STANTON, VA. July 26.-rwo
young white men. Eugene Rhodes and
Henry Hunt, were held at Craigsville
for the grand jury and placed In jail
here, last night on a peculiar charge
made by Henry Hamilton. a highly
respected colored resident of Ford
wick. who claims they held him UP
on the road at night and compelled
him to swap horses, giving them
good young horse for a plug
Hamilton went to Staunton Monday
to attend court" and, incidentally,
to sell -year-old colt. After
staying In the city until very late In
the afternoon, and not having made
sale. ne set out on his return home.
Riding the colt he had travelled
as far as Mount Elliott Springs, when
in dark and lonely piece of road.
he was accosted by two men, and at
the point of a pistol compelled to
exchange the horse, bride and sad
die for another outfit not near SO
valuable. The holdup was executed
in out-and-out Jesse James style. and
the highwaymen made good their
getaway.
Arriving in Fordwick Hamilton
made known his experience and at
once called on Squire y. i. kunkle
and had him issue a warrant for the
arrest of Jean Rhodes. a horse trader
who lives in the neighborhood of
Goshen, and who Hamilton says was
one OF the men who held him UP.
The other highwayman the colored
man failed to recognize, but he is
quite positive that he has made no
mistake about Rhodes.
Rhodes is known to have been in
Staunton on Monday. and It is be-
lieved that seeing the colored man
there with his horse and knowing the
road he would take on his way home
at night, he planned the deal that he
IS afterwards alleged to have pulled
off in the dark,
