finished the highwaymen bade their vic
tims a courteous adieu and said they
would call again when broke. They then
backed a short distance into the brush
and secreted themselves until the car
moved on. The names of part of the
passengers and amounts lost by each are
about as follows : A. D. Stewart; E. 0.
