Matters Of Interest In the Metropolis
Of Belmont County,


The robbery of the residences Of
Messrs. George w. Yost and r. NJ. Gllle-
land on Wednesday evening was a very
bold and daring affalr. They climbed
up the front porch at both places, and
evidently left the Yost residence In the
same way. Mr.. Yost, his wife ana
niece were at supper at the time, and at
Mr., Gllleland's there were nine around
the supper table. AT both places every
room in the second story was ransacked.
The standing guard with guns came
about by discovering one room In Mr..
Yost's residence locked-Rn unusual
thing, and 1t was supposed they had
come upon The men. But when the door
was burst open II was found they had
made their exit through a window.
There is not the slightest clue, though
suspicion Is directed to certain parties,
as In the Blum case. Messrs. Yost and
Gilleland Join In the Offer OF 500 reward
for the capture Of the thieves.

while the family was attending an en-

be convinced that home talent Is at
least assisting In these robberies.
