, however,
somewhat suspicious of the ne
groes end watched them closely.
Just as the three of them reach
ed the track at the intersection of
Helena street one of the men
heaved an ingenious bludgeon
made of large stone in a sack
around his own head and let it fall
heavily on the dome" of the in
tended victim.
Gauche took to his heels and
headed for the police station,
where he reported the incident.
