The former was rid*ng a mule and the latter was walking. When they reached ^ the brick-yard about half a mile from town they were simultaneously attacked by robbers. Mr Hagins was knocked from his | mule with a rock and at the same ,p, time Mr Shaver was struck down. . te The robl>er8 rushed upon them ^ and beat them in the head with ^ rocks until they were unconscious when they rifled their pockets and . ran off down the branch at Jacob's ^ hollow a short distance, as the ^ tracks showed, and returned to 01 town. Dick McManus, col., and . his wife were nassinxr a few! - ' V. IV) minutes afterwards and Mr n< Hagins, having recovered conseiousness, called to them and asked cc them to procure assistance. Ihey p were brought to town and re- . ceived medical attenton. Mr ^ Hagins was found to have several 81 bad cuts and bruises about bis ni head and face and one of his arms jj was broken above theorist. Mr . ^ Shaver's most serious wound was ^ a fracture of the skull above the ^ eyes. He was bleeding profusely and it took some time to stop the ^ flow of blood from one of bis wounds. He was unable to be moved to his home and was taken ^ to Mr W B Cauthen's where he ^ still remains in a critical condiS? tion. te Messrs Hagins and Shaver both fr claimed to have recognized two of Ji their assailants as Bob Furr and D Thany Clinton, and Mr Hagins ni thinks thefe was another man in S< i ^ the party. Furr is the white man 8e who was sevorely dealt with by ta white caps at this place a year or M so ago for neglect of bis family p< and lying about town at die- h? reputable houses. Tbey were cc i both arrested that night and lodged w in jail by Sheriff Clyburn and his J( j deputy, Mr Wilson. Of course nI j they strenuously deny anv con I nection with the affair, hut in ad dition to being recognized by Cl Messrs Hagins and Shayer a j, leather glove was found in the p pocket of Clinton which has been identified as one Mr Hagins woro ^ while working at his engine that day and which he had in his pocket when attucked. In search ing Clinton when he was arrested Deputy Wilson took tho glove from his pocket but put it back. On Monday he learned that in addition to his pocket book a glove . had also been taken from Mr Hagins pocket. He then asked J , Clinton for the glove he hud taken from his pocket but put back in it when searching him. Clinton denied that any glove was in his pocket and stuck to it despite Mr Wilson's assertions that there was. Mr Wilson was telling at th? I iv<?pv utiilvln vt nnclo J ..J | ning of Clinton's denial of having had a glove in his pocket when he was informed that one of the em ployees had picked up a glove in front of the stable shortly after Mr Wilson had passed with the prisoner Saturday night. It was produced and found to he Mrj Hagins' glove. Again, we are told that shoes of these men titted the tracks the robbers made along the branch when tleeing aftor <om- , mitting their dastardly crime. In following these tracks Mr Hagins1 pocket book containing his money was found where the thief had dropped it about 25 yards from the road. The public is terribly wrought up over this affair, and many now feel assured that Mr Kingstaff, whose body was run over by the .. train at Boar creek trestle, the (I Saturday night previous, was murdered, robbed and his body placed on the trestle. It will t>e membered that the engineer saw iro men out to one side of the ack near the trestle that night ith their hats drawn down over eir faces and with their hacks rned to the train as it passed. rURB CON F KSSKS. Yesterday morning Bob Furr, e white man charged with Thany linton with the robliery of essrs. Hagins and Shiver, made full confession of his connection ith the affair. Ho said that hany and Wash Clinton commitd the battery on Messrs. Hagins j id Shaver while he (Furr) rifled leir pockets. Ho also described { iw he and Thany ran down the i ranch and came back to town but s could not tell what became of 'ash. Sheriff Clyburn went it and captured Wash who was lund to have a handkerchief of I ir. Shaver's in his pocket. The | jgroes strenuously deny any, lowledge of the affair but their j nintenances betray guilt when j urr faces them with his confes? on. Aside from the confession lere is circumstantial evidence iffieient connected with the recog* tion of the parties hy Messrs. agins and Shaver to convict lem. They will be apt to spend I le remainder of their days in the ' late prison. n Kscaped Convict Captured .Jim Seegers, colored, who was i mvicted in Lancaster county in j *92 of manslaughter for the, tiling of Frank Hilton, col., and i intenced to ten years in the penintiary, and who made his eKcnjie j om the Stale farm the 16th of: illy a year ago, was captured in : Arlington county last Friday I ght by Messrs S B Roberts and aaborn Sims of the Longsville! iction of this county. Ho was ken to Columbia Saturday by lr Roberts and delivered to the | anitentiary authorities.
