Tale Of Woe Told By TiIer
From Iowa State
TAKEN TO A HOSPITAL
NeIs Martins0n Was Attacked,
He Claims, BY Two New
Acquaintance
From EridaY's Daily.

Nels MartinSon, twenty three years
old, claiming to be from IOWA, and
calling himself tiler by trade, lies
at ST. Joseph's hospital, nursing d
badly battered head, with severe
cut under the left eye.
He says he was set upon and
robbed OF all the money in his
pocket, about $27, in an alley near
Second and Main streets, last even
ing about 1920 o'clock. He says the
crime was committed by two new
acquaintance, whom he had met in
a saloon about an hour before.
Martinson says he had been with
the two men about an hour, drinking
from time to time, and eating sand
witches. Sometimes one would do the
buying and sometimes another. Aft
er a time they started out to take a
walk. After walking several blocks
here and there, his two companions
went into the alley and he went with
them, asking: What are you going
in here for?'
Was Struck and He Fell.
At this one of the men struck him
and he fell. He attempted to rise and
another blow in the head. Then he
settled down as if unconscious,
though he was not, and felt the men
go through his pockets. AS soon as
the two had left him, he rose to his
feet and hurried to a saloon where
he had been. He could feel the blood
trickling down his face. At the saloon
he was washed up, and here the po-
lice were called. The man was re-
moved in a physicians auto to ST.
Joseph's hospital.
A piece of glass was found in the
wound under the left eye and the
doctor thought the man might have
been hit there with a glass bottle.
Martinson said one of the men was
five feet four or five inches tall and
the other was about five feet seven
or eight inches. Both were young
men. The shorter of the two had
light hair and the other was rather
dark. Neither was very stout. He
says he could identify them if he
ever saw them again.
Martinson was intending to take a
train that evening for Iowa, but his
acquaintances kept telling him there
was plenty of time. He said he was
somewhat under the influence of
LIQUOR. or their talk would not have
fooled him so easily.
