Joke on two well known and popular gen

VERY truly, CHAs. T. Caldwell.
The other gentleman, Hon. K. II. Freer,
writes in about the same vein, and is equally
emphatic in his denials.

Robbed Of -Four Hundred Dollars.

Charleston Times: Mr.. Joseph Reeder,
who lives at Loup Creek, says he was &C.
cOSted by two men on the railroad, about
halt way between here and his place yester-
dsy evening and robbed Of about four hun
dred dollars. Mr.. Reeder came down on
the passenger train yesterday from Nuttls-
burg, where he had gone to draw some
money on school draft. Meeting some
acquaintance here he stopped over and
walked on down the railroad in the evening.
When within about two miles Of home he
says he saw two men setting on the rail.
