HOW sILAs sHAFFER WAS RELIEy
ED OF go.

Uniontown Standard.

Uniontown Standard.
Silas Shaffer, well-to-do farmer
living near Brandonville, w. Va,
was robbed of about $40 on the pike
near the summit last Friday even
ing.
Mr.. Shaffer brought a load of farm
produce to town Friday which he
disposed of to good advantage and
then, loading his wagon with goods
for the store of Richard Waddell in
Brandonville which he had been en-.
gagged TO deliver, he started on the
return journey. Before leaving town,
however, he INDUCED pretty freely in
the ardent, and got considerably un,
der its influence. At the extreme
end of Hayti he was accosted by a
colored man who asked permission
to ride, stating that he wanted to &c
over the mountain to hunt work
Mr.. Shaffer, who is Of an accommoda
ting turn, saw nothing peculiar in
his wishing to go from a section
where work is plenty to one where II
is comparatively scarce at this sea
son of the year and took him up
Arriving in Hopwood Shaffer stopped
a few moments at the house of his
sister, Mrs. Marshall Sillbaugh, To
whom he showed his money. She
discerned his condition and
warned him to fire the Negro
out of his wagon or he would be rob.
bed Of all his money before he reach
cd home. He refused to take hei
advice and boasted that he had Of
ten carried more than that and never
lost any yet. He however said he
would walk awhile to overcome the
effects Of the whisky which he did,
leaving his passenger to drive.
Early Saturday morning Mr.. VIM
Olewine came down the mountain
and informed the people Of the vii
lage that Shaffer had been found
the evening before lying dead drunk
in his wagon and his money and the
negro gone. Samuel Hixon then be.
thought him that he had met man
answering the description Of Shat.
fcr's companion late the night before
and that he had inquired the way to
Moore's. Mr.. Shaffer on recovering
sufficiently went ON over the noun
tain with his team and goods, so that
it could not be learned what steps he
will take to recover his money or
punish the thief.
Mrs. Sillbaugh describes the sup
posed thief as "bacon colored
dsrkey with black mustache," and
believes that he must have watched
her brother making his sales, and
seen him displaying his money which
he has a habit of doing when he gets
little inebriated. Mr.. Shaffer is a
man of about 40 years of age, and
owns farm Of over hundred acres
which he cultivates very successfully.
He is not believed to have been in
jured as his condition rendered the
task Of relieving him of his money
one of scarcely any difficulty. His
friends in Hopwood are however
somewhat anxious to hear from him.
