highwaymen; who proceeded with uns

up the gambling house at Columbia

George Harvey, the colored porter of
the place, while attempting to make
his escape, was shot in the right thigh
and in the left leg just above the
knee. Both are flesh wounds.
Carl Carlson, who also attempted to
escape, was shot, at; but the bullet
missed it's mark.
The highwaymen proceeded with the
greatest deliberation, and although
they went through the pockets of a
dozen men, they maintained truly
remarkable oomposure during the en-
tire transaction.
On taking their departure, the high
waymen tossed back two dollars for
car fare.
The holdup had plainly been
planned, and there is belief that one
Of the robbers has frequently visited
the gambling house during the past
few days. The men showed every evil
