LINED UP AGAINST

A WALL AND ROBBED


The plant of the Western Glass Manufacturing company at Valverde was held up early yesterday evening by four colored men, masked, and three workmen. Thad A. Rutherford, Edward B. Wilson and Marin Wilson, were robbed.

The robbers took $35 from Edward Wilson, the same amount from Rutherford, Martin Wilson lost $42. The robbers entered the front door about 8:30 and ordered the men inside to throw up their hands. The inmates were then lined up against the wall, covered by the revolvers of the three while the fourth man searched the pockets of the victims. The police have been furnished good descriptions of the men.
