Mrs. Tekla .Dortch, wife of John Dortch. living near Gardner Lake. in the town of Salem. was robbed of s1 TOO in cash and badly beaten early Wednesday evening on the road about a mile from her home by a masked man believed to be Andro Kurelcek who bought the Dortch farm two weeks ago. Kurelcek is missing from the farm and has left behind him his wife and two children. Deputy Sheriff Oscar H Main has learned that he was seen going past the Mitchell farm, walking at a fast gait, about ' o'clock Thursday morning. That is the last trace of the fugitive.
 Kurelcek and his wife, Sophia, came here from New York two weeks ago and bought the Dortch farm. which is known as the Stapleton place. The sum of $1, 800 was paid in cash and a mortgage note given for S1,775, payable Oct. 1 1922. The money stolen from Mrs. Dortch by the masked man was $1,700 of the cash that Kurelcek had paid over for the farm, and it is believed that he had sickened of his bargain and took this way of get ting his money back.
 Since the New York mXn and woman bought the farm and moved in two weeks ago, Dortch and his wife have stayed at
 
 ber. Dortch, meanwhile, had been carry ing the money around with him, but tive days ago passed over $1,700 to his wife while the mortgage was assigned to him The money was in four bills, one of $1 900. one of $500. and two of $1o0. Mrs. Dortch had the money in hel pocket Wednesday afternoon when sh, went to make a call on neighbor acrosl the lake. She started to walk home abou o'clock, and had reached a lonely spo in the road when a man with a big cal pulled down over his face jumped iron the. bushes and attacked her. She put u
