of Watch

TWO unknown men attacked
1 John Erickson, an employe
of the bridge and building de-
partment of the Rio Grande at
midnight last night, beat him
into insensibility and made away
with sos worth of jewelry and
about So in money. He did not
recover his senses until four
O'Clock this morning.
Erickson, who is a strappling
fellow of exceptional strength,
was returning to his outfit cars
in the lower part of the yard.
He was within nine or ten car
lengths of the bunk car when he
had two men spring on him
from behind. They had hidden
between two cars and struck him
before he had a chance to defend
himself. One dealt him a crush
ing blow across the side of his
head with sandbag or some
similar weapon while the other
gave him a terrific punch on the
nose. He remembers nothing
more until he came to himself
shortly before day break and
managed to crawl into his bunk
His fellow-employes gave him
first-aid treatment and today he
was able to come up town and
report the affair to the police.
The watch is one of peculiar
manufacture and he has the num-
ber so that it is unlikely that it
can be sold in this section with
out being identified. 1t was
worth approximately $50. The
chain and charm were solid gold
and were worth about $4s, ac-
eording to Erickson.
Erickson is we'll known in To-
cal railroad circles, having work
ed in the B. & B. department in
