Tho bartender at tho saloon was in tho room alone thist morning, and Just preparing to close tho place, when a tall man, with a sandy com plexion and red moustache entered tho front door, sprung tho latch and ordered the man behind tho counter to throw up his hands, at the same time shoving an ugly looking re volver under the nose of tho aston ished saloonman. The hands went up. Tho invader then ordered Mr. Ken nedy to'throw the sack of silver on the bar, which he did. Not satis fled with the first sack, the robber asked for another one, and was handed a small one containing sever al dollars in nickles and dimes. After pocketing the monoy tho man backed to the door and after warning tho bartender not to follow on pain of having his head blown off, turned and ran across tho street and vanished In tlio shadow of the freight depot. An alarm was turned In, but noth lng could be found of the robber. Ho was nbovo medium height, and slim, and wore a short canvas coat and overalls.
