Daily State Sentinel April 18, 1868
A crowd of outlaws, same thirty in number, disguised, made a most outrageous 
assault upon a young man named William Belcher, near Bacon Level, Randolph 
County, on the night of the 12th Inst. These outlaws inveigled Belcher out of his 
father's house, and after getting him some distance from the house, commenced 
shooting at him with their pistols, Belcher happened to have a pistol with him, 
and returned their fire, wounding two of the outlaws. The only reason for this 
outrage was, that Belcher had left his home in 1862 and served in the Union army 
and was with Gen. Sherman in his campaign. through Georgia.
