At Longwood, about 9:30 o'clock Thurs
day night, just after the postmaster had
left the office and before he had time to
reach his home, negro man passing the
office saw light in the building and started
to enter, when the light was suddenly ex-
tinguished. A few seconds later. however,
the burglar, supposing ne had been mis-
taken in the noise. or that the party had
passed on, made another light. The negro's
suspicious were this time aroused and be
went and Informed Messrs Brewster and
Parks. TIE latter sent the man for assist
ance, and repaired to the postofice with
their sole weapon OF defense-a pitchfOrk
The informant had gone but a short dis
tance when he heard pistol shots, and on re-
turning found that both MeSsrs. Brewster
and Parks had been shot, the latter quite
seriously. The sheriff was at once notified
and soon arrived on the spot, but tue burglar
had made his escape. Mr. Parks was s1ot
just below the collar bone, and if internal
hemorrsage sets in his recovery is consid-
cred extremely doubtful. Deputy Sheriff
Puckett arrived Friday morning, and
with q posse and the aid of blood
hounds will endeavOr to capture
the burglar and would-be murderer.
There is no positive clew by which he may
be identified. He secured nothing from the
store or office This is the third time this
Office has been broken into in the past eight
months. DIR. King WylIy of Sanford was
sent for and went to Longwood, and re-
ports that Mr.. Brewster is getting along all
right, but that he has fears for the recov-
cry of Mr.. Parks as the ball took a down
ward course and has not yet been found.
Mr.. Parks who was shot was not Newton
Parks, but his father. The burglar was
discovered IN the act of opening the safe.
