On Wednesday last party of four or five
men attacked the residence of gentleman
named Callahan, living near Pleasantville,
Bedford county. The male members of the
family resisted them, but were overpowered,
one of the Galatians being severely stabbed.
The women took fight as soon as hostilities
were begun, and were not molested. The
attacking party secured two or three watch
es, between SIS and $50 in money, and sew
eral other articles of valve. They were
unknown to the Galatians, and are believed
TO be the gang of tramps who have com
mitted so many outrages in Bedford and
Somerset counties during the past year or
two. The party started for the mountains
after accomplishing their purpose at Mr..
Callahan's, and it is not probable they will
be captured.
