Searching Expedition,
from the New Holland Clarion,
The bulk of the pretty thefts that arc
committed, Abe BuzEari knows nothing
about, and we have it from a reliable
source that no is annoyed great deal by
them, as he is aware that he is blamed for
all OF them.
Another thing-Abe BuEzard is not a
desperado. The newspaper have made
him so, but such is not the case. He never
murdered anyone, and never committed
| highway robbery, for which business, were
| he SO minded, he would have paradise on
! those long aud lonely mountain roads. It
| is true that Abe carries rife, but that
is more for effect than anything else,
because 1t is only small single shooter,
| and as means of defense, at de-
cent range, it would be useless, as one
man with six shooting British bull dog
| revolver could fire the charges all of t.
Abe's one shot. He acknowledges that he
steals, but s renuously denies ever molest.
ing or Gaking anything from tho-N who
cann~t aiforu it. 1t is beyond question
that be takes great delight in boing lion
lied, and spoken of as n mountain outlaw.
About ten days ago John Roland of this
place, aud George Yarnell, drover from
Media, Delaware county, were driving
. across the mountain ana at some point
they came in contact with a party of men
at a shooting match. One OF the men
jumped mp axo'aiming "Are you men
coustsbles2 ? I'm Abe Buzzard." Messrs.
Roland and Yarre of course did not, at
the time, think it was he, but since then
they have learned that it was the veritable
Abe.
! Another thing is certain Abe doesn't
want any moro with him than Lppiucott
a because last Sunday he told Joe not to
4 follow him aut skinny" There is abun-
n daut reason, too, for him not wanting ANY
!. more. lie aud his pal aIe compelled to be
n on the move continually They range
= along the south side Of he We'eh noun
p t.in for distance of about six n leg, ant
: of course they must frequently stop in a.
a some friends hOu'e over night, or for
|. meal, aud it would not do TO have
=, company with them. Abe Buzzard shoulC
by all means be captured, because then tn,
greater paIt of the robberies that ar,
4 committed by other parties would cee SO
a as they would have no cloak TO hide thei
- msdeeds under.
10 Friday morning party of men fIor
"a BOTmansville again went to the Welst
"a mountain to search for the stolen lowe
to of D. B. Shitfer, a rumor having reache
a that village on Thursday that certai
, oOlored men on the mountain were see
~ wearing watches. The party returne
III home, however, without securing any
"a the goods or clue to the robbers.
