Got $10,000 From Her Skirt

Eli Potter, a prominent woman suffragist, was robbed of $10,000 by highwaymen in the outskirts of Kansas City, Kan., left Saturday night. A few months ago the Potters' residence was destroyed by fire and they received $10,000 insurance money. Mrs. Potter, who does not trust in banks, sewed the money into the linings of her dress. She was driving in the outskirts of town last night when a man stepped out from the roadside and grabbed her horse. Another man dealt her a stunning blow on the head. When she recovered consciousness she found a sack drawn over her head and the highwaymen were tearing and cutting her skirts. They did not stop in their search until the whole amount of the treasure had been secured. Mrs. Potter believes the robbers were negroes.
