A BOLD Il0LD-UP.
Four Highwaymen Shot James
Clark Three Times.
They Commanded Him to Stop, and
After Badly Wounding Him
Took All His Money
and Left Him
for Dead.

James Clark, colored, aged about 81
years of Danville, Va, is in the county
hospital at Farnhurst suffering from gun
shot wounds received during an exciting
encounter with highwaymen on Thurs
day night.
He was walking along the p, w. " B,
railroad tracks towards this city between
10 and IL O'Clock when he met four
strange colored men. One OF them COM
manded him to throw up his hands. He
was little slow in complying with the
order, whereupon one of the highway
men drew revolver and shot him in the
leg. He was frightened and started to
run away. A second shot was fired at
him, the ball taking effect in his left
shoulder. He saw it was useless to run
away and turned around to face his pur-
suers.
The latter wanted to make sure OF
their work and the third shot was fired,
the ball lodging in Clark's breast.
The last shot felled Clark and the
high waymen lost no time in going
through his pockets. They appropriated
all of his money, S604, and left him for
dead. Clark was not so badly hurt as
the robbers imagined, and he managed
to get to his feet and made his way to
Newport, where he acquainted the night
men at the rolling mill with what had
happened.
The rolling mill men summoned DR..
Francis L. Springer, who dressed the
wounds, after which the injured man
was sent to the county hospital.
Detective Witsi is working on the
case. Clark is unmarried and was on his
way to this city to procure work.
His condition is not critical but he is
bad shape. DR.. James A. Draper, Jr.,
extracted some of the bullets from his
body yesterday.
