ATTEMPT TO MURDER.-UNNAT-
URAL CRIME The feed store of Mr..
A. Sanford, near the lower eEd CT
Broad street, and in the rear of the
JOURNAL Office, was the scene of a
most diabolical attempt to sob and
murder on Saturday night last, at
about midnight. 1t appears that Mr.
Sanford has been in the habit of res
firing and leaving the iron doors of
his store open TO allow his son, who
might be QUITO enter. A fellow NAM
ed Brooks. who together with the son,
are both State Prison birds, had been
sleeping in the store for some weeks
past. On the night ofthe attempted
deed, Mr.. Sanford was awakened and
saw two villains over him one of
whom had long knife in his hand as
If about to strike. The demand was
made for the key to the safe. The
cid man shouted "murder !" Justify,
and was instantly struck in the mouth
with the knife, the blade entering
beneath the tongue and penetrating
to the depth of an inch and half.
Closing his mouth firmly he grasped
the arm Of tie assassin and wrench
ed the knife from him, receiving Il
thrust in the hand and a severe cut
along the inside of the fingers. Mr..
Sanford succeed in getting hold of his
pistol. when the villains left. The
cries Of Mr.. Sanford alarmed many
in the town who SIZED to the scene.
"A man was seen to come out Of the
store and run up Broad street. Mr..
Sanford, thos4gh bleeding profusely
was able to request the arrest Of
Brooks and his own son. The for
mer when brought i'll the presence of
Mr. Sanford was recognised as the one
who stood over him with the drawn
knife. He had on a broad trim
hat at the time, and light carried by
the party revealed lis features plain
ly to Mr., Sanford who knew him we'll.
Young Sanford, his father knows was
in the store at the time as he heard
his voice. He was arrested outside,
also an italian named Scola who had
been intimate with the other two for
some days. The arrests were made
by Marshal Tompkins and officer Ri
der The accused are in Jail await
ing an examination. The knife was
secured and will probably be idenii-
fed as belonging to Scola I is the
unanimous opinion of the public that
young Sanford is at the bottom of the
whole affair." Mr.. Sanfold. at this
writing is improving, and is able To
converse.
A negro, called Henry Rafel, was
arrested on Wednesday who was un-
doubtedly engag ged in ihe transaction.
He is an old offender, and the indi-
vidual who threw himself overheard
once on a trip to San Quentin. The
whole party will probably lie exam
iued to-day at 10 4. NJ, at the Court
House.

HARD FIGHT-REsIsTING OFF
chRs.-A man named Apperson with
a much bunged up countensnce sought
officer Rider at about two o'clock on
Sunday morning last. stating that lie
had beeu beaten by Frank Williams,
and requested that the beater be ar
rested. Rider in pursuit of his game
went to the Virginia House, where he
found small crowd in the bar@room,
and was told by the landlord that
he would not allow Williams TO be ar.
rested in his house, and advised the
officer to make himself scarce. Rider
sent for Marshal Tompkins who soon
arrived at the sceEe of disobedience
to law, and the two officers proceeded
to make the arrest of Williams who
had fortified himself behind the bar
and armed with ho.tlen. Rider as
saulted the fortifcation while Tomp-
kins beat ulf vastly superior reliev-
ing force on the outside. The intre.
pid Marshal received severe blow
on the back of the head with Il pistol
early in the engagement, and finding
himself in close quarters surrounded
by a number of the enemy, he drew
his pistol and fired. He is an unerr-
ing shot. but in the melee the pistol
was knocked aside so that not bull
let took effect. An assailant named
Crawford, also fired upon the Marshal
twice, the bullet once passing close to
his face. Tompkins by this time
Was lion aroused, and clubbing lis
revolver by few well directed blows
laid some of the assailants low and
held the rest at bay. Crawford was
among the fallen and was secured.
Rider, in the meantime. after a hand
TO hand conflict of few inmates suc-
eeeded in closing up the visual orbs
of Williams effectualiy, and by a sci
entifc propulsion of fists, pounded his
antagonist frontispiece ''into con-
glomerated mass of nihility." He
was also secured and lodged with
Crawford in the calaboose. The pro-
prietor of the Virginia House was
brought before Justice Smith, on Sun
day and find $50. Williams was
also fined the same sum on Tuesday
and Crawford held to bail in the sum
of $4,000 to answer to the charge of
an assault with an intent to murder.
Tompkins was very seriously bruised
and cut about the head. The marks
of the fight and pistol barrel bent to
shoot around corner by a blow over
somebody's sconce, will be carried by
the Marshal as trophies of the battle
for some time. Rider received but a
few insignificant scratches.
