A Farmer Robbed.

ANTE CRY Friday night between
7 and 8 o'clock Charles Wintorshoim,
living on his farm, three miles below
here was robbed of $3.50 in gold--seven
800 and one $40 gold pieces. The old
gentlemen lives alone, and always car
ried the money sewed up in sack
about his waist. In telling of the &C.
currence, he said that as he was about
to get in bed he heard some one call
at the gate, and he responded, when
the party said he wanted drink of
water. The good natured old gentle
man carried small bucket of water
to the gate, when the robber covered
him with a pistol. In second or
two another man came up and also
drew his pistol. The pair said they
wanted money, and felt about his body
for the sack, but the sack had been
laid beside his top clothes, as he was
ready for bed. All three entered the
house. The old man told them that
all the money he had was 81, and it
was on the mantle. It was dark in the
house, and the intruders asked for a
light. They each held the old man by
the hands, and when they struck q
match he saw that they were white
men, although their faces were partly
covered. Finally they took the old
fellow outside, struck him over the
head and face several times with their
pistols, and threw him down on his
face, and one of them sat on him,
while the other retuaned to the house
and searched for the money. In q
short time the second robber returned
and said he had the money. When
the other man asked what kind it was,
he said "gold." Each piece was
stitched separately in the sack. The
robbers cut them out, left the sack on
the ground, told the old man to keep
! quiet, and left, going in southeasterly
direction. Wintersheim gotup bleeding
copiously, went 10 neighbor's house,
gave the alarm, and the officers were
| sent for. Sheriff P. P. McMichael,
Chief Deputy M. F. Edwards ant
Deputy H. N. saal went down and fol
hours watched the neighborhood, bu
to no avail. 1t is almost certain tina
the robbers were we'll acquainted will
the old man, and knew that he had
this money. He described them 81
follows: One o tall man, with coarse
voice; the other a low, chunky-se
man, weight about 165 pounds. Boil
spoke English plainly.

Two important changes in the
charge of vessels Of the navy have

handed the battleship Maine when
she went into the harbor of Havana,
and who has been in command of the
auxiliary cruiser St. Paul since the

stood that Capt. Philip will be as

Goodrich, Of the auxiliary cruiser ST..
Louis, has been ordered to the COM
mand of the Newark, Commodore
