More Raids I1BOyle.

Raiders have chopped down every
toll-gate in the extreme western sec
ton of Boyle county, leaving only one
gate standing west of Danville. Six
gates in all were visited. No violence
was attempted beyond the use of the
axes on the poles and no threatening
was employed toward the
gate keepers The gates destroyed
the town of Perryville.
Guards were asked for for all OF the
gates destroyed and the gates will re-
sumo business under either the pro-
lection of the county or the State. AS
the raids were on the opposite side of
Boyle. we presume the usual cry, 1.-The
raiders came from toward Garrard"
will not be raised this tina.
