Chester News, Nov. 27: Joe Rose,
an Italian workman, was held up yes
] terday morning, while sitting at a fire,
which he had made, in the woods near
Lewis, and robbed of a fine gold watch
and six dollars. In addition he was
badly kicked in the back and chest.
Rose said that he was on his way south
from Philadelphia, Pa, after work. He
got off the train at Rock Hill and could
not get any work there so he thought
he would journey through the country
| to Chester, thinking probably he would
secure some kind Of employment. He
reached Lewis about night and tried to
secure quarters, he said, but was not
| successful. He has not been in the
United States very long and does not
speak English fluently and it Is rather
| difficult to interpret his language,
| which is split between the Italian and
English, with most Of the split on the
former. He was asleep by the blazing
| fire In the woods when six colored peo-
pie, two with revolvers walked up.
One asked him If he minded their
warming by the fire. He said no. One
| Of the party next wanted to know what
| time 1t was. When he pulled out his
| watch, one Of them jerked it from him.
Inc next lIllIlS ue hHeW he was DelHS
| kicked about by the whole crew. They
then went through his pockets and got
a bag containing six dollars in silver
and currency, then disappeared. .....
