Bold RoBBERY-George Trutt, of
| Kratzerville, while returning from
| Buffalo Valley on Saturday evening
last where he was engaged i'll lum-
bering for Kalbach Bros, was held
up by two masked men near Ulrich's 5
Schools house, /, miles south of
New Berlin and ordered to deliver
his money. They repeated their
demand and he handed them his
pocket which contained less
than dollar in change. He had
concealed in an inside vest pocket IA
roll of money amounting TO up
wards of seyenty-fve dollars which
had Just been paid him before leay-
ing the mill While the parties were
examining the contents of his pock-
et-book he moved on, and, seeing
them follow him. he started in n
dead run for home 3! miles distant.
The robbers evidently knew of him
having the money and upon discoy-
ering that they had oeen foiled, start
ed in pursuit, but Mr.. Trutt was too
fleet footed and came home at n
quarter stretch gait, having every
stitch of his clothes soaked with per-
spiration. 1t was narrow escape
for his hard-earned wages, and
the scoundrels should be looked up
and sumarily dealt with.
