have got into the Missouri Legislature.-
Mr. Park, the editor Of the Parkville Lu-

about year since, and his press thrown

produced some excitement and threats of
personal violence. These facts were rom.

An, Attempt At Highway Robbery.
L. H. NoTr, one Of our Chestnut Hill
farmers, met with little adventure last
week. which is related in the Courant:
A bold but unsuccessful attempt at high
way robbery was made by two Irishmen on
Litehfieid County farmer. on Tuesday
night, about IL O'clock. The farmer was
driving quietly along, on his way to the
city, and reached a locality upon the road
about two miles west Of Piym outh-well
known to persons travelling this route from
the tact that the houses are painted black
when an Irishman sprang from some bushes
at the side Of the road and attempted to
catch his horse by the head but the horse
being too quick for him, his attempt failed,
and all he could do was to pick up stone
and throw at the mans head. The stone
hit the horse, starting him into run. when
another lrishman sprung from the other side
OF the road, caught the horse by the head
and brought him nearly to a stop; when the
farmer sprang from the wagon, for the rob
ner, who turned and attempted 10 run him
through with large butcher knife but
failing in this attempt, he received pow
.'rful blow from the farmers fist, which laid
hin fla, on his back-the other lrishman
coming up and finding whom ha had to deal
with. turned and fed. The horse ran about
mile, when he stopped under a shed. Had
not the horse ran, at least one of the robbers
would have found himself conveyed to saf.
quarters.
