WANGANUI ROBBERY MEN ENTER HOTEL (P.A.) WANGANUI. March 5. An armed hold-up is reported to have occurred in the Rutland Hotel, in Wanganui’s main street, at 9.35 o’clock last night. Two armed men with handkerchiefs masking their faces entered the hotel vestibule, one waiting outside the office door while the other entered the office and at the pistol point compelled the licensee, Mr. I-I, A. Edmonds, to open the safe, which the intruder swept clean of its contents. The pair decamped, it is slated, with a considerable sum.
