Mr. Wiggs pulled his.' reins tightly and tried to break - away. As be aid, tbe highwayman . et go his hold on the horse and struck Mr Wiggs in the face with some obstacle. Mr Wiggs drove rapidly on to Mr Goodwin's store. . He thought he was badly hurt but he was not. The object struck h!a eye and pained him very much. . . Mr. Wiggs remained in the store possibly thirty minutes and resumed his journey to Raleigh. As he reach ed Rocky branch bridge, two men stood on either side of the road. Tha rider bad a half suspicion that the men intended to attack bim, but thought that being so near tbe City they would hardly attempt it. Mr. Wiggs surmised wrongly. As be started to pass between the men t'jey made a leap for the horses' bridle. Mr. Wiggs was surely in a dilem ma. 1 wo able bodied men, ootn white, held his horse by the bridle. He urged his horse ' fop- ward and attempted to break away. The effort was vain. The man on the right pulled a pistol from his overcoat and pushed it uncomforta bly close to Mr. Wiggs' face.
