The Nevada Democrat., 1861-04-13
Nerada democrat.
LOCAL STATTERs.


gle, miner, living in a cabin on the opposite
side Of the creek from the Eagle Mill, was
awakened by hearing some one push at the
door, He inquired who's there% when another
push was given, the door burst in, and four
men, with masks over their faces, entered.
one of the villains struck him over the head
with pistol, and told him to lie still, which he
did, considering it useless to make any resis-
tance. The robbers then proceeded to search
the cabin and found some ten or fifteen dollars
which they divided among themselves, then
binding the man securely by the hands and feet,
took their departure. After working an hour
or two, Schingle managed to free himself, and
gave his neighbors information of the robbery.
He describes one of the robbers as small,
slim man, the other three being heavy set They
took all the money he had. There is no doubt
that these robbers are daily prowling about our
streets, but they carry on their nefarious ope-
rations so adroitly, and so completely disguise
themselves, that it appears to be impossible for
even the persons robbed to identify them.

earth was being drawn up, and when within
about six feet of the surface the rope broke, the
tub and its contents striking the unfortunate
