THEY BOLDLY ROB STORE AT HARBEsoN.
The SUSSEX Journal says: These pests
(tramps) from which we have been par
TALLY exempt heretofore, seems to have
found us out at last, and serious trouble
is apprehended. They are a lawless and
sometimes desperate set of fellows who
care neither for the property or lives of
decent people. They are enemies to
society and how to get rid of them is a
serious question in the public mind.
People who live in the country, and es-
pecially unprotected females, are at the
mercy Of these cut throats. The tramps
who broke into Marsh's store, at Harbe-
son, last week, We're behind the counter
when Marsh went into the store, one ran
out and the other leveled at Marsh pis-
tol which he had found on the desk. The
weapon was heavily loaded and the balls
passed close to his head and are now i'm
bedded in the wall. It is bad enough
to break into a mans s store, but to shoot
him with his own pistol is too bad. The
tramps were armed with six shooters
and the owner of the store had nothing
to defend himself with.
