JOHN BROWNS RAID.
An Expedition That Came TO Grief In
Untontown.

A young grocer named John Brown,
doing business in Uniontown, in company
with several of his companions, started
out Thursday night, after closing his
store, to play "kidnappers" on some un-
suspecting colored person for little fun.
After walking q short distance they met
thoir FIRST and only victim, an
old colored man, whom they seized
and told they were going to fix him
up for medical college. The old
man became very much frightened, and in
attempting to free himself from them
threw Brown down, breaking his leg.
Ho was removed to his home and physi-
clan summoned. Ho says he will not try
to perpetrate any moro practical jokes.
