Last Wednesday morning, says the
Dahlonega Signal while United States
Deputy Marshal HARRISON, Dennis Hughes
and Budd Gaddis were over in Fannin
county in the interest of Uncle Sam they
were shot at by parties In ambush, one Of
the balls coming near enough TO the mar
shals head to satisfy him that the one
that discharged the gun meant mischief.
They had been to the house Of John Rod
gers, who is said to be the king of block
aders, and arrested the proprietor on two
warrants, one for Illicit distillng and the
other for Onspiracy-assisting TO whip
Phillips, which occurred in Union county
some time ago. Rodgers was handcuffed
to Dennis Hughes in order to prevent him
from attempting to escape and the jour

ter another Indian fashion. They were
marching along talking, with no intima-
ton of any trouble But just as they
reached the Morganton road, one mile this
side Of Rodgers house, two sharp reports
from long-ranged mountain rifles rang
out from a rock cliff fifty yards away
one of the balls cutting a small limb in
two before ii reached the marshal, some
twenty or thirty yards from the one It
was aimed at, passing near his head. The
officers saw no one, but returned the fire
In the course the rifles were heard and
proceeded on their journey without any
more interference and lodgd their prison
er in jail, who was afterward tried before
Commissioner Baker and bound over in
both cases.
