Cincinnati, O., April 20.- Two elderly women were knocked down and robbed in their home, in this city, by three men, who escaped with jewelry valued at $5,000. Mrs. Krolage, a fortune-teller on West Ninth street, had a cali from three men, who ostensibly wanted her professional services. While she was reading the future for one of the men another struck her on the back of the head with a revolver. They then bound and gagged her and removed her diamond rings and other jewelry. An old woman, a relative, hearing the struggle, came into the room, and she was beaten on the head and rendered unconsojous. Florence Harris, a tenant, came downstairs, but was ordered under penalty of death to keep still. She escaped by a back door. while the robbers went out the front way. Mrs. Krolage and her relative are badly iniured.
