ROCKVILLE, Oct. II, 1891.
Among the passengers on the excursion train
from the Frederick fair, which reached Gath
ersburg Friday evening about 8 o'clock, was
Mr.. VIM. b Mobley Of Laytonsville, and as he
alighted from the car he was followed by three
men. As soon as they reached the ground one
of the men hastily thrust his hand into one of
Mr.. Mobley's pockets and grasped his pocket
book, and before that gentleman could make
any resistance or give an alarm the three
were back on the train, which was moving
of. Upon examination Mr.. Mobley found that
the man had only succeeded in relieving
him Of his pocket book, which contained about
S1.50 besides number Of papers of no partic-
ular value to any person but himself Mr..
Mobley says the man who assaulted him was
stranger, but he would be able to identify him
If seen again. He Is one Of the wealthiest men
in the county, and the thieves had evidently
followed him from the fair, expecting to make
q rich haul. Mr.. NJ. went to Washington this
morning hoping to get some clue to the rob-
bers and perhaps regain the papers that were
taken from him.
