Held Up and Assaulted.
{. A. BENDER,
Clerk.

Jacob Strickland, a farmer residing
about two miles from Homecoming, this
county, on Savage mountain was held
up Saturday evening just after dark
while on his way home. His assailant
jumped out from behind pile of mining
props near Kingsland mine of the Mary
land Coal Company and struck him
over the eye with a heavy club. The
blow felled Mr.. Strickland to the ground,
and his assailant thinking he was dead
took to his heels. When Mr.. Strickland
regained consciousness, he managed to
return to Homecoming, where his injuries
were dressed. He has no idea who as
saulted him, but thinks that it was
some one who knew him. because he
had on his person large sum of money,
which was untouched. Robbery was
the apparent motive of the holdup, and
was probably done by some amateur
who fled when he thought his victim
was dead.
