intelligent. stopped at one OF our second
class hotels She told the landlord that
che had but little money. and wished to
stop With him few days. The good
natnred landlord told her that that was
all right-that he would hold her trunk
e. seoarity for all deficiency in his regu-
lar charges Tor his board. Nothing more
VAS said until this morning, when the
girl informed him that she wished to 90
to st. Louis. and asked, with tears in
her eyes, for her trunk, and the loan of
$lO. This the landlord refused, at the
time, to comply with, but demanded
about ~ due him on board. She said
that she had no money; that her trunk
contained valuables that she could not
dispose OF in Decatur, and promised
him quick remittance as soon as che
arrived in st. Louis. Everything was
arranged for her departure-the $40 fur
nished her; but, as she was getting upon
the st. Louis train, An officer from

The OUTLAWS latest news from
Robson County. N. O.. may be found in
the following paragraphs, which we clip
from the Ro6esomi0n:
"The excitement at Scufaetown pro-
dnced by tho many rumors and reports
that have been in circulation here for
the past ten or twelve days having in
measure snbsided, the public mind now
accepts the following as probably the
true state of things in Scuffletown:
"Henry Berry Lowrey was not drown
ed or killed by himself or his brother,
but has quietly left the County, taking
with him the largest share OF the pro-
oeeds OF the robbery of Mr.. McLeod's
safe; Boss Strong is not dead. but badly
wounded, and as soon as he is able to
travel, the rest of the band will follow
their chief"
In an editorial on the state of affairs
in Robeson County, the Robesonian
mentions that Henderson, the CORES
pondent of the New York Herald, had
been outlawed by board of magistrates
of the County, and that O posse had
been sent in pursuit of him. la another
part Of the paper, however, the Ro6eso-
nidm publishes tho following contradic-
tory paragraph:
I'VE stop the press to say that the re-
port noticed elsewhere in this paper that
Henderson, the 80 called Herald CORES
pondent. had been outlawed and was
being pursued by the oonstable's posse.
seems to have been untrue. Henderson
came down to this place yesterday, and
returned by the next train witho 1T mo-
lestation. He was entirely unar1ncd."
