shot BY BURGLAR.-Perry J. Moore a
prominent merchant of Cincinnati, was shot
by burglar on Thursday night last Two
burglars entered the house, and in hunting
about found two pistols. One of the thieves
seized pistol, and next started to the cham
Der OF Mr.. Moore, in which was sleeping Mr.
NJ. and his lady. The noise made by the
thieves partially awakened Mr. Moore. and
he invsluntarily turned over in bed when the
thief, who was standing by the bed side
evidently anticipating that Mr. NJ. might be
reused, with hend-like determination coolly
placed the pistol just below the right temple
OF the unconscious sleeper, and pulled the
trigger, the ball passing partially through the
head, in direct line from right to left.
The report of the pistol awakened Mrs.
Moore who dumped out of bed and came in con-
tact with the thief. He turned and ran down
stairs, followed by Mrs. NJ, and TO impede
her progress the thief discharged his pistol a
second time, but whether at Mrs NJ. or not. is
not known. 1t is likely, however that the
thlef's intention was to silence his pursuer the
same as he had silenced Mr.. NJ. She followed
the thief down stairs, and in passing through
the lower hall of the house she snatc he'd from
the hat-rack shawl, which she threw about
her shoulders, and with no other covering save
her night clothing, she conf nued the chase for
nearly half square, when she was compelled
by physical fatigue to desst the pursuit Her
cries brought assis tance, but the burglar was
not captured.
