A Night Alarm.

Last evening at about 9 o'clock Mrs. Richard Humpreys, who was along in her house in Brewery ave due, thought she heard an unusual noise in one of the rear rooms. She entered the apartment and found herself in the unpleasant presence of two masked ant armed robbers who were engaged in rifling her trunk, the contents of which they were turning out with practiced rapidity. The startled lady ejacu- lated ''hello" whereupon the men turned at once and seized her, throwing her dowB, pulling her hair, striking her and otherwise maltreating her. In the scuffle a sack containing $500 was pulled out on the floor and general struggle took place for the possession of the coin. The plucby woman fought bravely and the desperadoes, evi- dently fearing the arrival of help, decanped. Out of the large sum that rolled on the floor the burglars secured only $40.
 Mrs. Humpreys ran down to the library and gave the alarm. It is thought probable that the men are the same who held up the Free Coinage saloon and are now going through the town generally.-Co- chise Review, Bisbee, June 7.
