Bell, while wandering around town

got his searchlight focused on a young
lady who seemed to suit. He approach
ed and tried to begin conversation
with her, but met with the chilly
stare. Not dsunted he pressed
his suit. when the Young woman
sought refuge in flight, eventually
winding up at her home, Fourteenth

the young woman disappeared in the

Beaten to unconsciousness with his
jaw bone broken and with blood flow
ing from mouth, ears and nose, Oscar
Carlson was picked W by the police
in the alley between Sixteenth and
Seventeenth streets and near Second

to the station and after several hours
regained consciousness, but has so far
been unable TO tell what happened tc
him. He is now being cared for at the

Carlson. who is about 90 years of
age. conducts small truck patch in
the Highland addition, living alone.
Wedn esday he came downtown and
took aboard more intoxicants than he
was able to navigate with and was
locked up in the police station over
night. In the morning he paid a small
fine, leaving with s275 in his pocket.
When found he had more than 50 left,
showing the robbery was not the mo,
tive for the assault
The theory of the police is that
Carlson again became intoxicated and
remained in that condition till night
when he became involved in a quar-
! rel and got the worst of the argument
When he left the police station yes
terday he had a quart bottle of wills
key. which may have led to his sec
