detachment and took possession Of the cars IN the
name of the State.

engagements TO clear their land of the incumbrance.
One of the men were taken sick here and three
men were left to attend him. Some time in the
night, before the train was brought in about one
o'clock, two men az this place, having little whs
Ky aboard stole their guns. One Of the men was
caught, who, we suppose, will be shot or hung to-
