DARING ROBBERY.

YOUNG CHINESE WOMAN INJURED,

Employing the usual method of gaining entrance into a Chinese house under the, pretext of rent- ing a room, two robbers succeedad in forcing their way into No. 75 Fourth Street, yesterday after- noon, wounding a woman inmate of the house and making good their escape with property valued at about $100....

"

The house was occupied by a Chinese young woman, age 20, whose husband is a foreigner, but who was not at the house at the moment. Other persons in the house included an arah and a baby.

Shortly after 1 o'clock yesterday a woman went to the house stating that she intended to rent an empty room.

After looking around the house for sametime, she went away. Later, a man called and suld that he had come to rent he room. After a while, he said that his master was waiting down- stairs And that he would ke to call him up to look over the room for himself. The man open- ed the door and admitted his com panion. Once inside the house both men pulled daggers and short knives threatening death to the woman if, she gave, the alarm.

The desperados pushed the women and the baby inside the room intending to shut, them up before proceeding to ransack the premises. Later, the couple endeavoured to wag the women,

The mistress of the house strug. gled hard with the robbers, who having inflicted a wound on the hand of their victim and sening that she could not be overcome so easily, hastily snatched a gold ring and some other jewellery from her and made a hasty retreat.
