HELD UP BY WOMAN. GOOD USE OF REVOLVER. (By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received June 11, 10.15 a.m. SYDNEY, June 11. ( Mrs Paulson, licensee of Fahlert s Hotel, late in the evening was informed that two strange men were upstairs. She secured a revolver and bailed the intruders up as they were leaving the room in possession of one of her dresses, and kept them covered with the weapon while they were searched. One of them told her "not to tahc revolver stuff," but otherwise they did not desist. She marched them downstairs, where a porter stood on guard with a revolver while Mrs Paulson rushed into the street and got a policeman and handed the men into custody.—Press Association.
