The Huntsville Weekly Democrat November 23, 1881
LOCAL NEWS

Mr. C. M. Davis, manager of the Beirne plantation, informs us that much 
stealing is going on in this neighborhood – that unknown thieves stole a bale 
of cotton from him and hid it in the mountain, where it was, fortunately, 
found; and he has, also, lost seed cotton from his gin, and hogs put, for safe 
keeping, in the horse lot.  

Rt. Rev. Bishop Wilmer will officiate in the Church of the Nativity in 
Huntsville, on Sunday, Dec. 4.

John L. Hay, a clever young typo on the Independent, is quite ill with typhoid-
malarial fever at the residence of this cousin, Miss Kittie Mann, in this 
city.  We hope he will soon be at this “case” again.

DR. A. B. SHELBY has removed from Meridianville to Huntsville, to practice his 
profession.  We welcome him to our city as a most worthy gentleman and an 
experienced physician.

Robbers in the Lone Star State
---------
  St. Louis Nov. 19 – A special from San Antonio, Texas, says the 
International stage, while going to Laredo, was stopped by two men this 
morning, sixteen miles from Laredo at Dead Man’s Hall and the passengers and 
mail pouches were robbed of money and jewelry, but the amount is not known.  
The passengers were Mr. and Mrs. Meddlewait, Mr. M. Long, H. Josie, B. F. 
Chill and Dr. Spayn.  The lady was not molested.  Officers are in pursuit, 
though the robbers are, doubtless, safe in Mexico now.
  A special from Austin says that, last evening a freight train, standing on a 
side track a few miles from Palestine, was attacked by seven masked men.  The 
train men were driven off and a dozed [sic] cars robbed of their contents.  It

  It is further reported that three masked men robbed a store and post office 
at Smithville, Bastrop county, yesterday.  The robbers were two young men, and 
are still at large.
