LEAKE’S MASKED VISITOR
IHK MBSSENGEU SHOT WHILE
THE MAN WAS ENTERING.
A Failure to Throw Up Hl* Hand*
When Ordered Provoke* the First
Shot—A Threat to Return and Kill
Him If He Said Anything—No Cine to
the Robber'* Identity and Where-
Hbonta.
Rome. N. Y. March 31.—A special from
Frankfort N. Y.,says: "Express Messen
ger Leake, who was robbed between
Clark’s Mills and Frankfort last night,
reached here about midnight, being able to
have his wound dressed. He was shot in
the upper part of the right arm, the hall
passing around the shoulder, causing an
ugly wound. Doctors probed lor the bul
let but were unable to locate it. Leake
endured the operation heroically without
chloroform. He was weak from the
shock aud loss of blood, but walked to the
station and took a train from Albany, on
bis way home to Sharon Springs,
SHOT AT THE OUTSET.
He stated to a reported that soon after
bis train left Clark’s Mills a man entered
his oar through the side door, which he
Shoved back, saying as he entered:
•‘Throw up your hands.” Leake did not
realize for a moment whai was up and
failed to comply with the demand. The
intruder thereupon leveled his revolver
at the messenger and shot him. Leake
dell to the floor of the car and
bis assailant said: “Now, d—n
you, when I tell you to hold
up your bands again you'll do it, won’t
tou ?” The assassin then bound the hands
and feet ol Leake and put a gag in his
mouth. One of his legs the robber tied to
the sare. The desperado then took a
bunch of keys from the pocket of ihe lues
senger and unlocked the safe, which he
rifled of its money packages. The amount
secured is believed to be between S7OO aud
SBOO. The robber left the car at the Dela
ware, Laokawanna and Western railroad
crossing.
VERY BLOODTHIRSTY.
Before leaving the oar the robber said
to Leake: “D—n you, if you say any
thing about this I’ll come back and kill
you.”
The messenger replied: “You wouldn’t
yob a man and then kill him too, would
you ?”
‘•Yes, 1 would,” said the robber as be
)eft.
Leake tried to free himself, but did not
yueceed. At Utica his ear was opened
End ho was freed from bis uncomfortable
position. At this place It was decided
that he had better stop over and have bis
(wound attended to. Thb messenger says
his assailant was a large, stromr man
wearing a mask that hung down over his
chest. His hair was cut very short at
the back and his hand* were calloused,
hard and dirty.
EXPRESS OFFICIALS RETICENT.
Utica, N. Y., March 31. —The local ex
press official!* decline to si ate the amount
of the loss. Route Agent liusknell reach
ed Utica at noon to-day. Ho was reti
cent but admitted the loss of about SI,OOO.
Other statements nx toe Inns at $3,000.
$t is believed ibat the robber entered the
car near Oneida Castle where the grade is
heavy. The messenger’s statement that
the robber entered by the side door is not
believed as the platform door of the oar
was not fastened by a chain as it should
ftiave been when the train reached Utica.
The messenger said to someone that
he was sitting at his open sate when
attacked. His description of the robbor
tallies perfectly with that given by Night
Agent Barger ol the man who robbed his
drawer ot about $lB March 14, walked
him down the track and gave him back a
watch and revolver that had been taken
With the money.
Two brothers named Schultz, who
were hunting iu Hatfield’s woods

tion, in New Hartford, tound pieces of ex
press moil' y envelopes takeu trom Mes

and doubled around the shaft under the
bands. His name was Samuel Cuyler.
He was about 17 years old.
It is supposed that he was carried
around quite awhile, for the person who
first saw him ( Mr. Durden) save he sup
posed it was a loose band flapping around
and called the miller’s attention to it as
such. Mr. Wright, the miller, as soon as
told of it ran out and stopped the mill,

FROZEN FACTS.
South Florida Fruit and Vegetables

Sanford, Fi.a., March 31. —The severe
white frosts during the present month
have done much damage to vegetation.
Irish potatoes, beans, tomatoes, melons
and squashes wore killed. Cabbages and
ouions wore not hurt. In a few sheltered
places potatoes have managed to rub
through. The frosts since March 15 have
been hardly perceptible unless in places
badiy exposed. We hear reports from
different parts of this country which are
very contradictory, viz.: At Titusville,
on Indian river, frosts of the first part of
tbs month were very severe. Reports
lrom I’olk, Hernando and Manatee coun
ties are that melons, tomatoes, etc., were
killed. At AVest Orange and Sumter the
reports indicate the same condition of
affairs. Thero has been no damage to
fruit (oranges) or trees so far as heard
from. The rank and unprecedented
growth of February was well matured
before the frosts came.
Many largo real estate transfers have
been recently made. Sanford seems to
have a building boom.
