Dunedin, Monday. A daring hold-up occurred in Balclutha on Saturday night when the shops were at their busiest period. A masked man entered the premises of Messrs Guest and Sons, and demanded the cashier, GraceXameron to put up lier hands, at the point of a revolver. He extracted from the register some £30 or £40 and decamped without being identified. The affair occupied only a few moments. Miss Cameron thought a member of the Guest family was playing a jolce and leaned forward and removed the man's hat. The robber was a tall tnan with fair hair. A long black scarf with two slits for eye holes formed the mask. The money stolen represented only a portion in the register, whieh contained several hundred pounds. The robber left his hat, whieh will alford a valuable clue.
