News of the dastardly attempt
to murder Richard Potter, a
worthy'did citfaren living near Pot
ter’e B 1 tiff,'about one mile South
of Rising Fawn has just come to
light. It has been kept secret
ainco Che night of the 4th, so that
• # < , ■»
the guilty party might be appie
heuded. It seems that some one
was aware of the fact that Mr. Pot
ter had some money. And so the
night of the 4th it being very dark
they took advantage of the dark
noss to rob Mr. Patter. About 10
o’cloed Mr. Potter heard some one
heliowing at the gate and got up to
see what they wanted, aud just as
he stepped out. into the nail some
i one shot at him. Mr. Potter then
ja« back i t he. house to arm him
-1 veil when .-another pistol ..shot, lyas
i tired. Mr Potter armed himself
% -
, and gut back to the front uoor when
!he heard soma one moving off m
i the*diccctidh of Rising Fawn in a
carriage l Mr. Potter says he has
his the party spotted and will push
them to the full extent of the law.
i Mk. Edit&k : Under the head
jof “The Facts” you very kindly
called attention to a report being
circulated in this county, which l

contract with the Rising Fawn Iron
‘Company, either writen or-verbal,,
that they should not work convicts
on their property sold them by him
or any one else 1 never was in
formed of it, and any person who
charges that I did know of such a
‘contract, or that I sold such con
tract or privilege to tho
Riving Fawn Iron Co., or
anyone else,' or destroyed said

WHY NOT?
Whom the A. & C. R. R. was be
ing built- our citizens went wild
with delight, and their energies
and their money were expended
for tho building of what th«y
thought would be the moat pra
cious boon. Stanton failed and
carried down men who had staked
thoir all for tho construction. of
the road ; ‘he iiUlc - vn of Trenton
‘■was left in bank:m.toy, but they
had a Rail-Kcrui-
We have now the same road but
what are. the accommodations? The
very train we would patronize run«
by at a rate of forty miles per hour
and an old freight may stand at
the station‘half an hour, and tho’
you. may want to go its way you
dare not hoard it. While our rights
* .«
are* not respected or recognized, the
law*; are trodden down, and an out
raged people subject to injustice.
If jve cannot, accure all we wculd
bave, v we shquldg as Cleveland rec
ommended in his fishery message.;,
“resort to reialiotory imeamiros.
No train.efin i>o. run through Tron-.
ton or Rising FaWn. at a rate ovsr
. * i *• !t ,
six milea pur .hour, without a vio
lation of the law,’and at this rate
it could be very Palely boarded in
cay oof an emergency. While
(at least w© do not) desires to 'in
jure the rpii road company in its
business, yet as citizens living
along its line We are entitled to a
certain accommodations which
should not entiroly bo ignored. If
the people will unite in an effort
wo ern secur© accommodatious bet
ter than what we have. Lei u« do
it. Why not?
