The Kenton Democrat gives the par
ticulars of the robbery of an old man
named Swimm, near Ada on the night
of the 2lst. 1t appears the old gentle,
man is very wealthy and somewhat
miserly, but usually carries about him
considerable sum of money, or bonds
of value. Gu the 18th he received
S3. 600 from the treasurer Ct Hardin
bounty, on a bond and interest; went
from there TO Ada, and made some
collections; thence to a Mr.. Preston's
about four miles south, for similar
purpose. He remained there over
night, but before retiring stepped ort
side for a few moments. He was
knocked down by parties who had
evidently been lying in wait for him,
and robbed as he claims of $40, POS.
He yelled and made what resistance be
could, but before help reached him,
the robbsrs had secured their booty
and effected their escape. At kentoI
he swoie out a warrant for the arrest
of j. F. Rice who resides near Ada,
charging him with the crime. Rice
was arrested and gave bail for his ap
pearance at the preliminary examina
