Daring Burglary and Attempt at MUIR
|. - dprg -.

The most daring and determined attempt
at murder and hurgarly that has ever been
our province TO notice, was made last Sun
day night, in the village of Plymouth, in
this county We have the facts subsan-
TALLY as follows: During the night two or
three peasons entered the dry goods store
of Mr. n $. Bradner, by boring away the
door sufficient to admit the hand so as to
remove the fas eiing. A clerk sleeping in
the store, heard them enter, and immedate-
ly arose and partly dressing himself, took
loaded pistol in one hand and butcher
knife in the other, and sprang over the
counter, when one of the robbers fired at
him with pistol; the ball passing through
his shirt on the left side and lodging in the
door behind him. Sc Rough and Ready" like
and with the firmness OF old Hickory, the
young hero determined to task for nothing
but what was right, and submit to nothing
that was wrongs" immediately returned the
compliment, which must have been sensi-
bly, felt, as the ballet from his pistol could
nowhere be found, or any marks of it about
the store. The rascal promptly left, minus
his own bullet in the door, and for which he
carried off another in his person. At this
Juncture, second one of the gang snapped
his pistol at the clerk, which missed fire;
/ TIE ClSTk lSlL DttCh upon HIS IT,
sources his butcher knife, and sspitched
into" his antagonist like Pizarro, striking
h the knife into his body as shown by the
blood on the blade, from. three to four
inches. This accomplished a Palo Alto
victory. 1t was rather hot work, but the
store was soon cleared, the enemy took to
the chapparal, and the clerk was left
g Monarch of all he surveyedn He re-
/ loaded his pistol, and stepped to the door to
close it, when one of the gang again snap
4 ped his pistol at him, which again missed
/ fire. Pick your flint and try again. said
the clerk again offering them the contents
of his pistol, which didnot miss fire; wheth-
! er the shot took effect is not known, but he
heard no more from them-they g left on
suspicion The night was very dark and
rainy. Blood was found proiusely sprink-
1 led on the floor, door and counter in the
morning; his clothes were cut in several
places during the melee, but he came out
like old ''Rough aud Ready" unscathed,
which shows there was s'no fooling'' on the
part of the clerk Mr.. Bradner has offer
ed reward of $50 for the apprehension of
the burglars.
We have to add what will appear the
most strange part of the transaction, and
what is almost without parallel in feats
daring courage and cool bravery. The
clerk in question is a boy of only siateea
! gears OF age! his name is Eli Hendricks
/ lie has 6 seen some service' before, for
about month ago, as some person was at
tempting to enter the same store, and had
succeeded in removing part of the VIM
dow, a two-pound weight from the hand of
| young Hendricks sent him off bleeding.-
