SINN FEIN VIOLENCE.
A CASTLE RANSACKED
BRAVE WOMEN DEFENDERS
OVERPOWERED AND SHACKLED
(Received 9.5 a.m.)
LONDON, Aug. 12
A dozen Sinn Peiners drove up in motor cars to Drumway Castle, County Armagh, and made a determined effort to seize Ulster volunteer arms believed to be hidden in the castle,
Mrs Cope and her sister were awakened from their sleep. They got a revolver and a gun, fired them, and wounded one of the raiders.
The women were finally overpowered and bound hand and foot. The house was then searched, but no arms were found. It is believed they were removed a month ago.—A. and N.Z.
