citizens of Bidgeville committed a
very serious offense when they cut
the main wires OF the P. r. r. on
morning at o'clock, thus
cut.ing OF all communication to and
from headquarters OF the Penn VI
vania Railroad. The negroes evi-
IDENTIFY did not intend 10 commit such
a serious crime but in stealing wires
broken by the recent storm, accident
y cut the main wires. Train dis
pitchers found that communication
could be gotten as far north as
and as far south as
Greenwood. and so .Ocated the
trouble as between the two towns. |
A.t,r seEdins out repaigmen they |
ocatcd the trouble and found the |
negro youths s;iil up tn, poles |
stealing what they thought to be
useless wires. They were arraigned |
,efo.e Magistrate Hewes and held for |
