One evening last week, as NJ. H.
Seeley was returning home from Austin,
when in the woods just beyond Warmers
mill, he was accosted by two men, who
invited him to give up his money. Mr..
Seeley, thinking it was some one fooling
him, told them to get into the wagon if
they wanted ride. They told him they
did not want ride, but his money. Then
seeing that they were armed, he gave up
what little he had. They then left in the
direction of town. Some young men,
with their girls, were coming this way,
and chased the ruffians into the brush.
There is no clue as to who they were.
The location of the robbery, it will be
seen, was on the eastern outskirts of this
city, and not 1.-TWO miles east of Rose
Greek" as the Register had it last week.
