N. J. YODER ROBBED IN THE “BIG CITY”

Former Mt. Ayr Man Claims to Have Been Tapped on the Bean and to Have Lost 8280. The Chicago Herald of Thursday told of the robbery of a Rensselaer farmer who gave the name off “N. J. Goder.” Evidently it should have been N. J. Yoder, the wdllknown Noah Yoder, who for a number of years lived near Mt. Ayr, and who has been before the public to some extent for several years. Recently Noah and his (Wife were legally separated after several years of unh’armonious association. Yoder was here some last week and informed his attorney, J. A. Dunlap, that he was going to Chicago on some business. Mr. Dunlap advised him not to go, but evidently Noah did not heed. The Herald article says that “'Goder” was trying to engage a room at 632 North Clark street. The place Is owned by James Korsyk and his wife, Josie. Yoder said they were the only persons in view when he was assaulted and they were placed under arrest. Yoder wears the garb of *the Omishmat. and his fringe of spinach Indicates that he is from the tall grass and fruit for the hold-up men. Just what Noah’s business in Chicago was we have no idea, but it is tolerably sure that he had better confine his transactions to the country towns in the future.
