HIGHWAYMEN At WORK.
Two Negroes Hold up Young Men,. Both
the Robbers Arrested.

A Concord dispatch of the 18th,
to the Charlotte Observer, tells
the following story:
A bold and daring hold-up was
attempted on the public highway
last Saturday night four miles
from this city on the Betty's ford
road, near the home of R. V.
Caldwell, and two negroes, John
and Shep Gilmore, are in the
county jail charged with the Of
Tense. John Gilmore be ars a
wound in one shoulder and was
struck without effect in two other
places by the balls from the pis-
toll of one of the young men of
the party.
Messrs. Will Cannon and R. A.
Sossam On, young men of Cornell
us, came to town Saturday to see
The Clansman, young Jay Can
non joining the party on the road,
The boy rode horseback, while his
cousin and Mr.. Sossaman were in
a buggy. As they returned home
Jay Cannon led the way. When
at the place mentioned above,
two men sprang from the side of
the road each seizlng a rein of the
horses and commanding the men
to throw up their hands. Mr..
Cannon fired on the robbers and
n dropped as if wounded. The
young men went to the home of
W. r. Cannon where they remain
ed the rest of the night. The fact
that John Gilmore was shot came
to light yesterday morning when
he sought medical aid through
one of his neighbors. The two
negroes yer landed in jail today
and will be given a preliminary
hearing before Esquire Pitts,
John Gilmore says that he was in
a row with some darkies at Da-
wilson Saturday night, but Jay
Cannon recognized him on the
roadside as he paaed him. The
Gilmore negroes are a desperate
set and have figured many times
in the Cabarrus courts.
