SYDNEY ROBBERS
A DRAMATIC ARREST. (Australian Press Association.) (By Cable—Press Assn.—Copyright.) SIDNEY, August 5. Two masked robbers who secreted themselves in Michael Briggs’ butcher shop at Redfern, to-night, bound and gagged Briggs, covered him with revolvers, and commenced to hunt for cash. They discovered a bottle of whisky, and imprudently consumed a large portion, when a woman neighbour, bearing the men’s threats to Briggs, telephoned to the police, who dashed to the scene in a car and arrested the bandits, but not before a shot was fired by one, at the woman who gave the alarm.
