mine, and | was driving home when met tn
man who was with m" ON TN. road. He aSk.'
me To give him II ride and | did so. He said h,
wanted To &c, some thugs h. had left in y corn
field, and | was waiting for him TO get then
whCu | was shot. That's all ! know about it. =
Yesterday NilcS's wife and brother came Il
White House 20 see him. They appeared To b
very much shocked when they heard that h
was suspected Of robbery. Nilcs's companion
is supp ,Scd to be lack Hail. and. like him, to b
n member of the Whvo Gang Of Raritnn. Thi
gang is n terror to the simple country pcopl
for miles around. Many houses have lee,
robbed by the members OF this gang, m,
while many OF them have been arrested at od,
times they have always escaped with very Ugh
punishment.
The farmers Of POtt 'rstowr need not fee
proud OF their work, for there is no good rcaso,
why one of III" thieves got away. If the cap
tdrcd man hadn' t given himself up he wOul'
not have lCcn captured.
