The New Hampshire Gazette And Historical Chronicle

On Wednesday, the 12th Instant, pretty late in the Night, two Men were found lying in the Lancaster Road, about 13 Miles from Town, in a most distressed Condition, and must have died. it is thought, before Morning, if they had not been taken up by some Persons going that Way. One of the Men, after a while, so far recovered, as to tell that they were met by two Men on Horse-back, who used them most barbarously, and robbed him of Six Pounds; but what they took from his Companion, he could not say, as he did not know what he had about him: this Person, we hear, is likely to recover, but the other was so badly wounded in the Head, and, it is said, his Scull is broke, that it was feared he could not live.
