the burning lamp upon the table, pre-
pared to make themselves comfortable by
building fire and getting something to
eat. Both men were masked with ban
dana handkerchiefs thrown entirely over
their heads, the side points being drawn
back and tied behind, and holes cut in
the front for eyes. While they were busy,
Mrs Kyle drew q revolver, but found she
was unable to draw the hammer. As one
of the men came toward her, with orders
to get the revolver and Finish her, she
thrust it under the bedding and they did
not succeed in finding it. Then one
brought cord from the Office and tied her
wrists together 80 nimbly that she thinks
he was an adept in the business. His
hands were very soft, as if unacquainted
with hard work. Having finished their
meal they searched her commode and
trunk, securing $137S6 in all, and then
went into the post-ofice, from whence
they brought ont the money-order book
and asked for instructions in filling out
the blanks, but received none. They re-
turned to the Office, and she took the OPP
portunity to make her escape through
the back door, which they had left par
tally open in their search. In her night
robes with hands, tied, she left her little
girl in bed and fed through the snow to
the north side of the hotel, where she
awoke B. O. Richards by rapping upon
his window. So surprised was he that it
was some minutes before he could under
stand the situation. When he did, Mrs.
Richards took care of Mrs. Kyle and
placed her in bed, while Mr.. r. awoke
his boarders and started out. The thieves
had made their escape before the men
had reached the Office, and though some
time was spent in trying to trace them,
the efforts proved fruitless, as the falling
snow so soon obliterated any tracks. The
robbers we're frightened away before
they secured either registered or mail
matter. An Office stamp which they took
was found back of Mr.. Seibert's meat
market. Little Cecil was taken to her
mother by the gentlemen in pursuit. Mrs.
Kyle took cold from the exposure and is
suffering from rheumatism. The county
officers, as well as the post-office authori-
ties, have been notified, but no clue to
the identity Of the robbers has yet been
found. VIC.
