Lancaster, June 21, 1779. Fifty Dollars Reward. Run away
from the subscriber last evening the 20th instant, a Negro
man named Dan, about 24 years of age, 5 feet 4 or 5 inches
high, much pitted with the small-pox; his dress when he went
off is uncertain, as he had sundry cloaths with him,
amongst which are, two coats . . . [4 lines] Said Negro is
fond of playing the fiddle, and has a good deal of money
with him which he acquired that way; no doubt he will be
particular in changing his dress, and endeavour to pass as a
freeman. Whoever takes up and secures said slave in any goal
so that his master may have him again, shall have the above
reward, and if delivered to me in Lancaster, one hundred
dollars. [signed] Christian Wirtz.
N.B. A white man is in company with said Negro, for which
there is a reward offered.
