Was Slugged in Omaha.
Karl tSlouffer, sou of W. II.
SloulTer, the lumberman, departed
Friday, his destination being
Wallhill, Neb., his trip being made
to secure work, lie slopped in
Omaha for a few hours lo look for
a job in that city, and in walking
around he was either doped or
lugged, and perhaps both. When
he came to himself he was lving
in I lie Weeds along the railroad
track north of Council Bluff. He
does not remember anything about
tin' mailer, but says the last he
remembered was about 3 o'clock
in I lie afternoon. When be be
came conscious it was aliotit 10
o'clock at night. He had a suit
case and 111 money. All was
gone, including a hat he had just
paid $:i for before leaving home.
He finally found his way back lo
Omaha, very bloody and presented
a very pinnule signl. Willi no
money he did not know what to
do. Be finally came across sonu
good samaritan, who look him
to a place where could
wash and give him a hat, and the
next day he returned home.
Young SloulTer is only about 18
years of age and does not drink.
The strangest thing of it is how
could one be slugged al ,'i o'clock
in Hie afternoon without sonu
one seeing M : Nunei tines strange
tilings happen in Omaha in broad
daylight.

chosen is an ideal one. Here; ho
