along in buggy through strip Of woods
to the place where the payments were to
be made, when the highwaymen stepped
out Of the woods and crying "llalt" they
shot the horse dead and also both the pay
masters. The money WAS in a box, and
was composed OF gold and silver, which
the robbers took and fled at once for parts
unknown. The daring act has caused a
great deal Of excitement here and all ef-
