RUN, AND THEN FIRE SEW

Athens, February 3-(Special.) LAST
night while returning from visit to his
sister. who resides a few miles from the
home of his father in the southwest part
of the county, Oscar Hamilton, was set
upon by four masked men who stepped
from the roadside. One man caught the
mule by the bride and the others ordered
him to dismount. He was searched and
on his person was found so 80, four 50
bills and the other in silver.
The currency was taken and the silver
returned to him and he was ordered to
mount and see how fast he could ride. As
he rode off they began firing at him and
several balls passed through his clothing
but fortunately none did him injury.
He went to the home of his father and
related the circumstance. He said he
tried to recognize voice but failed. All
of the men wore masks and he could
not tell whether they were whites or
negroes. Each was armed with a re-
volver. He thinks they knew of his visit

dense alongside the roadway. This IS
the first hold-up reported in this county
