Mr. Wilson arose to have breakfast prepared for a guest who desired to leave early in the morning. Finding the time not as late as he expected, he sat down intending to wait awhile before calling the cook. Presently he heard the door open which leads to the cellar from the dining room, and upon going there he was confronted bu a man who struck him a sudden blow in the face with a brick. Mr. W. called for help, when he was again struck, and fell to the floor unconscious. The burglars then made off, but with nothing of much value.
