At nil cully hour this inmnlnp; four masked men. nour ishing revolvers and blazing: torches, entered the house of Michael Hrown, at Smlthvllle, assaulted hlin. tied him and robbed the pluce. Mr. Ktnlth keeps a saloon on the inuln load at Snilthvlllo, between the Delaware and Hudson and Lehigh Val ley trucks. He has no family, and lives alone, sleeping In a room on tho second lloor of the building. About 1 ii'clouk this morning he was awakened by a racket downstairs, like the forc ing of a door. Arising and hastily iltesslng. be grabbed a shotgun, In his room, and stalled to investigate the dlsttu bance. Upon leaching the head of the stair, ho was surprised to And the stairway ablaze with light. At the foot of the Htalrs, just about to as cend, weio four men, with handker chiefs over their faces for masks. Kach curried a blazing torch in one hand and a revolver In tho other. In bis half-awakened condition the sight almost staggered him. Dazed by the flaming torches ho failed to instantly use the shotgun In his hands, nnd the Intruders, In a noisy manner, quickly mounted the stairs, and covering their victim with revolvers, had him com pletely at their mercy. Two of the gang stood guard over lb-own, while tho other two, carrying lit torches, ransacked the bouse. The men who remained with Blown asked for his money and he told them all he had was $5, which was In the pockets of his trousers. The men disbelieved lilm, however, and In hopes of getting morr money, they beat him with hard pieces of rubber hose about two feet long, evidently cut from tho air brakes of railroad cars. He was also struck on the head with the butt of a revol ver, receiving a patnful cut. which bled profusely. When the highwaymen were ready to depart I hey 'led Brown's hands and feet -with twine found In a closet, and wire, taken from the pictures on the walls. The men then departed, talcing with them o In cash, a gold watch, a new pair of trousers, and a shot gun. After the Invaders h,ul disappeared, Jtrown succeeded in untying the bind ing about Ills feet and made his way to a neighbor's house, wheie bis hands were quickly cut loote. "Who the robbers were there Is not the slightest Idea. They spoke good English, and evld'iitly took care In se lecting their victim. The torches used Y-ero made by tyinv? oily pieces of jiasto nnd lags to the end of sticks. J hat the building did not take lire Is surprising. This morning the charred .remnants of tho touhes weie found on the bci'room floor and the stairs show ed sevcsal places where the blazing torches came in contact with them. ANOTHKIl HOHBHIiY.
