morning, between IL and IL o'clock, as
a Mr.. Geiger, who il in the employ of
Mr.. Noah Huffman, of the Lexington
Fork, was on his return homo from
Colnmbia. in small wagon, he was
assailed by a colored man, choked
until senseless, and his watch and
pockes-book stolen. A young son of
Mr.. Huffman's, who WAS in the wagon
asleep. being aroused by the scuf1ing,
screamed and gave an alarm, which so
frightened the highwayman that he
made of. Mr.. Geiger finally regained
his senses. and, after notifying some
parties of the affair. proceeded home.
The money stolen was the proceeds of
the sale of load OF fruit. A double
barreled gun Or a pistol is q proper
companion for an individual who is
compelled to travel the roads leading
to Columbia. The robbery in high
places has become contagious.
