2 TRUCkMEN
ARE ATTACKED
BrutaIIy Beaten by 5 Thugs;
One Loses Eye

Search was being made by sherifrs
deputies today for five thugs who
asst night attacked w. J. Clark and
A. stutz. non-union truckmen for the
Barton Packing company, dealing
them a terrible beating with a
wrench and hammer.
Ono Of stutz' eyes was gouged out
and an arm and several of hts ribs
broken. Clark was knocked uncon.
scious. Both were left for dead
alongside the Tacoma highway near
Renton Junction. where the attack
occurred. The five men fled In an
automobile.
Clark, the driver. and Stutz. his
helper. were returning TO Seattle
after their daily meat delivery in
Tacoma. II was about 10 O'Clock.
Nearing Renion Junction they
noticed they were being followed.
At a lonely point In the road the
drew up beside the truck
kpd the five men sprang out. They
scrambled aboard the truck and
sprang at the two men in the seat.
Muttering a curse one Of the five
men swung at 1ldfhb nfau Win ~
heavy wrench. His hold on the
steering wheel relaxed and he
slumped down in the seat uncon.
scious.
Another dealt Stutz a blow with
a hammer with such force that he
was toppled out into the roadway.
The three others jumped on him
and kicked and beat him until he
was apparently lifeless.
Some time later when Clark re-
covered his senses the men and
their car had disappeared. He
placed his unconscious assistant In
the truck and drove on into the
city. Stutz was taken to the county
hospital In another Barton company
machine.
Deputy sheriffs reported that
union truck drivers are on strike
at the Barton plant against a is
per cent wage cut.
