Monon Man Stabs Unknown Assailant When Held Up.

Luther Lutes, of Monon, escaped from two holdups by the use of his penknife Wednesday night while on the way to the station to meet friends whom he expected to arrive at 11:20. While on his way he was confronted by a man who demanded his money. He quickly drew a penknife and stabbed his assailant and at that moment another man appeared and struck him on the head with something resembling a bottle. Although stunned, Lutes made good use of his legs and ran down town, where he found Nightwatch Dobbins. They made a search for the men but were unable to find them.
