On the night of the 18th G. r.
Wheeler was the victim of two
hold-ups in his store. He had
just blown out his lights to leave
the store when faced by two
robbers, one of whom whacked
him over the head with his gun,
cutting a deep cash. Wheeler
then handed up the dough in the
way OF his pocket book with it's
contents, somewhere about
500, and the hold-upS took it and
went their way in peace. Mr..
Wheeler then fell to the floor in
faintness. AS soon as he revived
he phoned to Springfield for
help, and r. G. Cotton, Sheriff
Kett, Herb Homsher autoed over
but Wheeler not knowing how
the robbers came or how they
went, the sheriff could do moth;
ing but come back. Lamports
reported in the morning that
about 9 O'Clock two men reused
them up and inquired the way to
Elkhart. Further than this is
not known.
