Bushwhackers
Summary
The Examiner reports that three sutlers’ wagons loaded with oats were commandeered by bushwhackers ten miles south of the city on the road to Hyattstown and taken to Virginia, according to Provost Marshal Capt. Faithful. The wagons had stopped at the tavern owned by Wm. Tabler, who was arrested on suspicion of having knowledge of the attack. One bushwhacker may have been Tabler’s son, and all of them may have been members of Nick Dorsey’s gang.
