New York, July 1S.-At Demarest, four
miles north of EngIewood, N. J.. on the
Northern Railroad, early yesterday morn
ing masked burglars blew open and ROB
bed the large safe in the Hotel High View
and held the one hundred and fifty hotel
patrons at bay with drawn revolvers.
The hotel is situated on a high knoll,
and is a fashionable summer resort.
Members of the Vanderbilt family and
other well known New Workers when on
coaching trips usually make the hotel one
OF their stopping places.
1t was shortly after o'clock in the
morning when the hotel patrons were
awakened by a terrific explosion which
shook the big hotel from roof to founda-
ton. Many of the hotel partons rushed
cut into the corridors, while Others ran
to the windows.
Beneath big oak tree stood a masked
man watching the hotel. AS quickly as he
would observe person at a window would
come the command, stand back" and
the next instant a bullet would whistle
past the head Of the person.
Mrs. Elizabeth Hutchinson, of this city,
narrowly escaped being killed. The bullet
aimed at her lodged in the window casing.
Edward Beriauit. also of New York, who,
with his family. occupied a suite of rooms
en- the second floor. was driven from the
window by a shot aimed at him by the
burglar. BertTaut dropped to the floor as
the bullet whizzed past his head His wife
and children, believing that he had been
lilicd, began TO scream.
m meantime tho nronriatOr pf the
hotel, G. II. Kemp, rushed from his room,
just across the hall from the office. The
hall was filled with smoke, while near the
Office door stool two masked burglars hold
ing above their heads flaming torches. The
landlord, believing the hCtel to be on fire
rushed from the building and sounded the
fire alarm. The entire village was soon
astir, and it was only after the fire appa-
ratus arrived that the landlord discovered
that instead of the hotel being on nre Il
had been robbed of 5000.
The thieves by this time had made theil
escape. They were evidently familiar witt
| the premises. for they took the precautior
to tie the door of the room which the land
lord had occupied until Sunday night witt
part of a hammock which they had GU
! down from beneath one of the trees. Oh
account of the large numDer of patrons the
proprietor was compelled to give up nj:
room, and hence instead of imprisonins
the landlord the burglars had imprisoned
one of his patrons.
The force of the explosion shattered al
of the windows in the Office and demolished
the safe The burglars, in their Excite
ment, dropped a diamond ring valued a
$3.50, which was afterward found in III,
debris.
Previous to entering the hotel th'
thieves looted the cafe. AS a result of tn
burglary many of the patrons left for thei
homes on the early morning trains.
