They Demand the Release Of Their
Women from Lumberton Jail.
A CONFLICT IMMINENT.
Desperate Character of the
Gang.

WiLMISarON, N. c., July II, 1871.
Since that recent conflict with the Sheriff
and his posse in Robson county, In which
four citizens were killed and a number wounded
the lawlessncss of the Lowrys and their gang
knows no bounds With the capture of their
women as aiders and abettors, these negro
outlaws have become more desperate than
ever, and now they threaten to deluye the
county in blood if the women are not released
at once.
Besides the women, Pop Oxendine, one
Of the most notorious of the gang, has
been captured aud lodged in Jail here
for safe keeping, as the Jail of Lumber
ton, the county seat Of Robson, has never
held any of them as prisoners longer than they
desired to remain.
A few mornings since fifteen of LOwry's
gang emerged from the swamps armed TO the
teeth, and went TO the house Of Mr. John
McNair, and demanded breakfast, which was
speedily furnished them. At dinner time they
visited the house of Mr.. Bridgers, where
they dined in like manner. Henry Berry
Lowry, the leader of the gang, whose wife Is
now prisoner NJ LllnDertOn, Oruereu DOtu OF
these gentlemen to inform the Sheriff that If
the women were not instantly released he
would devastate the county and deuge it in
blood.
The Sheriff, having obtained a supply of
arms and ammunition from the city, re-
fused to liberate the women. and returned a
defiant answer to Lowry's threats. This
morning Lowry and his band of negro out
laws waylaid and killed Daniel Murdock
Mclean, prominent citizen, and Hugh
Mclean, his brother a youth only thirteen
years old. They also wounded Archibald
McCollum. These parties Were riding along
the public road in a buggy and were fired on
from thick piece of woods.
A state of terror exists among the women
and children in Robson county. The Sheriff
has posse of $50 men in the field, but their
efforts thus far 10 capture the outlaws have
been utterly fruit!ess.
The most intense excitement prevails in the
county, and bloody and deadly conflict is
hourly expected, as it is now matter Of
life and death with both citizens and outlaws.
