Slugged by Footpads.

Saturday night about 10:3O as
Marcus Mccain was passing the
homie of FRANK Hendrix, on
North Maple street, on his way
home, two men stepped from be-
hind a large tree and one of them
struck him over the head with a
piece of gas pipe, cutting an ugly
cash about three inches long and
slightly stunning him. Mr.. Nc
Cam is not the sort of man to
submit tamely to such treatment
so he promptly closed with his as
sailant, threw him to the ground
and took the, gas pipe from him,
but before he could give him Il
taste of his own medicine by u.s.
ing the gas pipe on him, his pal
stuck gun in Mr.. Mccain S
face and commanded him to
throw up his hands. He prompt
ly complied with the command
and the two men went through
his pockets taking a small
amount of change and a pocket
knife. They then ran south and
disappeared.
Mr.. Mccain says that he does
not know the hold-up men, but
would easily recognize them
should he see them again as he
got good look at them as they
passed under a nearby street
lamp.
1t has been suggested that the
men were strikers or strike SYM
pathizers who mistook Mccain
for another man who has been
working in the railroad shops at
Nevada since the strike of the
railroad shop men.
