Gun Under Pillow Good Fire Alarm.
While w. H. Richmond and his wife
went to the barn near his home at the
Nisbet place In the Bloomfield settle
ment, five miles from Macon. Ca. bur
glars went into his house and after
taking fine gold watch set fire to the
bedding In one room and hastily made
their getaway from the place.
The robbery occurred about daylight
the other day. AS Mr.. Richmond and
his wife MIXED the COWS he heard two
pistol shots, which made a muffied
sound Rushing to the house, he dis
covered the bedding and part Of the
interior Of the room on fire. The bur-
glars had escaped. A barrel Of water
setting on the north afforded the
means of extinguishing the fire, which
was rapidly spreading over the resi-
dence.
The firing of the two pistol shots
was accomplished when the heat Of the
ignited bedding came in contact with
the thin barrel OF an automatic revolt
yer lying under the pillow.
