NP, WD 8/27/1861

From the Western Democrat (Charlotte, N.C.)
 
August 27, 1861
 
$500 Reward
   The Superintendent of the Wil. & Weldon Railroad offers a reward of $500 for the person who attempted to destroy a train on that Road by cutting the beams and stringers of a bridge. If the person is caught, he should be hung immediately. Any one who is wicked and mean enough to attempt to destroy a Railroad train with its hundreds of innocent passengers, should not be suffered to live another hour in this world. Keep a good look-out for all such scamps on all the Roads.
