Robber Takes Only Potatoes.

Sunbury, Pa. —A highwayman, masked and .carrying a big revolver, held up J. C. House of Lower Augusta township, Northumberland county, here recently and demanded that he throw up his hands. “I don’t want your money, but give me a bushel of potatoes,” commanded the thief. House complied, dumping them on the roadside, and was allowed to go without being further molested. He had more than SIOO on his person, he said afterward.
