FELL AMONG THIEVES.
The Strange story That a MassiiIon
Man NarrnIes.

New Castle, Pa, April PA remark
able highway robbery took place at
New Castle junction at q late hour last
night. A business man of Massillon,
o., Mr.. James Sawyer, was driving to-
wards Moravia. The night was dark,
and about 10 o'clock, when about two
miles from the junction, he was lost.
About half mile ahead of him he saw
what he supposed was the light from
country residence and he drove to-
wards it. He was surprised to find
that he had entered the camp of lot
of tramps. He was seated in his bug
gy, and before he had time to collect
his thoughts two of the men in the
party of six seized the bride of the
horse.
One Of the men drew a revolver and,
pointing it at Sawyer's head, asked
him for his money. He was little
slow about complying, when the other
tramp took hold of him and pulled him
from the buggy and knocked him down.
He was then searched, and a gold
watch, a revolver and $4S in money
were taken. During the search he was
being dragged into clump of bushes
and he thought the men intended to
MIL bllii, Dul dIleT lney ndu reviewed
him of his valuabes he was escorted
back to the buggy, told to jump in and
drive off
The man who held the revolver said
to him, after he was seated in the
buggy Say, don't you want a dime
to buy yourself a drink" He then
tossed him 10-cent piece into the bug
gy and, with the revolver still pointed
towards his victim, the latter was told
to drive on. During the ROBBERY Mr..
Sawyer says that surrey drove past, in
which were four men. He wanted to
make an outcry. but was told by the
tramps that if he so much as uttered
sigh his head would be blown off,
and that they could easily make their
escape. He drove at once to New Cas-
tie junction and informed the rail-
road men there of what had occurred.
They went to the spot, saw the fire,
but the tramps had departed.
