On last Friday night, A. M. Wilhelm, a prominent merchant of Richfield, Stanly County, N. C, upon re turning home after a social call, when only about one and one-half miles from his home in Richfield, was held up. at pistol points. Mr. Wilhelm was driving a double team and was taken by sudden surprise, when from behind the bushes on either side of the road, suddenly leaped two men, seizing his horses, while at the same time, two other men flashed four pistols in his face, demanding him to surrender. Mr. Wilhelm was un armed, but had he been, it would have been tj no avail. His pock ets were then searched, aud the contents were SDon in the hands of the fjur robbers. Fortun ately the amount contained in the purse was- small. He states o far as he has knowledge, there was something like $8 or $10 in his pockets. This with some other ittle artciles that were in his possession was the reward of the robbers. His hat, which was a new Stetson, was removed from his head, but by request of one of he robbers was replaced. Mr. Wilhelm states that all four of the men were masked, and their conversation was so low and limit ed to Buch few words, that he is not in a position to say as to wheth er or not any of the voices were amiliar. Strong efforts w-re made to try to get some trace of the robbers, but to no avail.

Weimderstand that Jethro has Persons Bitten by Alleged Mad Dogs Being z Looked After at Raleigh. Your "correspondent spent some time today with Dr. C, A," Shore, who is making quite a specialty now of treating for the State per sons who have been bitten by mad dogs. . He has treated, or now has under treatment, seventeen such cases. The first came from Wake, near Raleigh ; ther two from Rock ingham, two from Stokes, two from Southport, two more from Rockingham and six from Raleigh, the latter having come in yester day and today. Four of the cases came here by advice of physicians and in the other case Dr. Shore made the diagnosis and test.- He has made twelve examinations of dogs' heads and not all of these showed the disease positively, but most of them did, Day before yesterday and yesterday a dog here bit a number of people, and the six cases just in are all due to the bite of this dog, which was killed yesterday afternoon- after a desper ate chase. Dr. Shore was in the midst of his patients and was treating a little boy who was bit ten on the arm, and his sister, aged 9, who was bitten while try ing to defeiid him from the dog. More cases will come in on ac count of the bite of this dog, and Dr. Shore says that there is no doubt that the dog bit other dogs and that it will require three or our weeks for the disease to de- velope in dogs so bitton. Each patient is giving a three weeks' reatment, with hypodermic in ections daily. Today a little boy trom rineviile finished nis treat ment and is all right. Two of the patients are F. A, Clinton, of Stokes county, end James Hadler, of Rockingham. They first hought that the dog was sick and had a bone m his throat. There were sores upon his hands, and he hurried here.

Tharpe had quite and in teresting experience with a htfcle girl Friday. The child, about eight years old, walked into the Bristol store Friday afternoon and began crying. When questioned she stated that she had been left at the depot the night before by her mother and after spending the night with her aunt living in southwest Statesville she was Bent up town and got lost. Mr. Tharpe took charge of the child and tak ing her in a buggy undertook to find the home of the aunt. The child told many conflicting stories about her plight and did not tell Mr. Tharpe that her mother was in Salisbury until after he had driven for more . than two hours and had made much inquiry in an effort to locate the woman whom the child said was her aunt. When Mr. Tharpe learned that the waif's name is Margaret How ard and that her mother is Mrs. W. T. Howard, of Salisbury, Mrs. Howard was communicated with oyer the telephone and it was learned that the little girl be longed at the Barium Orphan's Home. The woman requested that the child be returned to the home, but the daughter plead with her mother to be allowed to re turn to Salisbury. Supt. Wake field, of the Barium Home, was also communicated with and he stated that the child was in the party of orphans who came to Statesville to see the Gentry show, aud while here she slipped away from the others. The little girl could not be persuaded to return to the Barium Home Friday night and when a gentleman volunteered to take her to- Salisburyr Mr. Tharpe let him do so. While Mr. Thare had the child in the buggy seeking the aunt who figured in her many storiss, they passed the wagons of orphans re turning to the Home, but the teacher in charge did not recog nize the chi'd in time to stop Mr. Tharpe.
