over the head with the butt of the

Rumors are thick in Ormsby as to

that he leaves $4,000 insurance, the
property on which he lived and
many stocks in different concerns.
Among these stocks are some of the
Sumner Engine company and the
Fairmont Brick and Tile company.
That he had planned this crime

time in July, but owing to the fact
that roomers who were employed on

at the house, il was impossible for

Pair of Bandits.
Richard Wood of this city while
driving his auto in a dark ravine on
the main highway near the bridge
across Minneopa creek just below the
falls last night at 1880 was held up
by two highway men and robbed OF
his watch and all the money he had
on his person. Just as Mr.. Wood as
cended the hill leading down into the
hollow mentioned, two men jumped
out Of the dark along side of the road
near the bridge and said: "Stick upu
your hands" Mr.. Wood, who was
taken completely of his guard, obey
ed, and the highway men robbed him
as stated and then disappeared in
the brush. The watch was a good
timepiece, being a Burlington special
with a gold chain.
Deputy Sheriff e. Klugherz and Mr..
Wood visited the scene of the holdup
this morning, but were unable to find
any clues which might lead to the
identity of the thieves. Mr. Wood is
not able to give an acurate descrip-
