t,Hr Masked burglars IN a HouSe-Attqck or a
" oman and RepUiSe NTH a Yard Stick.-Last
Monday night tour burglars in disguise entered
Inc grocery and liquor store of Mrs. Wilhelm
On the Hartford road, seven miles from Balti-
more, but failed to get much booty. Mrs. Will
htIm, who Is widow, slept in the right-h and
chamber, up stairs, and her nephew a Young
man IN the room on the left. Hearing noise
at Dait- past twelve in the night, Mrs. Wilhelm
started 10 get out of bed, when she was con-
froEted by two men who had been CREEPING on
the moor. One of them caught her by the
throat, put pistol to her head, and threatened
10 XIII ner III she made a noise. The other
man, VINO was also armed, commenced rum
maging around, but found very little exeept
seven dollars Mrs. Wilhelm had left in the
pocket of her dress. Notwithstanding the pis-
tOl ard threats, Mrs. Wilhelm screamed Ioud
and lOng for assistance, and stOutIy resisted the
efforts OF the men % gag her. Her nephew in
the next room, was awakened by the noise, and
QUICKLY Jumping out Of bed, was Just as quickly
lhTI,>I back by two more men, armed with
pistols, who also stopp his cries with the bed
clothing. tIe two men IN Mrs Wilhelm's room
hearing the scutie in the other apartment ran
hastily down stairs, holly pursued bv Mrs VIII
helm, who picked up yard stick that was lying
81 ire counter in the store, and broke il over
the head of one of the men as they were both
irving TO get the front door open. At this point
he other man turned and struck Mrs Wilhelm
in the head with his fist telling her to the door.
After this all four of the men escaped, leaving
the young man tied up stairs. As there are no
other houses near the one where the affair hap
penCd the noise and excitement was not heard
by any one. The four men who entered the
house were disguised in various ways, one had
a false beard, another a handkerchief over his
face, and one had the left sleeve of his coat
empty, to make il appear that he had lost an
arm. The matter is in the hands OF the police
