Story of the Oapture of these Highway
Robbers.
In June, 1820, the neighborhood of
Potter's Mills was disturbed by the
noted robbers Lewis and Connelly,
who lurked in the Beven Mountains,
and made incursions for purpose of
plunder,
Hammond & Page, merchants of
Bellefonte, were receiving at that time
a stock of goods. They had three
teams hauling them. One in particu-
lar, being loaded with the costliest
goods, in crossing the Seven Mountains
broke down, and it being late, they
drove on to John Carr's tavern at Pot-
ter’s Mills with the remaining wagons,
[Lewis and his party overhauled the
goods and took such as suited them,
and then started for Potter's Mills,
with the intention of robbing Potter's
but John Carr observed them at
the shutters, and they fled and were
followed by the few that could be gath-
