Mr.. A. Henchman, an extensive wagon
dealer, having several houses in Texas,
started Saturday night, ut o'clock with
tonr very fire horses to pasture, seven miles
dis ant on South Bosque, and was met by
five robbers, who were on too', but had JUST
disn oun,ed. They called on him to throw
up his hands, which he did with revoIve,
in each, and commen led firing. H. saw
two fall headformost and heard third cry
out that he was wounded. One of Hencn-
mans horses was shot, and he then used
the horse as breastwork, firing twelve
times. The robbers quit firing and wen
to one Johnson's house, and told him they
they had had fight with the pluckiest
man they ever struck, and said that two OF
their men had been killed. Thev
said the would give Johnson $500 to g.
quietly and bury them, which johnson re-
fused. They cursed him and told him to
keep still till - NJ. next day, which he did.
They remarked they could bury their dead
and be seventy miles away the next day.
Deputy Sheriff Moore found a hat eho,
through the band, with blood and Drains
on it, but neither of tho dead bodies have
been found yet.
Henchman received seven wounds, which
cut the skin, but none were dangerous
The robbers received nothing but no, work.
1t is generally believed that Henchman
killed two and probably wounded third.
