From Tuesday's Daily
Bound hand and foot with shoe
strings, and with his head bleeding
; f rom five cuts, a man believed to be
II. M. Walker cf Sparksburg. N. D.
j was found lying unconscious in a
pasture a quarter of a mile south-
cast of La Platte early Monday night.
Walker was found by A. L. Martin
of La Platte, who was walking along
the road with two companions, when
is attention was attracted by
groans coming from the pasture.
Leaving the road to investigate
h.e ,entpre(? the .field and "? lie
rieu io me point irem wuere ine
noises came, he saw two men jump
up and run away from nearby, ac
cording to the story he told Sarpy
county authorities.
Paid Little Attention.
His first thought being for the in
jured man. Martin said that he paid
little attention to the men who were
running away. He did, however, no
lice that they were apparently young
men.
Walker was unconscious. Calling
his companions to assist him. Martin
carried Walker to the Brother's groc
ery store in La Platte, where first
aid treatment was given.
Failing in their attempt to re
vive the injured man, Martin and
his companions took him to Fort
Crook, where he was placed in the
post hospital.
Blows Not Fatal.
Walker was treated by Maj. R.
D. Wolfe and Capt. D. I. Stanton.
They declared that while his injurier
were painful and that he had receiv
ed a severe beating, the blows were
not of a fatal nature. The man was
beaten to unconsciousness bjr a blunt.
instrument, they said.
According to the two physicians
a blow dealt Walker at the back of
the bead probably dazzed him and
he was beaten to unconsciousness
afterwards.. .-
Martin had meanwhile notified
Sheriff Henry Olderog of Sarpy coun
ty and he and a deputy sheriff was
inclined, it is said, to believe that
Walker might have been a member
of the trio that robbed the Newark
shoe store in Omaha Monday morn
ing of $000.
In expressing this theory to Sergt.
A. C. Spencer, the deputy pointed
out that Walker s hands and feet
were bound with shoectrings and
that his description detailed that of
one of the bandits.
Mcney on Person.
On Walker's person was found a
money belt containing $15 in cash
and in an inside pocket of his jacket
was found a bank book on a North
Dakota bank. A letter found on his
person indicated that hts Home was
at Sparksburg, S. D.
Sheriff Olderog is inclined to be
lieve that robbery was the motive of
attack. He stated that he believed
that attackers were frightened away
before they reached the money belt
which was strapped around one of
Walker's legs.
At 11 Monday night two men were
arrested at the interurban station at
Fort Crook. They are held at the
fort on chargest of trespassing on a
military reservation.
The arrrest of these rwo men came
when an automobilist, driving on the
road south of the fort, noticed two
men walink along. He phoned the
fort, saying that the men jumped
over a bank and hid until he had
driven past. Their arrest followed.
They were unable to explain
satisfactorily their presence on the
military reservation at that hour.

of his new office today and will ic
