Three Times A Victim Of Robbers At His Lonely Home
James A Porter aged farmer near Whiteleysburg Delaware was robbed for the third time on a Saturday night. Four masked men battered his door and bound him while they searched for cash, leaving with a few dollars and his weapons. Porter previously suffered two robberies in 1887 and 1889, including a wound to his cheek and a shooting, with the culprits never found. He suspects four colored men attacked him this time, but no hidden sum was disclosed. He had earlier traded corn for a sod-cutter and now keeps little cash on hand.
