They ransacked the house, and finding noun ing, they demanded that the old woman open a trunk that was locked She said she could not that it belonged to her son who had the key.
 They waited for him, and spent more than an hour before his arrival, and when he came they made him open his trunk, and they searched it, and finding two pocketbooks they made him open ana count out his money, more than Soo, Whicn they appropriated and left.

An effort was made to overtake them, but they had scattered, and there is no hope of getting them The old woman nor the negro could identify any of them.
