| Threatening to kill the conductor |
| The Lynchburg Republican says that on
Friday, a party of
Arkansas
soldiers, after arriving at Liberty, on the {Virginia &} Tennessee
Railroad, arrested the conductor and put him under guard — swearing
most solemnly that if he failed to make the connection at Bristol, they would kill him and all connected with the train. The conductor
was allowed to telegraph for an extra engine,
by the aid of which he succeeded in making the connection, and thereby
releasing himself from custody. |
