Waylaid, Beaten and Robbed
The Assailants in Jail

lhc ASSaliantS In jail
About sundown last Saturday
evening Messrs Robert Hagins
and f M Shaver stal ted from
this place to their homes a few
miles South OF town. The former
was riding a mule and the latter
was walking. When they reached
the brick-yard about half . mile
from town they were simultane-
ously attacked by robbers. Mr.
Hagins was knocked from his
mule with rock and at the same
time Mr. Shaver was struck down.
The robbers rushed upon them
and beat them in the head with
rocks until they were unconscious
when they riHed their pockets aud
ran off down the branch at Jacobs s
hollow short distance, as the
tracks showed, and returned to
town. Dick McManus, col. and
his wife were passing a few
minutes afterwards and Mr.
Hagins, having recovered consci.
BUSINESS, called to them and asked
them to procure assistance. They
were brought to town and re-
ceived medical attention. Mr.
Hagins was found to have several
bad cuts and bruises about his
head and face and one of his arms
was broken above the~rist. Mr.
Shaver's most serious wound was
a fracture of the skull above the
eyes. He was bleeding profusely
and it took some time to stop the
flow of blood from one of his
wounds. He was unable to be
moved to his home and was taken
to Mr. w B Cauthen's where he
still remains in a critical condi>
! ton.
Messrs Hagins and Shaver both
claimed to have recognized two of
their assailants as Bob Furr and
Thany Clinton, and Mr. Hagins
thinks there was another man In
the party. Furr is the white man
who was severely dealt With by
white caps at this place a year or
so ago for neglect of bis family
and lying about town at die
reputable houses. They were
both arrested that night and lodged
in Jail by Sheriff Clyburn and his
deputy, Mr. Wilson. Of course
they strenuously deny anv con
nection with the affair, but in ad
dition to being recognized by
Messrs Haglns and Shaver a
leather glove was found in the
pocket Of Clinton which has been
identified as one Mr. Hagins wore
while working at his engine that
day and which he had in his
pocket when attacked. In search
ing Clinton when he was arrested
Deputy Wilson took the glove
from his pocket but put it back.
On Monday he learned that in ad-
dition to lis pocket book a glove
had also been taken from Mr.
Hagins pocket. He then asked
Clinton for the glove he had
taken from his pocket but put
back in it when searching him.
Clinton denied that any glove was
In his pocket and stuck to it de-
spite Mr. Wilson's assertions that
there was. Mr. Wilson was telling
at the livery stable Monday eve
ming of Cllnton's denial of having
had a glove in his pocket when he
was informed that one of the EN-
ployees had picked up a glove in
front of the stable shortly after
Mr. Wilson had passed with the
prisoner Saturday night. 1t was
