TOWN TREASURER
Is ROBBED
VIM. West, Treasurer of the. Town
of Cary, Reports Loss of
Money to Police.
TWO MEN HELD HIM UP
Attacked by Two Woodsmen While
Walking on Scott & Howe
Company's Spur.

VIM. West, treasurer of the town
Of Cary, reported to the police last
week Friday afternoon that he wa,
held up and robbed of a considerable
sum Of money by two men dressed as
wocdsmen. The assault and robbery
occurred on the Scott & Howe Lum-
Der company's railroad spur south
Of the city.
Mr.. West exhibited bump on his
head and scratches on his hands as
evidence of mistreatment at the
hands of the robbers
He reported that he had $1,000 in
cash and a check for $9488 on his
person, all of which was taken by the
robbers.
According to Mr.. Vests story he
left his residence in the town Of
Cary shortly after dinner last Friday
and started for town, having in mind
to settle tax matters with the county
treasurer, and for that reason took
with him tax money which had been
raid to him as treasurer. He wished
TO visit a farmer living in the eastern
mart Of the township on his way to
town and for that reason decided to
walk on the spur of the Scott &
Howe Lumber company which runs
from the company's mill to woods
operations south of the city. When
about halfway to town he noticed
TWO men walking on the track to-
wards him. They were dressed as
woodsmen, both of them wearing
maclnaws, and Mr. West paid no
more than ordinary attention to
them. When about to pass the men
Mr.. West stepped to the outside of
the right hand rail. Just as they
were passing the larger man, who
was walking between the rails, sud-
denly stuck his foot in front of Mr..
West and struck him on the head,
knocking him down. Both of the
men then bounced on him, said Mr..
West, pushing his overcoat over his
head end holding him down, in the
meantime relieving him of the big
roll Of bills, the check, his watch and
feVOWef.
Mr. West said he had a revolver
IN his right hand hip pocket. During
the struggle he made efforts to reach
his gun, but this the robbers prevent
ed. The robbers took the gun and
fired one shot in the air, he said
Mr. West carried the big roll of
bills under his shirt He believes
that he was struck on the head with
some sort of instrument in the hand
Of the larger man. as quite a bump
on his head resulted. His hands were
scratched in the struggle to gain
possession Of the revolver.
After relieving him of his valuables
the robbers ran away, said Mr.. West,
but on account of being dazed and
nearly exhausted he was unable to
give chase. In the afternoon he
came to town and reported the mat
ter TO the police. He was able tc
