Hands upi Your money or your lifer'
were the words which grated on the ear of
1Ns y. II
night of last week, wnen their quiet home,
near Lloyd, was invaded by three burly
ruftians. Mr., Taylor and his wife and
child were sitting by the fire when the door
was suddenly thrown open, aud the three
mauraders leaped into the house with a
yell. They seized all the money
and jewelry, and then left, firing
their pistols as they went. Before leaving
| they said their leader was RUDE Burrows.
| They offered no personal violence to Mr..
Taylor or his family. Shortly after their
| departure several pistol shots were fired up
the railroad, about a quarter Of a mile
away, and it seems they mad q row there
nong themselves, as a bloody boot was
found there next morning with a bullet hole
a great quantity Of blood upon the
ground-much more than would be
made by the bleeding from the
| foot. Some twenty or thirty steps from
| where the bloody boot was found, in the
direction of a swamp near by, the other
boot was found. 1t is probable that they
had row over the division OF the plumber,
and one Of the crowd was either killed or
! s'hxed for slow travelling" One of the
robbers was left behind, as four tracks led
| from Mr.. Taylor's house to the scene of the
row lone of them thu track made by the
| boots ( und there and only three left there
| going east on the railroad. Mr.. Taylor's
| little girl recog lied two OF the rascals as
two tramps she had seen at Lloyd
the day before, cooking by the
side of the railroad. When the rob-
bers broke the door down and rushed 10,
Mrs. Taylor was between her husband and
the rascal it'll the shotgun, and instead of
fainting, or going into Mysteries, she caught
the muzzle of his gun In spite of all he
could do, and held 1t until Mr.. Taylor spoke
to her and told her to let go, as they did
not want to kill any one. Little daughter
Bessie ran up and caught the villain by the
leg, telling him not to shoot her uapa
