Ot Tuesday evening nhoul 7 o'clock while 011 his way home mid in MiRht of the house, old man Rudopli wim held up by two young men, his pockets rifled and 00 cents taken from him. No violence was offered. He says the robbers were young men. the taller one heinir .ibuut so and the smaller one about I S years of ajt It was not very dark ntthe time nud Mr. Rudolph thinks he would recognize Ihc hoys were he to sec them again. On Wednesday evening about y: 1 5 City Marshal Hert Nunu was halted on River street by two men about his size and relieved of about $31. money he had that day col lected for water taxes for the city. He had earlier iu the evening walked out with Henry Veatch to his home near the south end of town. He then returned as fur as the electric light plant, where he stopjied for n while. While there he changed his revolver from his overcoat pocket to his pants hip pocket, thus carrying it where it could not readily be gotten at when he w.is held up. Alter leaving the light station '.ic had proceeded but a short distance this side, and was just abreast of the old barn on River street opposite thei old bridge, in a very dark and lonely spot, when he was suddenly commanded to stick up his hands by two men who jumped out of an alleyway with leveled revolvers, one iu front and the other behind him. He was quickly relieved of his money and the robbers decamped through the alley mid behind the old shack next to the barn, leaving the marshal nlone iu the gloaming with noth ing but his pistol mid star. He came into town, got assistance and a lantern and returned to the scene of the lost shekels to find the foot prints of the outlrws in the mud He continued the hunt all night, but the birds had flown and no trace has lieeu left. Tilings are livening up and it will behoove those who are out after dark to curry their weapons handy. Woddmhn's Social.
