Genealogy Trails Potter County Pennsylvania News Crimes and Robberies Mr. and Mrs. Davis Robbed and Beaten Up The Potter Journal, Coudersport, Pa., August 6, 1857 Outrage - A Man and Woman nearly Killed by Robbers. It is our painful duty to place on record the main facts of one of the most fiendish outrages that our section of country has ever been the scene of. On Saturday night, 25th ult., the house of Mr. Davis, of Shippen, McKean County, was entered by three persons, who to procure access called Mr. Davis, an old man to the door telling him they wished to obtain lodging for the night. They were admitted, and while Mr. D. was lighting a candle at the fire, one of the ruffians clinched him and threw him down, commenced pounding him, all the time demanding his money. Another proceeded to the bedroom where he found Mrs. Davis, aged about 60 years, whom he fell to beating and finally left insensible having nearly "gouged" both her eyes out. A third went to another room in which a visitor, Miss Ensign was sleeping, but she having heard the noise in the other rooms, had cautiously crawled out of her bed and when the ruffian entered the room was so concealed that while he was unable to see her she could see him; he in the meantime failing to find her, commenced making threats of vengeance dire if she ever lisped a word in respect to their visit and while throwing his hand around him to give emphasis to his threats, she says he came near striking her on the head several times. After he retired, the three seemingly knowing to its position, drew out the old gentleman's trunk in which were kept his money and papers and carrying it into the yard, proceeded to rifle it. They however only succeeded in obtaining about $10, as Mr. Davis had that day paid out nearly all he had, about $60. The robbers then left, threatening to return and burn buildings, destroy cattle and murder all the people of that vicinity if they were pursued. Mr. Davis soon returned to consciousness and on looking for his gun could not find it and the next morning it was found several rods from the house in the grass. Having no near neighbors and not wishing to leave his wife in the perilous condition in which he found her, Mr. Davis gave no alarm until about 10 o'clock Sunday morning. Some of his neighbors then started in pursuit of the villians and traced them to Mr. Seth Taggart's, about one half mile south of this village and where they entered the woods and crossing the river evaded this place. They were seen by some young ladies, near Mr. Taggart's, at about 5 o'clock in the evening. No further trace of them was discovered until the next day, notwithstanding several of our citizens were dispatched in various directions by the Sheriff, when they were found to have passed the night in the school house near Mr. Joshua Jackson's in Sweden township, about eight miles east of this place. They robbed several hen-roosts in that vicinity and proceeded on their way, since which nothing has been seen or heard of them. We have not room to further notice this high-handed outrage than to state that though Mrs. Davis' life was for awhile despaired of, she is now getting well. We hope the villains may soon be brought to justice.
