by three highwaymen Sunday evening be-
tween Deep Water and Pasadena and
robbed Of $1,000, came in yesterday to sub
init the matter to the sheriff.

hands. or course | did 80 and the third man
| reached his hand up to my throat. caught
the cord. drew out the bag. handed 1t to
one OF the others and told me 10 ride on.
All the time he was cursing and abusing
me at a fearful rate. When / started on he
| rode behind me with his Winchester rifle
cooked. The other two rode straight across
the prairie toward Duke. The man who
seemed TO be the leader rode with me near
| ~ to Pasadena, then he turned and rode
| across the prairie In direction to meet
| the others on the road to Duke.
''Thc men all wore masks above their
| mouths. The leader was large man, about
six feet tall, weighing nearly 200 pounds.
| He seemed to be dark and had n three or
| four days growth of beard on his face. He
| carried a rife. wore rather shabby dark
| clothes and black hat. and rode good hay
| horse with single grth saddle. The other
| two were smaller men, Ale and wore beard

| about like the first, except that one wore
a light colored SLOUGH hat They rode COW
