men followed her outdoors and made her
come back. lie shot at her, and the bul
lut struck the side of her face and ranged
upward from the cheek bone. leaving a
shallow furrow on the skin. The robbers
obtained what little money there was in
the house and left. Shortly after mid
night, two masked men suppo'cd to pe
the same visited the little nmlet of
Emerald, comprising a postoffice and
