John Salfer of New Avon and
Kathryn Salfer Brutally
Treated by Yeggs
SUSPECT LOCAL PARTIES
Leo Salfer Hears C0mmOti0n
Climbs Out of Window and
Runs for Help

Four robbers-three masked and
one unmasked-drove into the John
Salfer farm yard in New Avon town.
ship Monday evening, dubbed two
members Of the family with a loaded
rubber hose, forced them to hand
over $500 in currency and escaped in
a Model T Ford coach.
Mr.. Salfer and daughter Kathryn,
were slugged by the leader of the
gang when they resisted his order to
"shell out the money" They receiv-
ed severe bruises on their faces and
bumps on their heads.
Before leaving the house, the rob-
bers bound the hands and feet of Mr..
Salfer and his daughters, Kathryn
and Caroline and ordered them to lie
absolutely quiet for 20 minutes,
promising to return to see that their
orders were carried out.
An attempt to catch the thugs
made by three neighbors and son
who escaped through an upstairs
window failed. The men arrived at
the farm before the bandits left, con-
cealed themselves in the barn with
loaded guns and waited for the men
to appear.
Leave Car Running
The bandits car was stationed q
short distance from the men and was
running all the time the robbers were
in the house. The yeggs left the
house, got in their car and drove
away. Not positive that robbery
had taken place, the men in the barn
did not open fire.
About $500, the party drove into
the Saifer yard. They all climbed
out of the car, went to the door and
pushed it open as Mr.. Salfer started
to come out Of the house to see who
was there.
The leader pushed Mr.. Salfer back
into the house, striking him in the
face and on the head with the hose,
loaded at one end with shot. They
knocked him down in one corner Of
the room and asked for money.
They pulled Mr.. Salfer's pocket
book out of his pocket and took about
$40 which it contained. Not salts
fled with that amount, they asked
for more. Mr.. Safer told the BAN
dts there was no more in the house.
They struck Mr.. Salfer again and
when Kathryn became hysterical and
interfered, she also was struck in
the face.
After several more blows, one
daughter exclaimed, "Don't kill my
father, 1 have some money I'll give
YOU" Both girls went to their rooms
upstairs while the robbers searched
much of the house. They reappeared
with more than $1OO each and hand
ed it to the men who tied the three
victims singly, with an old clothes
line and departed.
Son Brings Hell,
Shortly after the men bolted into
the house, Leo Salfer, 18-year-old
son, was awakened by the noise and
suspected something was wrong. He
crawled through a bedroom window
and down a tree and ran to the home
of his brother-in-law, Francis Man.

BARN FILLED With
HAY, GRAIN BURNED
AT WANDA MONDAY
Loss on B. ]. Jenniges Farm
is Estimated at $4,000;
Z Stacks Lost
GIRLS DISCOVER FLAMES
Drag Several Stacks to Safety
With Tractor; Hundreds
Help With Work

Wanda-A loss estimated cOnSer-
vatively at $4,000 was suffered at the
B. j. Jenniges farm early Monday
morning when the barn containing 35
tons of hay and 1000 bushels of
grain and seven stacks Of oats and
speltz nearby were destroyed by fire.
The Wanda fire department and
neighbors worked most of the night
and next day saving other grain
stacks and buildings.
The fire was discovered by several
girls, including Dora Aftermath and
Anna Jenniges, niece Of the owner,
who drove by about midnight on their
way home from a party. They drove
into the yard and yelled, awakening
the family and then drove on to the
M. M. Jenniges and the Herman Auf-
derheide farms and to Wanda to
spread the alarm. Reinhardt, son of
B. j. Jenniges, beat them to Wanda
where the fire alarm was sounded.
People from the dance at the ca
sino and from several parties in the
neighborhood rushed to the farm,
making a crowd of several hundred
persons in a few minutes.
Two cows and several calves in the
barn were driven to safety and most
of the harnesses were carried out.
About so chickens were burned in the
barn.
Using a tractor and cable, some
of the barley stacks were dragged
to safety and others were saved by
pulling the outside bundles off after
they caught fire. When the barn col
lapsed the heat in the vicinity of the
stacks was less intense, making it
possible to save them.
The barn contained ten tons Of
alfalfa hay and 25 tons of millet, oat
straw and wild hay, all of which was
good. 1t is probable that the fire
started from the hay heating. The
millet was put in last week but had
cured in the field for week.
Part of the barn served as gran
ary where 1000 bushels of grain,
mostly oats, was stored. The loss
was covered by insurance except for
between $3.50 and $500 on the hay.
The barn was 81 feet long and 40
feet wide and was built in 1914. Mr..
Jenniges plans to rebuild this fall.
The farm is a mile and half north
east of Wanda.
