News Notes of Interest From the City

A Highway Robbery.


The following IS from Thursdays
issue of the Waynesburg Republican:
Warren Mankey, Esq, of Waynes
burg, had an unpleasant experience
with highway robbers on Wednesday
evening OF last week at Benwood, w.
V8., as the result of which he received
some bodily injuries and lost nearly
$50 in cash and some valuable papers.
MIR Mankey and George Aud, of
Ninevah, this county, were on their
way to Ohio to make arrangements Tor
they have leased.
"Wednesday evening they got on an
electric car at Wheeling to go to Ben
wood, where they expected to take a
train for point down the Ohio river
near their destination. When about
half way between Wheeling and Ben
wood, however, they decided to return
to the former city and stay over night.
They both got off the car and at once
boarded a passing car going back.
After making the change Aud inquired
OF Mankey if he had his satchel with
him, and the latter discovering that he
had left it on the car ging to Benwood,
got off again to get it. AS he did SO
both cars started and he was left
alone standing by the track. While
waiting for another car he was ap-
preached by two men, who did not act
at all suspiciously. Without any
warning he was struck by them with
some heavy, blunt instrument, presum-
ably sang-bag, and knocked down.
They then went through his pockets,
securing all of his money, between $40
and $50, and some valuable notes and
receipts. The men then quickly dis
appeared. There was no one else near,

so that they safely made their escape.
Mr. Mankey got on car going to
Wheeling, where he notified the chief
of police of the robbery. The latter
secured his satcheI for him, which was
put off at the car barn, but no trace CT
the robbers could be obtained. They
failed to take Mr.. Mankey's gold
watch, which the chief of police
thought was purposely left, for fear 1t
would lead to their detection The
squire received several cuts about the
face as the result of the attack. He
returned home Friday evening. The
notes can be replaced"

The Chinese hunt these mice with a

"THE TWO NEPHEWS."

The opera house will be crowded
next Saturday night when the Chap
man Warren Co., will produce W. W.
Lapoint S comedy drama of rural life
"The Two Nephews.' Those who
have read this work pronounce the
drama a charming composition and
worthy writer of far greater expert
ence than Mr.. Lapoint.
The plot is strong and sensational,
interspersed with natural comedy.
The story reyolyes around two we'll
educated nephews of Il wealthy New
York capitalist who owns a large
machine shop in Vermont village.
One of these nephcws is poor but hon
est. The other a rich rascal. Both
love the handsome daughter Of the
mill owner, although the rich nephew
is the husband of an actress.
The plot deals with the plans Of the
william to ruin his uncle, and then save
him from poverty if the daughter will
marry him. which she consents to do.
The first act opens in the New York
office of the company, dancing in a
fashionable music hail. The second
act takes place in Vermont grocery
store, where some of the best comedy
ever seen in Barre will be given. In
this act the audience learns about the
strike at the mill and witnesses a very
sensational close. The third act shows
the burning of the mill by the william,
and the arrest Of The Two Nephews.
The last act is in New York where
right at last triumphs over wrong.
The comedy of the play is carried by
Vermont grocery merchant an Office
boy, dude, and a pretty soubrette.
The production Of this play is of
more than passing interest to Barre
people. 1t was written in Barre by Il
life long Barre boy who is we'll and
favorably known to everybody in the
city. He is the manager Of the thea
tire, and the company takes Barre as a
starting point. Seats are now on sale
at the Red Cross pharmacy and are
selling rapidly. Any person in Barre,
whether a regular theatre goer or not,
can witness production of "The Two
Nephews," for there are no offensive
lines in this Barre comedy. Secure
your seats early.
