AGED, VICTIM
OF ROBBER IS
BADLY HURT
Hermit Living Near Canyon-
ville Boilnd and Gagged
by Unknown Assailant
MONEY OVERLOOKED
Robber Failed to Find $ 1 500
Hidden in Bed Upon
Which He Bound
His Viptim.
Billy Drown, a 75-year-old resl-1
dent of the Canyouyllle vicinity,
who has lived a sort of hermit like
existence in the canyon for many
years, was injured today when he
was attacked, bound and gagged by
nn unknown assailant who attempt
ed robbery. The aged man is ru
mored to have considerable money
hidden at various places, and, in
fact, the would-be robber overlook
ed a purse containing $1.5uu hid
den In the bed upon which his vic
tim lay bound and sagged.
vEarly In the morning an un
known man appeared at Brown's
tent, which is located about two
in lies south of Canyonvllle, and
asked for the use of a hammer. He
stated that his car had broken down
aud that he needed the hammer to
make repairs.
Brown secured the Implement for
lilni, and then as he turned away,
unsuspectingly, the stranger struck
him violently behind the ear knock
ing him to the ground. Then while
the old man was still dazed and al
most unconscious, his assailant
bound him securely, hand and foot,
and placed a gag In his mouth. The
man was then carried to his bed,
and tied down.
The small tent house In which
Crown made his home, was thor
oughly and systematically ran
sacked. The burglar apparently was
acquainted with Brown's reputation
for keeping money about his place
of residence, and was looking only
for money. In spite of the careful
manner in which he made his
search, he overlooked a purse con
taining $1,500 in gold, which had
been carefully hidden upon the bed
where Brown was bound down.
finally, the assailant, left the
place, leaving the old man tied
down. His only reward was 13 in

About 11 o'clock friends acqulant
ed with Brpwn's habits became
worried over his failure to appear,
and went to the tent where they
found him unconscious and in a
critical condition.
His face and head were bruised
from the effects of the blow, and
the shock of the encounter with the
younger and stronger man, and he
was exhausted by his efforts to es
cape from his bonds, and the shock
of the experience. His chest had I
