a bill repeating the Act passed about
forty years ago incorporating the town.

proper and looks to an enlargement of

old must give place to the new order Of

var Of 1873 shall no longer be hampered
with the five cent .tom-foolqry Of the past
The idea of such # town as ours only be-
ing allowed By law to extend al to sub
stantial improvements Is ridiculous, and
we seHeereIy hope that Mr. Snipes may
succeed in his Efforts to clear the old
charter from the road of ErcCress and
give Us new one with enlarged powers,
so that Bolivar may 50 ahead without

ellsburg had been raided by four daring
desperate highway. robbers. 1t was as
certalned upon inquiry, says the Eouis~
Vile Ledger, that four young men, at the
head of whom was one Teburn McEneI-
ley, young man Who was born and
raised IN the Immediate vicinity of Har-
rodshurg, and whose parents are of good
moral standing, had mutually agreed to
form a combination for the purpose of
robb1ng the coach of the mails ard the
passengers of their Valuables MeEneIl "
was to be their leader, and was to plan
the attack. They chose Thursday even
ing as the time, and point about eight
miles from HarTOdsburg as the place of
attack and accordingly at the appointed
hour and place they seereted themselves
behind an obstruction, waiting for their
prey.
After a few moments the rumbling
noise Of the coach coming over the pike
could be heard, and in few more sees
Onds 1t hove IN sight Now. the hearts
of the VI laInS seemed TO hutter as the
stage drove up abreast of them, when
suddenly McEnelley sprang forward and
in a disguised voice commanded the
driver, Mr. Clemmons, to hault. The
surprise was so great that the order was
Immediately obeyed, when Nee leaped
upon the iron step leading to the TOP of

loaded pistol at the head of the driver,

Just atthiS instant a gentleman pas
sengor inside The stage, who had observed
the movements outside, low cred the side
window ana simultaneously with the
actiun, showed a pistol close to the temple
of the daring McEnelley and fired, the
ball piercing his brain, killing him in
stantiy, The cOufederates of the victim
were following closely behind him, but he
came alarmed at the death Of their leader.
and in Il moment Of Cowardice they turn
ed and attempted to ESCAPE, Tut the clear
grit of the passenger inside, who at once
climbed ont, gave courage to the other
occupants Of the coach, and they all dis
mounted and gave chase, and in a short,
but decisive race, succeeded in capturing
| two of the escaping robbers, who were
unhurt, and safely placed in the Harrods
burg Jail. The fourth man, wEo, by the
way, was a 1eetfooted, cowardly scoun>

The passenger who killed McEnellev is
said to be a Mr.. Roberts, and it is said
that after the occurrence he offered to
give himself up to the authorities OF

prisoner, but was sommoned as witness
in the case.
