Mrs. Terranover had heard the shots and recalled baving seen two colored men a short distance from her home about an; hour “after she heard the three sharp reports of a revolver.

While two of the highwaymen searched Costanza and took his. money, the other pointed a reolver at him and at the same time close watch in both directions. B za made a report of.the robbery Jjust es quickly as possible and a posse | headed by Constable Thompson made ; an unsuccessful hunt.
