Highway Robbery

On Saturday night the 13th inst., while James L. Colyer was returning tohis
home in the upper part of our county, from Mount Vernon, was attacked byfour
men in disguise coming from the bushes on the side of the public roadwith
drawn weapons, who stopped his horse and first demanded his arms, Colyer,
although a brave man, seeing that he was overpowered gave up his pistolwhich
was returned to him after the robbers had drawn the loads; they thendemanded
his money which hthey got, amounting to the sum of $100, and also hiswatch,
which they examined and threw against a tree, it being of small value.

Mr. Colyer has been for some time past a deputy Sheriff of our county, isa
clever gentleman and makes a clever and vigilant officer.
