Farmer Called to His Door and Forced to Give Up His Money. Marion, Ind., Feb. 4.—Jacob Rust, a farmer, was held up at the point of a revolver in the hand of a masked man at his home in Sims township yesterday morning and robbed of SSO. The robber gained admission to the home by asking Rust to step outside and meet some coon hunters', When the door was opened a revolver was thrust into the farmer’s face and he was ordered to hand over his trousers. The thief ran through a field and, after taking the fanner’s money from the pockets, dropped the trousers.
