John Andre, driver for John Lang, gro
Ger. at No. 70 Barnard street, was on Sat
urday night the victim Of robbery, that
for boldness and daring, equals the work
of the most reckless gang Of road agents
in the Rockies.

Barnard street about 1890 O'Clock with
wagon fall of groceries to be delivered in
the Southern part OF the city. 1t was his
last TRIP FOR the night. de drove rapidly
but 10 was between i and II O'Clock be-
fore he got all but the last order delivered.
He turned into Drayton street, and had
just passed Gwinnett street, oppo-
site the Confederate monument, when
be was ielled nom his seat by a terrible
blow. lie lost consciousness for mo-
meut, and, dropping the reins, rolled back
into the wagon. but quickly recovered.
He telt singing sensation IN his head,
and the blood was flowing from deep
gash in his right temple. Picking him
self up he looked TO see if the groceries
were all right.
The uudelivered baskettul was gone.
he jumped from his wagon, and
as be did so caught sight OF
negro with the basket under
MS arm running across the open parade
ground toward Whitaker street. He
shouted for help and gave chase TO the
negro, but WAS unable to overtake him or
10 get close enough to identify him.
Staggered by the blow, and blinded by the
blood from his wound, it was with diff
Guilty Andre got back TO his wagon. In
one OF the baskets under the seat he
found heavy cobble stone as large as his
two fists, with its jagged edges covered
with blood.
The negro had waited behind tree
till he came along and running up TO the
back OF the wagon hurled the stone at his
head. Andre was sitting sideways on
the drivers seat and the stone struck
him in the temple instead OF in the back
OF the head. The negro seized the bas-
ket and made of. Andre thinks there
were more IN the COB. though he only saw
one. Tying his handkerchief around his

There are five or six men in the party and
a number of women and children, Quite
a crowd gathered about the camp yester-

were as great curiosities as were their an-
imals and outfit. The party came through
the lower part Of South Carolina
on their way hither, exhibiting at all the
plantation gates and country cross roads.
1t is said that while they were in that
country the colored population did no
work, much to the disgust OF the planters
who are getting ready for the next crops.
