Boy Held Up and Robbed.

Hugh Morgan, aged Is years,
eldest son of Nelson Morgan oil
Taftsville, was held up and robbed
last week Thursday night, the high
wayman securing an empty wallet
and stickpin. Not big haul, but
then he doesn't seem to have been
very daring sort of robber.
Hugh, who works at F. v. Dar4
ling's store at Iaftsville, had been
down to the village and was return
ing between 8 and 10 o'clock to his
home at d. G. Spaulding's. 1t was
dark night and at a particularly
dark place man stepped out from
beside the road, put u hand on his
shoulder and said, Il want your
wallet" Hugh passed his empty
wallet to the hold-up gent, who then
said he'd take his stickpin, appar-
emily knowing that he had one, and
this his victim parted with more
reluctantly but with no hesitation,
as he allows that he was bit scared
at being a central figure in hold
up act, which was entirely new to
him. He had watch in his pocket,
but he forgot it in his fright when
the man asked if he had anything
else"
The highwayman left him and he
hurried home. He could give no
description Of the stranger, more
than that he was rather short and
thickset.
