of an unusual degree and arousing a
considerable racial feeling In this place
Two nights ago the store of Greenberg

place. was robbed of large quantity
building being effected by means of
ladder which had been left standing
on the outside of the building In
few hours Sheriff Sedwick received
telegram from Hugh Wood. merchant
OF Rileyville. ten miles north OF Luray.
Informing him that two men had ar
rived at Woods store and tried to
purchase a dry goods box in which to
place a large lot OF mems clothing
which they were carrying on their
backs. The sheriff at once summoned
Chief of Police G. W. Siisher. of Luray,
TO accompany him to RifeyvilIe to ap-
pIouenu tAS suspects. arriving at lndt
place they had no trouble In nndiny
and arresting the men. They awaited
the arrival of train No. ~ on the Nor
folk and Western Railway, which ar
rives in this place at $40 p. NJ. AS
soon as the officers aliEhted from the
train they were met by a large and
not too friendly crowd. They soon met
one Of the owners Of the store from
which the merchandise had been
stolen a short while before The own
err OF the merchandise at once recog-
nixed some of the wares that was worn
by one OF the robbers. This recoEni-
ton was the signal for the merchants
anger to assert itself. Running up
to the prisoner, handcuffed to the sher

willard blow, staggering and knocking
down the prisoner In irons. At this
juncturs. Sheriff Sedwick arrested the
offending merchant and started to the
county Jail with the trio of prisoners.
Some OF the ellow-countrymen OF the
merchant at once began strong align
ment of defense Of the merchants ac-
ton. which. they asserted. was highly
provoked. and for time the assertive
power OF cooler heads prevented a
serious elimination Of the crime which
was initiated by two robbers climbing
into a window and abstracting their
needs from an unsuspecting mercantile
firm The trial Of the merchant will
be given precedence over that of the
robbers.

However, children, as a rule, are
