Friday morning three masked men appeared
at the house of Samuel Robinson, four miles
south OF Ligoner, Westmorelaud county,
ard demanded admittauce. Upon being re-
fused they shot five times through the door,
and then broke it down and entered. Tney
demanded his money, which they supposed
was concealed IN the house. This was re-
fused wbereupOn they set upon Mr.. Robin
son and beat him with clubs and chairs in a
horrible manner. The outrage will in all
probability result IN murder. Mr. Robin
son is about fifty years old, and resides with
