A DARING RoBBERY.-A most daring
robbery was perpetrated about six miles
from Stanton, on the Parkersburg turn
pike, on last Saturday evening. The victim
was Mr.. Virgil Shultz of Highland county
who was returning from Staunton. As h
was walking along the road behind his team
he was accosted by two negroes, who asket
the distance to S:aunton. Whilst talking t.
them, Mr.. S. held his pocket book in hi
hand, he having been looking over som
bills when the negroes approached. ANON
the bills were 500 in currency, which on
of the negroes grabbed, and the othe
knocked the book from his hand, and bot
ran. Mr.. Shultz pursued and succeeded i
overtaking them, but they refused to Civ
up their plumber and threatened persona
violence if he persisted. Not being arm ed
he returned to his wagon, and going to
neighboring house left his team and in com
pany with several others started in pursui
They were unable to overtake the rascal
though, and coming to town, Mr.. Shultz ii
formed the police, who with their accuston
ed activity set to work and the next morr
ing were rewarded with the capture of til
men, who gave their names as Jack Wi
liams and Jim Goodoe. They were trie
before Justice Kinney and sent on to tn
Grand Jury for Indictment. Only porto
of the money was recovered.
Shortly after their trial telegram wa
received from Hinton, stating that they ha
: also committed robberies in that vicinity.
