Assault on Dr Blaise and wife near Breckenridge
Information reached the city from Hancock county of a brutal attack on Dr Blaise and his wife in a Breckenridge area home. The couple, awakened by blows, were beaten with heavy clubs as two robbers sought money reportedly stored in Keokuk. Mrs Blaise escaped to neighbors, while the doctor tried to prevent their escape. The assailants fled but left a man’s property behind, later identified by locals. Authorities fear a robbery attempt connected to horse thefts in Breckenridge region, with suspects not yet captured.
