FRIGHTFUL TRAGEDY IN ST. LOUISA
public house on the levee at st. Louis
having been lately frequently entered by
burglars, the barkeeper, named John Da-
Wis, armed himself with a revolver and
bowie knife on Monday night week, with
a view of keeping watch. The Morning
/ Herald says:
| Between u and | o'clock he was ava
| kened by hearing some one enter through
| a small window in the rear. There was
/ no light in the bar-rOom, and after de
! handing of his visitant who he was and
| what he wanted, he fired at him one
| charge of his revolver, which, strangely
enough was loaded with powder only.
/ The load took effect in the right shoulder,
setting the fellows clothes on fire, but OF
course inflicting no injury on the burglar :
! person. At this moment thu burglar,
| whose name subsequently proved to be
/ Nicholas Watkins, made an attack upon
Davis with a pocket knife, which Davis
/ succeeded in wrenching from him, not,
| however, until he was severely injured by
having the open knife drawn through his
hand. Davis, terribly frightened. and
with full comprehension of his own great
danger, made an attack upon his violent
and unseen assailant which i without q

which we have ever heard.
With one blow of his bowie knife

with blade seven inches in length-he
stabbed Watkins to the heart the knife
severing one or two ribs and passing
through the heart and lungs. The blow
was quickly followed by eighteen or TWEEN.

it was found on the post-mortem exami

In the meantime Davis was Justify call

the act of lighting the gas. Watkins wa,

but few seconds after the entrance OF
