Brunswick Times: From all accounts
there seems TO be a gang Of outlaws commit
ting depredatlons along the road leading from
the South Bound railroad roadway to Bruins
wick. Wednesday two white men came into
town and went to DR.. X. E. L. Burford s

that one of the men was badly wounded, his
shoulder and breast being filed with small

had proceeded for about two miles, they were
halted by stout negro man with shotgun,

highwayman all he had, $40. The other lab

through the woods. DR.. Burford extracted
the shot and dressed the wounds, which were
painful, but not serious. Some days previous
TO this a negro was waylaid on the same road

side. Then he began to tear wildly at his
blouse, while strong smell of burning cloth
permeated the atmosphere: The small boys
set up shout: DE daRo's on fire." they
yelled delightedly. This was just
what was the matter A coal
from his fat, queer-looking cigarette
had dropped and lodged somewhere
near his waist. In his excitement he had diff
ficulty in finding the fastenings of his tog-
gerry and did an impromptu can-can that laid
the danse duventre completely in the shade.
While this was going on the boys had barrels

shrieked. The wretched oriental finally got
his blouse open and pulled out folded news
paper charred and smouldering. He had
probably put it over his chest for warmth

spoken during all the excitement. The
chances are that after this he will use less
