THREATENED HIS LIFE
SENSATIONAL ROBBERY AT A
LONELY WAL THAN FARMHOUSE
Robbers Knew That Farmer TeeIe Had Money
and They Got Tt-Gag Was Used.

Waltham, Mass, April 14.-One of the
most sensational robberies ever known
In this vicinity occurred last evening
at lonely farmhouse on the outskirts
of the town. Charles nIehry Teele. who
occupied the house alone, was the VIC
tim, and at the point of the pistol, and
with more terrible threat of death by
burning, he gave up $3.50 to the robbers,
and they made their escape, leaving him
bound hand and foot to a bed.
Mr.. Teele, farmer 5S years old, is
somewhat of a recluse living in a large
house near the Lincoln line About
dusk last night he came home. Inside
the door he was met by two men, both
masked and armed with revolvers, who
demanded mis- money, under pain of
instant death. Teele refused. Teele
was seized and dragged into bedroom,
where he was thrown on the bed and
securely bound. The robbers then pre-
pared a sag of cloth, which they satu-
rated with kerosene and stuffed into the
unfortunate mans mouth, while all over
the bedroom floor and furniture they
poured all the kerosene they could find
about the house. When this was done,
the men told Teele that they were well
acquainted with his habits, having
watched him for some time. They were
positive that he had received $4,000 from
the city Of Cambridge for land dam
ages in the taking of part Of his estate
Tor water. reservoir. Furthermore.
they were members of New York gang
and would stand no fooling. and that
III he did not disclose the whereabouts
OF the money they would set the room
on fire and leave him.
This was too much for the old man. and
he nodded an assent to the demands OF
the robbers.
He told them, after they had removed
the gag, that the $4,000 was all in the
bank, but that he did have 5000 with
him, and that $50 more was in the hay
In the barn. The men were satisfied
with this explanation, and one of them
went to the barn and returned with the
900. Then taking the 5000. they left.
Teele managed to work himself free from
the bed. and, after recovering himself
walked half mile to camp of Italians.

Capable of Holding His Own With
Captain Coverings Lawyers.
Chicago, Nov. 24.-Private Charles
Hammond was the principal witness in
the Lowering court martial yesterday,
and proved himself entirely capable of
holding his own with the attorneys
who are acting for Captain Lowering.
lie gave damaging evidence against
Lowering, and could not be made to
contradict himself on the stand, nor
was he at any time confused by the
sharp cross examination to which he
was subjected. Questions relating to
his personal history before he entered
the army he quietly refused to answer,
because, as he said, they have no bear
ing on this case. Hammond, in his
evidence, nearly doubled the number
of sword thrusts mentioned by pre-
ceding witnesses, and then proved his
evidence by showing the scars.
Hammond declared that he had left
his barracks at Pittsburgh, N. Y,
without leave in order to attend to
some private business, and had sur
rendered at Chicago within ten days IN
order to escape the charge of desertion,
being willing to serve the penalty for
absence without leave. His attitude
throughout was respectful, but posi-
tive.

A Woman In a Smoking Car.

When the Orange county express on the
Erie railroad stopped at Paterson one
morning last week, a stout, middle aged
Irish woman climbed up the steps of the
smoking car and walked in, not needing
the warning, Rear car, ladies; this is the
smoking carr
The commuters looked up from their
whist, and even the man from Tuxedo was
q little bit interested when she seated her
self, unmindful of the smoke As the
train moved out from the station the
brakeman entered the car, tapped her on
the shoulder and said:
Madam, this is the smoking car. There
are plenty of seats for ladies in the other
cars"
That she was not feazed by the informa-
ton was apparent to all, and the man from
Tuxedo allowed himself to forget whether
his partners long suit was hearts or dia-
monds.
Then the woman winked knowingly,
took out of her pocket pipe, tobacco and
matches, and answered:
IAN did We spose for wan mint didn't
be afther KNOWN twas the shmoker?''
She lighted her pipe and smoked all the
way to Jersey City.-New York Sun.
