If the deposition o . a man supposed to be dying is true, - vone of the most bold, and cowardly highway robberies ever heard occurred : todiy four miles from Monroe. Last night a young man, Lowry, whose par ; ents live In the county south of here, came to Monroe from Alabama, on his wav home to spend Christmas. He re mained in town last night, and his trunk not having arrived, concluded h would go down to Wingate to see his uncle. As it is only six miles he start ed to walk. After leaving town he met a young fellow named Nicholson the two having pieviously known each other. Nicholson and Lowery, talking )n the usual way, walked on together. After a while Nicholson said: "Let's swap guns. ' Dowery replied all ngh: and drew his pistol out and handed i, to Nicholson to look at. As soon as the latter got the pistol, he jumped in front o f the .other man, and said, ''Damn you, pull off that watch and hand it here." Lowery said, "What do you mean, Bill?" The other replied that he meant to have that watch or kill him, and the watch was handed over. Receiving it, the robber then demanded what money his victim had, and received it, too, $9 or $10. As soon as Nicholson had se cured this, he delioerately rnsed the pistol and shot Lowery. The ball struck the man fair over the heart. !i.l hit ting some memorandum books in the vest pocket was deflected to the right. Not being shot down, Lowery wheeled and ran. Nicholson h'ed again, the ball taking effect in the lower part of the b ick. One more shut was fired, but the bail went wild, and Lowery contin ued to run. Reaching a negro house near by. the alarm was given and soon the neighborhood turned out. i Nicholson was caught, the watch, a 32-calibre pistol and 'J were found on ti,a iiivi Mil.'- r,r-rm.- if tin n'uin ate Lowery's story exactly.
