Five Men Overhaul llliu on the Fn fo ur Koal. Tie Him. Drive Him Ten MilettThrwtiu'li the Country and IColt II tin. M. F. Kestler, a Davie county man, today lodged complaint with the oiheers that he was assaulted on the public highway, tied and robbed. His story will appear quite a strange one to the people of this civilized community, but Dr. Wilder, who examined him, testifies that his body shows evidences that he has been handled by rough hands. Kestler says that he is from Davie county, and to substantiate that claim, shows a certificate which in dicates that he is an agent for Mrs. Fccles for the renting of a Davie county farm. He has been out on a peddling tour, going through the country in a wagon with a young woman whom he calls hisneice and a boy whom he says is his nephew. He was coming towards Charlotte last Sunday morning from Union county, and had just crossed the Mecklenburg line, when the wagon waa surrounded by five white men. They tied him hand and loot laid him in the wagon and then taking charge of the team, drove through by-roads for ten miles, when they stopped in the vicinity of the iron bridge in Cabarrus county. Here his captors held a consultation as to whether or not they would kill him. The woman and the boy cried so piteously that they decided it wonld be too bad to kill him, so they went through his wagon. They got all his cash, amounting to 04.80. Ut this they said he must give up $25 for practicing dentistry without a license (he had cleaned teetn tor a woman in Union county) and $30 he must pay for carrying concealed weapons, a3 they had found a gun in his wagon. The balance, they said, he must surrender as costs. They divided the money equally among themselves, shot off his gun and threw it back in the wagon, returned his watch, untied him, and departed. That is his tale. lie gives the names of his assailants and warrants have been issued for their arrest Char lotte News. was fouud in 'Squire Long's yard, Amanda Williams, who lives near which read as follows: Lodo.

The corn and cotton has come out considerably since the recent rains. If the seasons continue favorable there will be almost an average crop made yet. Fiu'it is very scarce with the ex ception of blackberries. They are abundant, and blackberry pies take the day now. Rev. J. J. Renn, of Salisbury, preached an excellent sermon last Sunday at Centre urove. Dr. J. C. Brown and son, 1. A., or Monroe, spent a day or two at Georgeville doing dental work. Messrs. Widenhou3e and Shinn have found another rich gold mine. This one is on the lands of W. M. Widenhouse. The vein is about four feet wide, and the ore is worth $:30 a ton or more. If they do not sell they will put up a stamp mill and work it themselves.
