Eanes as he jumped from an east-bounu
freight train I'm the western part of the
city. is one of the parties to the highway
robbery near Lynchburg. and that ne Is

her of new pistols were stolen. fatter-
son had two new pistols on ms person
when arrested, and would nave useu
them I'm resisting arrest II ne hau hau
the chance He says that the TWO ne
proes who Jumped off the train with hihi'
and who escaped, were armed WIN pis-
tolls. and that they would have killed any
one before submitting 70 arrest. 1hey
showed their pistols as they ran away.

drawn TO other markets. Inc secuoh

IL tributary to Petersburg as a market
