DARING HOLD-UP.
PENSION MONEY STOLEN. SYDNEY, May 25. Two armed and masked men to-day daringly held up five people in the Randwick Military Hospital post office, seized £345 in bank notes and escaped in a waiting car. The money represented the pensions of incapacitated soldiers, the first hatch of whom had just been paid when the robbers appeared and warned all present to keep quiet. The elderly father of the postmistress, however, tried to intercept one man, who felled him with tho butt of his revolver, necessitating hospital treatment.
