as it would really require only the
improvement of the road from Glen

Injury From Blow. !
I
From Saturday's Dally
Last night A. II. Graves, one of
tne old time residents ot .Murray, was
the victim of the assault of a burglar
that had invaded the peace and quiet
of the Graves home. i
Mr. and Mrs. Graves had retired
for the night and after several hours
Mr. Graves was aroused by a strange
noise in the house that quickly
brought him from slumber, as it '
seemed the movements of some p-r-
son in one of the rooms adjoining1
his bedroom. j
The aged man arose to investigate1
the sound and as lie came to the I
door of the bedroom to try and locate j
the noise, he was struck on the head i
with some instrument that for a I
moment dazed him but did not knock!
him down. Blood llowed freely from 1
the injured head of Mr. Gravrs and :
the burglar evidently growing fright-j
ened at his murderous assault on the:
aged man hurried to make his escape
from the scene. i
As soon as Mr. Graves collected
himself he secured a light to investi-j
gate the scene of the burglary but!
could find nothing missing from the I
house. j
The burglar had secured entrance:
through a window, removing the!
screen and as the window was up for
ventilation, made an easy entrance
to the house.
Sheriff E. P. Stewart visited the;
scene of the burglary and assault but i
there was no trace that might lead to
the identification of the invader of
the peace and quietude or tne ti raves

It is thought that tne crime was
committed by' some hobo that had

makes trading in Plattsmouth a
pleasure as well as profitable.
