Robbery AT Strawberry Plains.
STRAWBERRY PLAINS, Jan. 10, Y

STRAWBERRY PLAINS, Jan. 10, 10
Mr.. EDITOR: Last night about 2
o'clock, Dennis Lanes house was en-
tered by two men and robbed of SIS
or $50. Mr.. Lane, who is the bridge
watch at this place, was on the bridge
while the robbiDg was done. Mrs.
Lane was in the bed, and says they
pulled their shoes eff before they
came in. One of them threw a quilt
over her and told her If she tried to
get up or made any noise he would
cut her throat, while the other broke
a trunk open and took out the money.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lane are two old and
respected people. The parties who
committed the robbery are unknown,
and there is no clue to their identity.
1t was very mean trick indeed, as
Mr.. Lane works hard for his money.
Yours, Mob JR.
