MURDEROUS ASSAULT.
MAN ATTACKED AND ROBBED,
Taumarunui, June 8. A well-known resident, Harry Gratton, billiard saloon proprietor, was murderously assaulted while on his way home about 11.30 o’clock last night, and relieved of £BO. Grattan was hit on the head with a sharp instrument, and was found shortly after in a pool of blood, and in a semi-conscious condition. He was removed to his home where he is progressing satisfactorily. Grattan remembers nothing of the assault. The night was very dark and a thick fog assisted the assailant. The police are making investigations, but so far have no clue.
