found lying in a pool of blood at the
side of the road near the north woods
last evening. He was taken to Mercy
hospital where it was discovered that
he had four scalp wounds and a num-
Der of other minor injuries. That the

put up coed fight is evident, other
wise he would not have been beaten
up as his wounds show he was.
This morning the man regained con-
scious for few minutes and told the
physicians at his bedside of the rob
berry. He did not know who he was
and barely remembered facts. He
claims he had $3S in his pocket when
assaulted, $50 in one pocket and 50
in another. He was relieved OF the
$50 while the remaining So were over
looked by the highwaymen IN their
haste to make successful getaway.
The police are working on the case
but have no good clues to work upon
as the wounded man Is too dazed at
the present time to remember much
o anything. He Is at the present
time suffering with p slight concus-
sion Of the brain.
