THE zEIGLER EPISODE.
What a ZeigIer Merchant Says of the
Attempt to apture the zeigIers.


Zeigler, Ca, May 4-Ed!tor Morning
News: In correction of that arti-
Gle in Sundays paper about the
attempt to capture the Zeiglers. I wish to
say that the parties came in the dead of
night from Millen, Ga, and concealed
themselves in a dense patch OF scrub oaks,
with the intention Of entrapping the Zeig-
lers in my store. Mr.. S. E. Bolton and my
self were held up by them one-haf mile
from here. as they were forced to beat
retreat Mr. Morris may claim that the
Zeigler brothers misstreated him. If he
says so he states what is not true, as /
was present as were other witnesses. The
Zeiglers went up 10 Mr.. Morris and asked
him a few simple questions, how he came
one here, etc. II seemed from observation
that Mr.. Morris was somewhat confused.
I write this simply to let you know the
whole truth
Mr. Hobby never asked me what time
they came, and he supposed 10 or II o'clock
in the morning, instead of y o'clock at
night. w. B. Getzinger.
