(From the Hawthorne Bulletin)

(From the Hawthorne Bulletin)
Word reached Hawthorne TO-DAY
that an old Chinese known as Charley
Travis was badly beaten and robbed
in Aurora last night.

They found that Charley Travis, who
has charge OF the old store OF A. A.
Travis, had been assaulted by two
men about eight o'clock last night
near his cabin door, and beaten over
the head until unconscious. When
the officers arrived they foud him on
his bed. his head and face battered
and swollen past recognition. He
said he was struck on the head by an
assailant, whom he did not see. owing
to the darkness. and he had no idea
who attacked him.
4After tying his hands and feet
the men took what money he had i'll
pocket-about $500 Everything i'll
the cabin was. in great confusion,
tables and chairs overturned, bureau
drawers and trunks ransacked and the
contents scattered about the floor
There was about 5000 in tobacco
sack in the room that the thieves
overlooked
Owing to the swollen condition of
the patients head, the doctor was un-
able to dertermine the exent of the in
jurics, but does not think the skull is
fractured and hopes to save the mans
life, although he is iii a very precari-
Gus condition,
Sheriff Balzar has Il posse and
skilled trailers in pursuit of the
thieves, and it is hoped they will be
captured.
The injured man has lived for many
years in Aurora and was general
lavoritc with the people there. who
are naturally indignant over the cow
ardly and brutal assault.
Sheriff Balzar and District Attorney
White Of Mineral county were in Yer
ington and surrounding towns several
days this week Mr.. Balzar says he
followed certain autompbile tracks
from the scene OF the assault into
Yeringtop, but he, with the assistance
OF Yerington officers was unable to
locate the culprits

This action. which was taken to
prevent the spread of the influenza
which now claims over 30 patients il
the city limits. meets with the appro-
val of the County Board of Health
The purpose of the order is to pre-
vent the spread of this epidemic. but

operation OF the people themselves car
not be secured The doctors, City
Board of Health and the County
Board of Health are working to
gether on this matter, but even they
cannot secure the fullest measure OF
success unless the people are with
them
