Bold ATTEMPT AT HIGHWAY ROBBERY
On Friday night, as young Mr.. James Mo
Connel of Bowling, was on his way home,
when out on the Bowling road, beyond Cam
den, was hailed by two men who seemed TO
be at some distance ahead of him, near the
road. They called to him to stop, but he did
not think best to obey and touching his team
with his whip, increased their speed, when 8
shot was fired. He touched up his team
again and another shot was fred. By this
irving home he found bullet hole through
his hat, and smother through the shoulder of
his coat, and the skin, On his shoulder, slight
grazsd. He did not feel the shots at the
time.
1t ia supposed that the villains were watch
ing for two men from Bowling who had sold
e lot of hogs, in this city, that day, and re.
oeived the money for them. These foot pads
probably intended to waYisy and rob them,
ana murder Ii necessary to attain their OBJ
ject. Fortunately they did not 90 home that
night, but staid at Bsllows's farmers Taveyn.
In this city.
Whoever the sooundrels ma, be they fired
pretty close shots--closer than w.s healthy
for Mr.. Mcconnell
Are our roads to be given up to highway
robbers? Or shall the scoundrels be huA>s 4
down and driven out? They ought to b.
hunted out, by the whole community.
