THE SWAMP OUTLAWS.
The RumOrs Of LoWry's Death.

WILMINGTON, n. G., March I.
Reports of the death of Henry Berry
Lowry, the chief Of the Robson county
]banditti, were prevalent here on SUNDAY,
but it is not known certainly they are
correct. One report had it that he was
assassinsted by his brother during an al.
tercation, or Immediately after a quarrel.
Another rumor has leaked out to the cf-
feet that he was drowned while fishing in
the Lumber River.
The greatest interest is manifested in
everything said or done in reference to
these ''swamp outlaws" and consequently
the rumOrs. have created considerable ex-
element and no little discussion. The
general opinion here is that Lowry has
either been killed, or that the rumors
have been started with a view to throw
sand in the eyes of the authorities. as it
Is we'll understood the Governor has be-
come so far interested as to sanction an or
gaUizatlon of the militia to secure the
band, dead or alive.
Gentlemen from Robson county who
arrived in this city yesterday, as well as
those on the day before, place no credit
upon either the rumor that Henry Berry
Lowry had been killed in a fight with his
brother Stephen or that he had beer
drowned while on a drunken fishing ex.
cursion in Lumber river, both of which
reports prevailed in this city on Sunday
last. ln fact, we learn from parties who
arrived on the train yesterday, that he
has been seen since the reported killing
or drowning took place. The daring out
law, we have every reason to fear, is still
in the land of the living and as bold ant
dcfe0t as evsr,--Wilnington Star.
