lows: Mr, Tovey was returning from
the mine between 1 and 2 o'clock
Saturday morning, and when opposite
Wedeman's store he noticed two men on
the stoop. Not thinking they were any
"burgnleers," but some of his friends,
he spoke to them, whereupon his sup
posed friends invited him to the porch.
When he reached the porch, Mr. Tovey,
to his surprise, found the men to be
masked, and they pointed two revolv
ers at hitn. This had rather a chilling
effect upon Mr. Tovey, and he fainted.
Upon recovering, his newly-mado nc
quaintanccs wanted to know if there
was muoh of Uucln Sam's "long green"
in tbe safe, which two of their accom
plices wore drilling. Mr. Tovey said
be thought there was not very much
money in the safe. The men working
at tbe Bate were so informed and tney
ceased operations. The four masked
men then escorted Mr. Tovey to his
home and tried to make nn entrance to
hi house by the front door, hut that
was locked. The would-be robbers
wanted to know if ho had any money
in the bouse he wished to be relieved
of, and he said no, whereupon they de
parted for parti unknown, making Mr.
Tovy promise not to tell of hi visit
with them.
