Highway Robbery In Amsdor County
Tho .Rebber Gets on with AmalEim
worth $4,000.
DRYrowS, Feb. ll.-John Hooper,
Superintendent of the Plymouth mine,
while on his way, yesterday afternoon,
from his mill to this place, with q pack
age of amalgam worth about 81, 300,
was stopped by a man who came upon
him suddenly from behind q bush and
demanded the treasure. Mr.. H. not be-
ing inclined to comply with the request,
dropped the amalgam and caught hold
Of the robber and also Of the pistol
which he held in his hand and endeav-
ored to wrench it from him. But the
robber being the stronger of the two,
Mr.. Hooper could not get the pistol.
After releasing himself from Mr.. H., the
robber walked backwards, pistol in
hand, towards the amalgam, which he
picked up and decamped with. Mr.. Il.
followed him a short distance, but be-
ing unarmed, concluded his best course
was to come to town. On his arrival
here some twenty or thirty citizens
started in pursuit, but have not yet sue
ceeaed in capturing the robber.
