met him. Mr.. Fishter related his ex-
perience and the police were notified.

Fishter had bad bruise on the back
of his head evidently having been
struck by some soft weapon such as a
sand bag or black jack. Efforts of the
police to find a clue have been unsuc-
cessful. Mr.. Fishter did not see the
man who attacked him and is therefore
unable to give any description Police

attack on the old man as his pockets
were not emptied and the plant was
not entered.
