ATTEMPT AT MURDER AND RoBBERY.-A dia-
bolical attempt was made last Saturday night,
to murder and rob Mr.. A. Sanford, Of this place.
Mr.. Sanford was sleeping in his store, a one
story brick building near the foot Of Broad
street, and about twelve o'clock was awakened
and saw two men standing ever him, one Of
whom held in his hand long two-edged dirk
knife. About the first words Mr.. Sanford heard
were demand for his money, the fellow at the
time holding the knife directly over his face to
enforce the demand. Sanford screamed "mur-
der !" and almost on the instant, the ASSASSIN
stuck the knife into his mouth, knocking out
two teeth, and the point taking effect under the
tongue and penetrating to depth of about two
inches. BY closing his teeth, he prevented the
knife going deeper, and grabbing the blade
succeeded in wrenching il from the villains
hand. He then got hold of his pistol, but the
robbers took ii from him and left, Sanford fol
lowing them to the door. While the seufiing
was going on. Mr.. Sanford continued to cry
'murder ~ SO loud that he was heard in most
parts of the town. Mr.. Raymond, who slept IN
the building on the opposite side of the street,
and was just going to bed when he heard the
,cry, Immediately run down stairs, called out for
the night watch, and started towards the store.
In crossing over, he saw man come out the
front door, and run down Broad street. On
arriving at the store, be met Mr. Sanford CON-
ing out still crying "murder!' aud bleeding
profusely. Besides the cut in his mouth, bis
hand was badly cut while in the act Of wrench
ing the knife from the assassin. crowd soon
collected at the store, and Dr. r. NJ. Hunt was
Immediately called to dress Mr.. Sanford's
wounds. The wound in his mouth is very seri-
GUS, but is considered dangerous. Soon af-
ter the affair happened, Marshal Tompkins and
officer Rider arrested Frank Brooks, Andrew
.Scola and Charles Sanford, who were commit
ted to jail. Brooks was identified by Mr.. San
ford as the fellow that struck him with the
knife, aud Scola is supposed to be the other
robber Charles Sanford is o son of A. San
ford, and worthless young fellow. The three
have been running together for some time, and
il is believed that Charles Sanford gave Brooks
and Scola the information which induced them
TO attempt the robbery. The three are now in
Jail waiting an examination.
We called on Mr.. Sanford yesterday evening
and found that his condition had much mprov-
ed. From his statement, there can be no doubt
that his son, Charles Sanford, was connected
with the affair, and was probably in the store
when the robbery was attempted When Brooks
made the attack, he held light in bis hand by
which Mr.. Sanford was able to recognize him.

RESISTING OFFIcERs-DESPERATR FIGHr.-
About half past one O'Clock, last Sunday morn
ing, man named Apperson informed officer
Rider that he bad just been severely beaten by
one Frank Williams, at the Virginia House,
and requesting that the latter be arrested. AS
Apperson had evidently beed pretty roughly
handled, Rider proceeded to the Virginia House
to make the arrest. On entering, he found six
or eight persons in the bar-room, ard among
them Frank Carter, the proprietor Of the house,
who told Rider he would not allow any arrest
TO be made in his house, aud ordered him TO
leave. Rider finding that the crowd were de-
termined to prevent the arrest, sent for Marshal
pkus-Wiliams having in the meantime
fortified himself behind the counter Upon the
arrival of Tompkins, Carter left the room and
after desperate resistance the officers sue
ceeded in arresting Williams and another man
named Crawford, who were locked up in the
town prison. As Rider went behind the coun-
ter to take Williams, Tompkns stationed him
self in position to keep the others from inter-
fering, but was attacked by three or four men,
one Of whom approached from behind and
struck him a severe blow on the back of the
head. lie fired two or three times at his as-
sailants. and Crawford fred twice at him.
Tompkins then used his pistol as a club, and
succeeded in laying several of his assailants on
the floor, Crawford among the number. Rider,
after severe tussle. succeeded in overpower-
ing Williams, having closed his "peepers" by a
few well-directed blows. Tompkins was pretty
severely injured, several ugly gashes having
been cut on his head; Rider escaped with few
slight scratches. VIM. Draper, who was present
during the most Of the time, rendered the Off
GERS very efficient service in making the arrests.
Frank Carter was arrested the next morning,
tried before Justice Smith, and fined fifty dol
lars; Williams was tried yesterday and like
fine inflicted upon him. Crawford was exam.
insd before Justice Smith yesterday afternoon,
and held to bail in the sum Of s2,5OO to answer
to the charge of an assault with intent to COM
NIT murder He had not succeeded in finding
