COLUMBIA, Feb. 29.--Three MASKED
men boldly drove into the farmyard oi
Jacob Habecker. at Masonville, below

their horse they tried TO effect an en-
trance into the house through the front
door, which was locked. They pried of
the locks and entered through the base
ment.
They at once made their way to the
bed chamber occupied BY two maiden
ladies, sisters Of MIR. HAbecker One OF
the burglars pointed revolver at the
women, and warned them that II they
male any outcry they would blow of
their heads. Que OF the elsters deded
them and called for assistance. Chris
tian Kline responded, by ringing the
farm bell TO arouse the neighborhood.
Several shots we're fired at Kline 10 the
house by the retfestiug burglars, one OF
the shots passing through the top OF o
corner click. The shooting took place
In an old fashioned box stairway. Not
