04/04/1837 Robbery - A most daring robbery was committed, a short time since, by three individuals, well armed with rifles, who arrived in a skiff, at the plantation of Mr. Everette, just above Randolph, in Mississippi county, in this state. The villains burst open and rifled the trunk of the overseer, containing about $200 in money; appropriated to themselves an elegant pair of pistols belonging to Mr. Everett, and a vest, in one pocket of which was about 445 in bank bills. They next fell upon Mr. E.'s trunk, and were in the act of bearing it away, when becoming alarmed at the approach of the overseer, they ran to their skiff, pushed out into the river, and made off with their booty. Though instantly pursued, these reckless and impudent scoundrels have not as yet been taken. It is but proper to remark, that these fellows are not citizens of Arkansas, but were from above.
