CERTAIN Yards at East Main, Neodesha $10.00 and $10.50 Suits, $8.00 Escaped With Dairyman's Cash Those who passed along Main street Wednesday between the hours of 10 in the morning and 7 In the evening probably noticed that Dairyman D. Sutton's team was tied in front of Engle's meat niRrket during those hours and that no one came to look after them. An explanation of why the team was left there all day long without food or drink was given when Mr, Sutton came in town in the evening to learn why his horses had not been brought home at the usual hour. It seems that a young man by the name of Block was driving the milk wagon for Mr. Sutton and that he conceived the idea of collecting all the money he could and skipping town.

He succeeded in getting hold of about $10 of Sutton's money, tied the team in front of Engle's shop and left for parts unknown. Sutton figures' that he is out about 57.50, as he owed Block a few dollars back wages. So far no effort has been made to locate Block. His home is said to be in Cherryvale. A Very Hard Luck Story.

Just at tha time he heard some one comlog up behind him and he at once called on the newcomer to protect him. "I'll protect you if you hold up your hands" assured the other, who was also a negro, as he pressed a revolver against Dodd's breast. Then, while the second negro covered him with the revolver, the first "went through" his pockets After the robbers had secured all the money he had, nbout 850.

they ran up the street and disappeared. Dodd at once reported the robbery to the police, who worked on the matter steadily all Monday night and all day Tuesday. Tuesday evening a nepro named Carson King, who answered the description given by Dodd as the one who first stopped him, was arrested on suspicion by Officer Garrison on South Walnut street. As the officer was trking King to the city court room he was met on the street by Dodd, who at once identified King as the negro who held him up.
