making up his account with the government pre-
| paratory to leaving for Dubuque with the govern
ment funds, when person entered the door, turned
the key, and, putting out the light with one hand
whilst placing the other Mr.. BIS mouth, in ar
instant inserted an instrument into Mr.. BIS mouth
which prevented him from calling out for assistance
or making an ALARM at the same time presenting
pistol to his head and threatening him with instant
death if he made the least noise The next moment
ne passed bed cord, with slip moose, around Mr.
BIS left wrist, (he has but one arm bringing ii
instantly to his back and raising Mr.. B. right foot
