Named Entity Results, Harper's Ferry (West Virginia, United States)

Robbing. --Some of the Federal forces still visit this side of the Potomac for the purpose of robbing. Two horses attached to a wagon, belonging to Mr. Wm. Crow, of this town, were taken at Harper's Ferry on Tuesday last by a squad of plunderers, who crossed over for the purpose. The team had gone to the Furry with two ladies to get some household property belonging to them. Mr. Crow is a private gentleman, advanced in years, unconnected in any manner with the war now existing, and it is an outrage upon the part of the Federal Government to tolerate such petty acts upon private interests.
