An EXPRESS CAR ROBBED.
The Express Messenger UnIocks the Safe
to Save His life.

GRIFFIN, Ga, Aug. 21.-The express
car in charge of j. |. Byne was held up
by three masked men and robbed just
east of Collins station last night.
Conductor Reed says he stopped at Col
Inns to let off colored man and when the
train pulled out he saw no one get on,
but his engineer saw three men standing
on the side of the road and they got on
the front Of the express car. Just as
the train left the station Mr.. Byne, the
messenger, says one. of them entered the
car with his pistol drawn, followed by
the other two, who ordered him to un-
lock his safe, which he did at the point
OF their murderous looking pistols.
The men were OF medium size and
wore as masks portions of black hats.
They also wore large black aprons.
Immediately after going through the car
they rang the bell and when the train
was nearly at stand still they jumped
and ran off through an old field. Con-
ductor Reed, who was making his way
to the smoking car, where he supposed
a row was in progress, saw one of the
men running and says he expected the
fugitives had cut some one and was
making his escape. Messenger Byne
says he does not know the amount taken
but that in their hurry the men over
looked some very large packages. 1t
was rumored that the amount was
$50 900.

his brother, Bud Low, who was recently
wounded in the shooting ARRAY on the
train near Golen Castle, both started
from here yesterday to go to the home
OF Henry Low, about six miles west of
this place. 1t has been thought for some
time that the enmity between the two
Lows and the Bases, which has been
existing for Two years would cause
murder before many days passed. Shots
were fired at them when the two
brothers reached the gate Of Henry
Lows house, the latter at once drew his
revolver to return the fire. Five or six
shots were fired, Henry Low receiving
a wound in the head which will prob
ably result fatally. 1t is not definitely
known who was the hidden assassin,
but Curt Bass has been arrested.
Much excitement was occasioned here
by the news Of the shooting and il is
feared by some that mob Will be
organized by the friends of Low.
