IEylA, o., December 24.-A posse OF
men arrived here last night from near
Bloomington in the southeastern portion OF
the county, in pursuit Of . gang Of men
who committed a robbery near that place on
Monday night Between 10 and II O'Clock
the house Of Harvey Jackson an aged
farmer, was entered by masked men. Jack.
SON and his wife and daughter were. taken
from their beds, bound hand and foot, and
then blindfolded.
Refusing to tell where their money was
hidden, they were subjected to various tor.
lures, and finally, when the men had placed
the old lady in the CRATE Of the room,
Saturated Her Clothing With Coal OIL,
poured the oil around her on the floor and
threatened to set it on fire, she revealed
the whereabouts OF their savings, which
amounted to $l75 in gold and 500 in cur.
rency. The men then left their victims
living on the floor in their night clothes.
still bound, and with both doors open.
The poor creatures were compelled to re-
main in that condition until four clock in
the morning. suffering intensely from the
cold. The men were tracked through Bow
ersville and in this direction. Owiag to
the age Of jackson and his wife, their re-
coyery from the rough treatment received
is regarded as extremely doubtful,
Their daughter was badly frightened and
has been in commissions almost continuously
since the affair.

ENDED At LAST.
And a Bad Old End for Sharon 1t is.


SAN FRANcIsco, December 24.-The cele-
brated HillSharon divorce suit ended to-
day in verdict for the plaintiff. The suit
as brought by the plaintiff, Miss Sarah Al
tha Hill, claiming to be the wife Of Sharon,
was for divorce and division Of the COM
munity property. Judge Sullivan s
decision is very comprehensive, con-
tanning $4,000 words. After reviewing
the testimony he concludes BY declaring
that under the laws Of California, the plain.
tiff is the legal wife of Sharon, and as such,
is entitled to divorce, on the ground of
desertion, and a division Of the common
property. The latter is estimated to be
worth ten million dollars. The verdict is
a great surprise to the public, it having been
supposed from the contradictory character
of the testimony, that the plaintiff would
have non-suited. 1t is believed Sharon will
appeal.
Hon. II. L. Barnes, the leading counsel
for ex-senator Sharon, in the Sharon di-
yorce case says of Judge Sullivan's de-
cision: 1T is an entire surprise to the pro-
fesslon, both as to the law and the facts.
The Judgment, if it stands, will not be
serious pecuniary injury to Sharon. don't
think he has ten thousand dollars worth OF
property which could be made subject of
the decision. Mr.. Sharon is greatly an
noyed by the present decision, but has not
the slightest idea of submission, and Of
course, will appeal, and weare confident OF
reversing the decision. The suit brought BY
Sharon in the United States Circuit Court
to have the marriage contract declared in
valid, will be prosecuted"
The Plaintiff S counsel will make appG-
cation for counsel fees and $1,000 month
alimony for the fourteen months since the
BEGINNING Of the case.
