two masked men and robbed OF golf
bullion, valued ut $500. ss5 in money

ten 10y Mr.. Keefer to Mr.. Casper, we
get the following particulars:
While Mr.. Keefer WIS sitting alone
in his store at Charleston. about an
hour after dark Thursday night, the
front window was suddenly smashed
in and at the same time the one at
the side was also smashed. On look.
ing up Mr.. Keefer cav n l-asked man
at the front window with 4 Winches-
ter rifle and u pistol in his hands
and at the side window another with
u pistol pointed mt his head. The man
with the rifle entered the store
through the broken window and
held the rifle ut Mr.. Keefer's head
and shot at him. The bullet missed
its mark by about six inches, though
some of the powder struck MIR.

which he quickly did. Tho robber
then went through the safe and took
all of Mr.. Keefsr's money and a bar
Of gold bullion belonging to the
Octurhra Mining Company, winch
Mr.. Keefer had under I~ttuchrlent and
which was deposited il his safe for

containing valuable papers. lie also
took Mr.. Keefer's rifle, which was
loaded. from the wall and passed 1t
and the other property to the man ut
the side window. They then skipped
out in the darkness.
Mr. Keefer identified the robbers
as being the three men, who wero at
at his store in the afternoon with Il
team. They arc a brother OF Tom
Connors. the stage driver, Il man who
works for Tom Connors and a young
man, a son of Mrs. Connors.
After committing the robbery, the
men went to the house Of Sam Jones
and tried to make the people believe
that they knew nothing about it, but
the young man gave the whole thing
away az to there being several men in
the robbery.
The three men were arrested and
taken before Justice Pearson who set
the preliminary examination for
Monday, the 23d. Sheriff Natter is
at ardis and will probably bring the
prisoners to the county Jail should
they be held to appear before the

week by Detectives Helan, Lacy and Boyd

they stole bolts of dress goods. In one case
the theft of blankets was involved, and the

reason that they were taken from a house
where there was scarlet fever. Detective

to take the blankets from the house of the
colored man. where they had been left by
the thief
Judge Miller recognized Raymond as an
