Encounter with Sn1ugcIer%-Attcsnpt
to Shoot a Customs OiIlccr-ScIzuFe OF

Thursday night Customs Inspector Morgan
had narrow escape from death at the hands
Of smugg'er: . In company with Inspector
T1bbats bic had been watchin. q certain
house at Hlack Rock Dam for SOME time past,
having good reason for believing that jts oc-
cupnnis were engaged In smuggling. Thurs
day night, while on tho watch, they discover
cd some parties in the garden attached
to the house with barrel Of wills
key In their possession. The officers st
once appronched the smuggle1s and at.
tempted to take possession Of the liquor but
met with stout resistance. Officer Morgan
had q Lamp in his hand, aud one Of the snug
glcrs seeing this struck 1t with club he had
mud extinguishcd the light. and the next
minute Morgan received blow on the head
and one on the wrist from q club. Dy this
time number Of other persons had conc to
the assistance OF the smugGlers, one Of them
being armed with a nlusket. Morgan seeing
thatthcy would have hard time of it drew his
revolver to defend himself but had hardly done
70 before his arm was knocked p1werlcss by
bis side by severe blow from : club. I'm
mediately this had been done, the man who
had the muskct placed the muzz:e Of II close
the villains, no doubt, thinking they had
killed him, fed. Fortunately, however,
Morgan had On underneath hi1 coat m army
belt, with heavy brass buckle, which saved
his life, as The ball struck the buckle, bend
Ing 1t almost double. The officers obtsIned
possession Of the liquor, but the miscreants,
who thrs deliberately attempted tn add nur-
der to the crime Of smuggling Managed to
escape. Unfortunately, the parties are not
known, but It IL to be hoped that they will
be caua ht and severely punished.
