a SALOON DEMOLISHED BY SOL
D1ERS.


On Monday evening last, about Q o'clock,
five soldiers, represented as belonging to the
Goth Illinois regiment, while in a state of in
toxieation, went to the saloon kept BIZ WIN.
r.. Ehcrlc, on Cottage Grove avenue, opposite
seipp's brewery, and used grossly Insulting
language towards Mr.. Ebcrle and his aged
father. They were ordered cut, but refused
to go, and cndeayored to maintain their posi-
lion by show Of bowie knives. The propri-
etor, after vain attempt to eject them, drew
lis revolver and fired into the crowd.
After Ebcrlc had fired, the rowiies with
drew threatening to return aud ''elean out the
institution Eberle then nailed up the
doors Of the saloon, as he supposed securely,
and retired to bed. About lalf past ten tie
l,arty returned, accompanied by number Of
their comrades, armed with guns and cobble-
stones. They broke in the doors and shutters
with the stones, and drove the proprietor, who
had come into the saloon, out into the street,
BY following him up with loaded gun,
threatening to put a ball through his id
carcass if lie didn't lcaye!'' Unprepared to
entertain this class ofmarrauders and outlaws,
Mr.. Ebe1le rapidly retreated out Of range
Tho robbers then selected such articles as
they could make available, and carried them
away. IN the meantime they had destroyed
everything that they could not take of, both
in the saloon and in the room back Of it, The
principal articles known to have been taken,
were two clocks, eight cut-g1ass decantcrs,
four boxes of cigars, and one boz of Virginia
smoking tobacco As the soldiers were en-
tircstrangers to Eberle no reason can be assign
ed tor the preparation Of this outrage. Il is
Hoped this explanation may lead to the detec-
tlon and proper punishment Of the perpe-
t1sitors of this daring attack upon an inno-
cent and unofending citizen.
It is ruinored that one Of the men was
wounded, which, if true, may lead to the
arrest Of the entire party.
