HawInsville Dispatch Last Sunday night
between - ana o clock, w. Il. johnson.
young carpenter of this city, was returning u
town on horse ack from the country. ana Just
as he reached the mile branch. two men, each
with a revolver in hand, emerged
of the road, and cau7h t hold of the
bride and stopped his horse. Mr.
johnson being unarned, was, OF course, very
much alarmed. But he at ONE took in the
situation and decided to make the best of it
by trying to play bluff game. 10 withstand
ing the fact that his opponents held "a fun
hand. with such odds against him he fully
realized the great risk he was TAX
ing, but he possessed an iron nerve
ana displayed a GOODNESS that no
doubt chilled the wOuld-be assas-
sins with terror and surprise. He asked them
what they wanted, and. receiving no reply
proceeded to dismouut, at the same time
in the shape of carpenters rule. as if he
meant to open fire without further argument.
but as soon as he touched the ground and the
men got better look at him they let 20
their hold of the bride and quickly disap-
peared into the bushes from which they
came Mr.. johnson could not see well enough
to re .ogniZe the ZEN but thinks that one Of
latto. and the other negro as dark as mid
night. lie is at a loss to know whether they
were frightened away at the exhibition of his
rule or whether they mistook him for an
other party, and found out their mistake and
decided to let him go.
