WHILE THE "TWO DESPERATES" ARE SLEEPING Their Confederates in the Scheme Turn the Tables—Blood Shed in a Briar Patch. It reached the ears of Tiik Knter- fkisk reporter last Friday that a plan was on foot on Wednesday night to waylay and commit a high¬ way' robbery on a young man in Carnesville. The rumor was investi¬ gated, and we give the story to our readers. The plan was a good one and smacked of Jesse Jamesisni, but was not successfully executed. The two desperate characters of the quar¬ tette were not thoughtful enough to stay awake, and were therefore de¬ feated in their scheme. Owing to the high standing of the young men who participated in the affair we sup¬ press their real names. Following are the facts as we learned them: Tarp White on Wednesday after¬ noon told Tom Fluty that lie intend¬ ed to visit a friend a few miles in the country that evening, and would re¬ main till about 10 o'clock. Immediately a plot worthy of Jesse James and Rube Burrows was formed in the capacious brain of Fluty, and he forthwith communicated his plans to his three chosen confederates— Tom Small, Monte Rube, and Seedy Burrows. The plot was to go to the dense woods in a hollow about one mile from town on the Athens road aml " aylav and rob White on his return. About 9 o’clock, while the town was settling to its usual nightly’ rest, and not a sound was audible besides the wail of a Thomas cat as he sat upon the back fence, the brigandish quartette, armed eapapie and heavily masked, “silently stole away” in dif¬ ferent directions, all to meet at the rendesvous in the hollow. Arriving at the appointed spot they placed themselves in position and awaited the coming of their intended victim. Growing weary, Monte Rube and Seedy Burrows succumbed to the music of the gentle breeze as it sighed through the tree tops in an¬ ticipation of the awful deed it was soon to witness, and wore soon j u the embrace of Alorpkeus. The hoot¬ ing of a lonely’ owl in the distance made the stillness oppressive and the gloom plentiful, and the consciences of Small and Fluty began to prick them, and their hearts relented, and they concluded not to stain their souls with highway robbery in the first degree, and, after consultation, agreed to abandon the scheme. But another difficulty arose, and that wan how to get rid of the other two of the quartette, for they knew. Alonte Rube and Seedy Burrows were des¬ perate characters, and would never agree to abandon the scheme. But Small and Fluty wore men of un¬ daunted courage, and possessed heads well stocked with imagination, cun¬ ning, scheming, etc., and decided on a plan which, if carried out success¬ fully, would satisfy the sleeping pair, and let them out innocently. They could not wait for AVhite, as the scheme they had in mind was to take advantage of the sleeping desperates, and change the program-of the first act. Small went up the road a short distance and came back at full speed, while Fluty rushed out and yelled “Halt!” in stentorian tones, discharg¬ ing his revolver rapidly. The firing and yelling aroused the two sleeping desperates, and Monte Rube leaped to his feet, as his clarion voice rang out; “AYhere’s the quart-at !” evident¬ ly thinking of something he had been dreaming of, jerking the mask from his face and flying around like an Apache on the war path. Seedy Rurrows awakened from his slumbers, rushed to the scene, and yelled, “AVhere’s the victim? I’ll rob him as sure’s lie’s a AA r hite man!” Fluty then told them that AA'hite had made a desperate resistance; that they dragged him from his saddle and pounded him with a revolver, but that he had broken loose from their grasp, and, though weak from loss of blood, managed to mouut bis horse, and had escaped to town to procure assistance to arrest them, and in the language of the cow boy, Small told them “they’d better skin out.” Alonte Rube and Seedy Burrows skint! They ran on ar,u on through the Martin plantation to the ri ver, up the river to the bridge, aml then in the direction of town. Fences, briars, hedges, bushes, canes, cotton and corn stalks all went down before them like the Reed before the next demo¬ cratic cyclone. But they did not stop! Their faces looked as if they had been kissing a gin saw in motion, and their clothes presented hail the appear- and auce of fodder in a storm, # Still they flew ! Small and Fluty came on the road to the bridge over the creek and waited for the desperate pair. They talked the matter over, laughed long and loud over it; they talked it over again, and laughed long and loud once more, and Still they waited for the desperate pair! They lighted their cigarettes, and let their voices mingle softly with those of the numerous oxen frogs, as they sang, “I stood on the bridge at midnight,” and then they laughed once more, and Waited for the desperate pair! Finally they' looked over the hill for the hundredth time, and on the horizon was the silhouette of two shadowy forms, cautiously and lislen- ingly making their way to town. In the meantime Tarp AVhite was ignorant of all these proceedings. But, alas! deception is a jim dandy! While AVhite was ignorant of the {»lan to way lay and rob him, Monte llubc and Seedy Burrows on the other hand thought that the attempt had been made, and that the sheriff and his posse were on their trail. AYlien the phantom-like figures drew near, Small and Fluty recog¬ nized the two desperates. Fluty told them to make their way quietly to their room, and appear ignorant of the affair. The two desperates pulled off their shoes and walked up the rocky hill and to their room on their toes, making no noise at all. The next morning Fluty told AVhite of the whole affair, and AVhite smiled quietly’ and said: “The end is not yet.” lie told Small and Fluty to pay *5 each for a “blind,” and lie would get *5 each out of the two desperates. And he did. They “bucked” like bronebos, but rather than have the matter brought before the public they borrowed the money, and White signed the follow¬ ing, exempting them from further trouble: For and in consideration of the sum of *20 1 solemnly swear not to reveal anything of last follows: night's occur¬ 1 rence, which was as As was riding toward Carnesville, about one mile from town, ! was attacked by four masked men—Toni Small, Tom Fluty, Alontc Rube, and Seedy Burrows—the intention and attempts of whom was highway robbery. [At this Alonte Rube said he’d be jump- down if he would have it that way’, but would own up to malicious mis¬ chief. The change was the made.] aforesaid I also swear that for amount 1 will not prosecute nor swear against anv of the above par- t i ca , al|( | this shall be a receipt for the money. T.uu* White. Witness, J. Wash. Alonte Rube and Seedy Burrows fought shy of the sheriff all day. Thursday night, surrounded by a very laughable crowd, White sum¬ moned the two desperates and made them a nice little speech, explaining the whole affair, and refunded their money, while the two very penitently fell upon their knees and swore by the stars of the big dipper that they would never attempt to rob another man, and would pay for the oysters for the crowd. Thus ends this story of attempted midnight robbery, with the exception of a few notes, picked up afterwards: AA'hen Alonte and Seedy awoke at the scene of action and were told that their victim had escaped, Alonte placed his ear to the ground, and lis¬ tening a moment, said: “Great good¬ ness, boys, he'll run my horse to death! I'll bet he’s going 30 feet to the leap. AVliv, look at these tracks,” and he pointed to the tracks appear¬ ed now and then in soft spots about 25 feet apart. The tracks however, were in the oppisite direction, but lie was too excited to notice it. Seedy’s thought of Jim Smith’s farm, and said, “Boys, what if they catch us and prove it on us!” and the corn field he ran through looked as if a wagon road had been newly made. The cotton will not have to be picked out that Alontc and Seedy went through, but will havo to be [licked Up. Get our prices on clothing and hats before buying. Me Co .we 7,1, & Cay vox.
