the muzzles of two six-shooters were
coldly looking at me and 1 was told to
give up nv money. They took what
money had out of my pockets and
made ne axe the money which kept in
tobacco box out of the safe and my poe
ket book, then they compelled me to
hold my hands up while one of them
ransacked the money drawers, etc which
l felt disposed to do as the pistol held by
one of them had disagreeable way of
bobbing around back of my ears and the
man at the bar repeatedly told the other
one, IF he moves, kill him. They got
about $3.50, in money and checks, 500 or
$23 in money, about $3.50 of which be-
