They had cave on their fathers farm 10
which they held their night orgies and
deposited their booty, as tie marks ?lSy
They would perhaps not have been did
covered, but wanting an addfsiouat -hsud
in the robbing of Mr.. Dotsey's store,
which was sathera bold affair, they, after
repeated opportunities, secured the ard OF
an, old mah so yeara of age, BY the namS
of West, After they got the goods

the elephant in q lottery, they did not
know what to do with them, as they had 4
no use for, them. They therefore started
the old man West to peddle them in Wss-
tern iVirginis. He was arrested and
