Bound, Gagged and Robbed. - Com
PEELED AT the muZzle OF revolver to
refrain from calling for help or making
the least resistance. 5. H. Kaufman
was bound hand and foot. gagged ana
bIindfolded and tossed helpless upon
a bed while his home was ransacked
BY robbers Saturday forenoon. The
man who was thus maltreated is rs
years of age. and the shock TO his sys-
fem is serious. He was found and re-
leased by his son. James Kaufman,
when the latter returned from town
about noon. The Kaufman home is
on Tangiers lane which parallels the
Mile Track property at about quar-
ter of Il mile to the south. The father
and son live alone. keeping bachelors

o'clock the son left home 10 come 10
town on business, the aged father re
naming entirely alone at the house.
Seen after the young mans departure,
SO soon in fact as 10 lend strength to
the belief that his departure had been
watched. a tall young stranger entered
the house and engaged the elder Kauff-
man in conversation. AT peace with
all the world. and not in the least Bit
suspicious, the old gentleman was
somewhat shocked to find himself look
ing down the muZzle of a revolver and
strenly ordered to keep quiet But he
retained sufficient presence of mind TO
tell the man with the gun to put it
down. as he would make no resistance.
The pleasant voiced young man drew
OUT a handkerchief and bound ii over
the old mans mouth Then he tied
another around his eyes. Taking
sheet from the bed in the adjoining
room the robber tore it into strips ana
with the linen bound the old mans
wrists behind his back and tied his
ankles together. Then he lifted the
helpless man and tossed him upon the
bed. The using OF sheets instead of
rope probably saved the victim from
suffering. After rendering his victim
helpless the robber whistled and was
evidently joined by a companion. The
old man was searched and key 10
the family deed box was found The
box was located and ransacked. and
then the robbers made away with the
plumber. They secured five So gold
pieces. a s. bill. and a bank book on
the Davenport Savings bank. II is pos
sible that something else was taken.
but thus far nothing else has been
missed. 1t was nearly noon when
James Kaufman reached his home He
noticed something amiss as soon as he
entered the house. for on the lounge
was piece of rope and the room had
the appearance of having been ransack-
ed. Then groan from the bedroom
attracted his attention and he hurried
in TO find his father bound and gagged
upon the bed
