William Tash was assaulted this morning in his butcher shop and robbed of nearly $200. Two men entered the shop, one knocked Tash down with a leg of mutton and the other jumped on him and tied a rope around his throat so tightly that Tash nearly died from strangulation. He is in such a dazed condition that he was unable to give a description of the robbers, who made their escape.
