Monday ho drove to fourtoon miles distant to business and there drew from tbo Standard Bank While at village hotel sevoral people saw him expose a largo roll of bills and it was known all about country that he was on of his wedding Ho loft arriving homo put up his horse and after writing a of letters left tho house to post them This was about ton oclock Half an hour later as ho had not appeared bis relatives became alarmed In the meantime Mr Wil son a neighbor was ploding homo along the main street through heavy darkness when ho stumbled over body of a man Ho quickly se cured help and a when the body was identified as that of Stewart Paisley latter revived upon be ing carried to his fathers house two hundred yards distant but in a few moments became unconscious again IN A CONDITION Dr Forrest and his son who is also a medical man were called in and they found Paisley in a most precari ous condition Ho was bleeding from a dozen wounds about tho face breast back and arms and the top of head was split open in two or three places His coat vest and shirt were half torn off and were slashed as if with a sharp finepointed weapon Although badly gashed about the face wounds were not dangerous but those in tho body may probably ter minate fatally While Dr Forrest was dressing the wounds Paisley re vived sufficiently to a somewhat incoherent account of the attack made upon him He stated thai he left just about dark and while driving homeward noticed three men in a buggy a short distance behind him He felt somewhat nervous as the men were strangers and he had about in his pocket so he whipped up horse Boon lost sight of those who were following him When he arrived homo he put up his horse and then wrote two letters which lie went out to While on way to the post office he noticed the three men in the buggy driving slowly along the street and although he passed by quite closely to them he could not recognize their faces He posted the letters and was within a few hundred yards of home when the men in the buggy again drove past him A moment later hearing a footstep he half turned around just as ho caught sight of one man sitting in tho buggy and two others close behind him he received a blow on the top of the head with a club that knocked him down SHOWED blow was followed by a second but neither rendered him unconscious and turning half over he grabbed one of assailants and dragged him to the ground The second man then kicked him in the face and both set upon him with knives stabbing him in face and all about the body Twice ho managed to get to his feet but each time ho was down again He struggled desperately but the blood that was pouring from some fifteen stabwounds gradually weaken ed him He has no of his pockets being rifled and does not remember his assailants leaving him but he believes that he would be able to recognize them THE VILLAOK By Tuesday morning the whole village was in a turmoil of ex- over the robbery and several posses of villagers started out in search Of the highwaymen It is the throe men were traced 10 a side line near down which they disappeared and tbere is some pros pect of their as tho whole of the country is aroused Dr Forrest holds out but slight hopes of his re covery EVENING Paisley stabbed four times in breast also in neck and arm wounds wot except which penetrated tho lung and ho is likely to recover only serious injury ho received from blow on back of head and this blow which doctors think must have been delivered with a hag of shot or some similar weapon produced a slight concussion of brain from which Paisley is only now beginning to recover Paisley when attacked bad in bin pockets from 150 to 5600 The ex tract amount lie has not yet been able to figure This money was proceeds of collections of amounts ad vanced by Paisley on notes made by farmers the neighborhood Paisley docs not seem to have banked bis money white he was collecting it Ho had been carrying his collections in his pocket and had not as stated yesterday taken it out of tho bank Yesterday market day at MountAlbert a subscription list was opened and villagers and farmers of the neighborhood soon got together which they have offer ed as a reward for the apprehension of Paisleys assailants Along with County Constable Steeper Constables Burns Boyd and Mcllwain are actively engaged in try ing to hunt down

side of the street and Mr lives on other Bide Both men out on the road at the time of the robWy and both are certain that the robbers did not drive towards after struggle It is suspected that who
