Mr. ~ O. Wallace drop you
this extract to inform you of the
horse thieves, etc., in this section.
There have been one or two at
tempts to catch them in the last
ten days, hut of no avail. We
understand that there are 6 or s of
them banded together all the time,
and they defy officers, law, and
swear vengeance on all that try to
arrest them and bring them to
justice. Thursday night, I be.
lieve, they waylaid Mr.. Dave
Stovalls house, in the edge of
the barrens, and shot him in the
face and arm. Next day they
burned Mr.. John Davis's house,
and all for being summoned and
trying to arrest them. Some
thing ought to be done and that
speedily. Men that have been
summoned and obeyed the sum-
mon to try to arrest them, have to
carry their arms with them
wherever they go, day and night,
for fear of being shot from the
hnshas or IN Tho II, Tb;s @
the reason why the people in
this locality are afraid to go after
them when summoned; they are
afraid of being burned up or as.
sassinated. There ought to be
a good deputy in this part of the
country, and summon men from
Fayetteville or elsewhere than in
this part of the country.
