ANOTHER VOICE FROM CAROLINE

Bowling Green, Va, April 20.
To The Free Lance:
notice quite frequently in the
public press anonymous eommuhica-
lions touching present political con-
ditions and candidates. One such
appears in your paper of today from
this county signed S. NJ. ID. IL
strikes me that such communications
should and do count for very little
when they are delivered from
ambush. We all need to be enlght-
ened both as to measures and men,
and surely if a man has anything
deemed by him of worth, to say TO
his fellow-citizens touching public
affairs, the weight of his name and
character should be added to his
words. Words are cheap, but char
acter and manhood are priceless
jewels. The effectiveness of the
gun depends altogether upon the
man behind 1t.
write this hoping that our
county correspondents will give
their views on these subjects under
their own names.
Respectfully.
A. B. Chandler.

HELD UP IN WOODS
Exchanged Shots With Highwaymen.

Ex-Sheriff j. II. Judd, of Culpeper
was held up Tuesday night in the woods
near Culpeper by two highwaymen.
Judd was in his buggy when one of the
men grabbed his horse and the other
caught the left hand of Judd ordering
him to hand over his pocketbOck Judd
said he would obliged him. drew his
pistol, pushed it on the breast Of the
highwayman and fred The highway
man shot at the same moment. HIS
shot grazed Judd's cheek. The high
wayman fell backward. when Judd
fired another shot in his back. The
robber holding the horse rushed to the
assistance of his comrade, leaving the
horse free. The reins having gotten
away from Judd during the shooting,
the horse ran away, but Judd managed
to get parting shot at the pair, and
stopped his team up the woods, none
the worse except for a penetrated hat.
Wednesday morning the sherif's
posse went in search of the highway
men. Bloodhounds were procured from
Louisa. The hounds followed the trail
only az far as the blood stains went. A
heavy rain prevented them from trail
ing any further.
The community is excited, and ex-
poets the capture of the highwaymen.
Ex- Sheriff Judd is a Confederate vete-
ran, having served under Mosby. lie
said it was very dark in the woods and
he is unable to say whether his assail-
ants were white or black.
