urday evening last, as Mr. and Mrs. P.
A. Robertson and their little boy, were
about to retire, there was a rap at the
back door. Thinking it was some of
their nearest neighbors, Mrs. Robertson

door, she was horrified to sue two masked
figures, one being but a young lad;
with an axe, the other a young man,
with revolver in hand, ready for action

pointed it at him, and demanded money
saying: "We want a little to let us out

were made to understand that there
was no money in the house. However
