Marshal Harker, who lives near him, stopped in to wake Egbert yes- terday morning because Mra. Egbert 1s away from home and the Marshal was afraid the collector might over- sleep. Egbert told tho Marshal and later told others that yesterday was his day for the Burrsville, Adamston and Montoloking trip. The next word the Marshal had was a telephone message from Montoloking about the robbers and the attempted murder. Egbert was burryin; from Adam- ston on his bicycle to catch a train at Montoloking which would enable him to avold a ride over the muddy road in the dari. As he wi the bridge uver tho bay at Montolok- ing two mon jumped from opposite sides of the road at him. One man pushed him over and the other sprang upog him and pounded his head with a bludgeon. It was dark and Egbert was not able to see his aasailants plainly. He lost consciousness until he found himself struggling in the water, His hands had been bound behind his back and his legs were tied together. The teacher of the Montoloking school, crossing the bridge a few min- utes after the attack, saw Egbert threshing around in the bay and went if after him and rescued him, Eg- be et and the $160 it contained were gone, Marshal: Harker, was notified and summoned County Prosecutor New- man’‘and County Detective Shafto to go with him to Montoloking, They found Egbert weak and only occa- sionally coherent.

Many women went, but many others, myself among them, did not believe the stories of the shameful treatment of women by the Cossacks and remained in our homes. The Russians entered the town Oct. 15. “They seemed well enough behaved and seemed to justify our confidence that the stories about them were all untrue, So far had timidity disap- peared among the people that every- body went to church on Sunday as thor there were no Russians in the town. “But soon after the services began the doors of ‘ches, interrupted the services d all the men, including the cks appeared at and orde! priests and all the children to leave.
