ONE ARMED WITH AN AXE
WAYLAID IN THE DEPTHS OF y
SWAMP.
ROBBERY COMMIT ed, THE kEGR0ESFltO
Mr.. Laughinghouse Had Sold His tobacco IN
GreenyiIIe and Was Going Home. An
Armed Posse With Bloodhounds
in Search of Robbers.

Greenville. Y. c., Feb. 16.-(Special.)-
Mr.. j. j. Laughinghouse, Pitt county
largest and most prominent planter, was
waylaid and robbed of eleven hundred
dollars while returning home from
Greenyille this morning, his assailants
being four negroes.
Mr.. L~aughinghouse came to Green
vile Thursday to sell tobacco and re-
manned here over night with his son,
DIR. Charles Laughinghouse. This
morning he went to the Bank of Green
vile, drew five hundred dollars cash and
six hundred in Norfolk exchange and
started home about $50 o'clock. When
crossing a swamp seven m les from town
four negroes sprang from the bushes and
assaulted him. Three We're armed with
pistols and one with am axe, They de
manded his money and after obtaining
this fled without doing him bodily harm.
Mr.. Iaughinghouse drove Oh hurried
" to Grimesland from which point he
~telephoned TO Greenville. 4 posse of
armed men quickly organized to go and
hunt the robbers. Sheriff MOring tele-
graphed for bloodhounds to be sent here
by special train. The dogs reached
here at Z p. NJ, and We're taken at once
to the scene of the robbery. None Of
the searching party have yet returned.
The robbers no doubt knew Mr..
clearinghouse was here to sell tobac-
co and would return home with the
money.
The negroes are believed to be in the
heart Of the swamp, and the prevalence
of water, due to recent rains, may make
