PrTTsBuRo, April iG.-A special from
UniontowD, Pa, says: The gang that
tortured and robbed old man Yoder, near
Meyersdale, Sunday morning, and were
tracked to Pinkerton, are evidently the
McClellandtown bardlts, making their
way back into West Virginia. The two
who stole Coughenor's horses, near
Ursiua, Sunday night, rode them TO
Markleysburg, where they abandoned
the horses, aud In their course rode
through the town OF Addison.
The other two men oil the gang fol.
lowed behind afoot, and were discovered
robbing the smoke-Louse of william
Hanna, near Addison, yesterday morn
ing. The owner followed them and was
Joined by his brother John, John Walker
and Mr.. Augustine, farmers, all armed
and mounted, who overlook the two
robbers and placed them under arrest
One of the robbers was placed in bug
gy with Mr.. Augustine and the other
behind John Hanna on his horse. They
has been too much exc cited, however, to
dlsarm the thieves, aud they, at a signal,
covered their captors, made them throw
down their arms and walk across the
fields with uplilted hands until out OF
sight.
The two cool-headed ro5bers then
mounted their raptors' horses and rode
to the West Virginia line, where they
joined their ccnfederates aud took TO the
woods. The Addison people believe that
one of the two captured answered the
description Of Lewis. Great excitement
prevails In the Marleysburg aud Elliott's
Mills vicinity over the outlaws return,
and they fear more cruelty at the hands
OF the gang.
