HELENA, Mon, Sept. 22.-The police
were informed of the torture Of John
Randolph, miner in Skillys Gulch,
near Marysville, this county, by two
highwaymen, who bound and gagged
him the night before and ransacked his
cabin for treasure that he did not have.
When he protested that he had no
money or gold dust in the house they
heated an iron poker red hot and drew
it repeatedly across his feet and legs,
soaring him frightfully. Then they
thrust the hot iron into his right ear,
causing the most awful pain. Ran
dolph was then chloroformed and his
cabin ransacked, but no treasure was
found. Though the men were masked,
Randolph recognized one of them as a
man he provided with food and shelter
few days previously.
