A Macedonian at Hammond had] saved up S7OO while working -for the! Standard Steel Car Works. His name J was Liza Korto. Two other Mace-, donians, who had recenly come from Detroit to Hammond, learned that Korto carried his savings in his belt. Last Saturday they induced him to go with them td visit a “sick” member of their own race. On the way they held him up and robbed him and frightfully beat him up, leaving him for dead. He revived later and dragged .himself to the center of the road, where he was picked up and taken to a doctor. He was able to give a description of bis assailants but they were not captured. . s
