As stated in Saturday's LedgerIsaac Iiams, of Worcester, Mo.,was held up and robbed by high-waymen on Fnday night. MarcusPage and Ira Fanning, two youngmen who live in the neighborhood,were arrested and brought to Mex-

ico Sunday and bound over in asum of 1500 each, to appear beforethe next grand jury. Young Page'slather went on the bonds. Theyoung men aie about 19 years oldand have b rne good reputations'.Mr. Iiams was robbed of $40all the money he had with himRumor says young Page ha con-

fessed and returned the money.This report, however, is denied.The highwaymen, whoever theywere, acted like green hands anddid so much talking that Iiams atthe time thought it a joke, andsays he is sure Page and Fanningare the right parties. They hadtheir faces blacked and wore hand-kerchiefs, with eye-hol- in them,over their faces and talked all thetime they were holding the "oldman" up. As he came out of ablind road into the Rush er

pad, the robbers, whomust have known he was coming,pulled their pistols on him audtold him to hold np his hands andgive up his "dust." Thinking ita joke he argued sometime, butfinally found out they were inearnest and shelled out. He wentstraight to Page's father, who livednear by, and told him he was surehis son had robbed him. It isreported that the party who plan-ned the robbery was not with theparties who did the work, but willbe arrested at once. It is hard to
