The prediction often made to
Joshua Higgans, that he would be
robbed of his lifetime savings because
he did not trust banks, came true
Monday, says the Philadelphia
Record, when robbers entered the
house while the old man slept and
secured a sum estimated from $4,000
to $4,000 in gold, silver and paper.
1t has been known for many years
that Higgans, who lives alone, four
miles west of Gumboro, kept thous-
ands of dollars secreted in his home
The old man made his money by
farming and fishing and up until a
few years ago was mOney-lender,
but he suddenly became imbued with
the the idea that those to whom he
had loaned money intended to beat
him out of it, and. calling in all his
wealth he boarded it. Mr.. Higgans
says he was aroused about 3 O'Clock
this morning by strange noises and,
jumping from bed, ran quickly to
where the trunk was stored. He
became frantic upon finding it gone.
Seizing shotgun he ran from the
house and fired several shots in vari.
Gus directions, hoping to frighten the
thieves so that they would drop the
money. He finally called neighbor'
to assist in the search, but no tracks
could be found. In the money stolel
was about $4,000 in gold.

make a big mistake. Wanamaker s
