passed opposite to him, the man arose
and with uplitted club ordered him to
stop, telling him he would be dead

up his money. Mr.. NJ, took off his
glove-the would be robber doubtless
thought he was preparing to take out
his money and with a quick motion
jumped upon his assailant, crushing
him back ana upon the ground, at the
same time Selling him with his left
hand by the throat, and pounding him
in the face with his right. Blood flow
ed freely. Mr.. NJ. did not leave him
till he had made him motionless by
the application of his fist and boot
heel to his face. He then-fearing
the appearance of an accomplish
hastily, with his team proceeded on
his way. During the conflict the rob-
Der got one arm over Mr. Ms neck
and drew his face down in contact
with his own-leaving Mr.. Ms face
covered with blood Officers soon
visited the place. They found consid-
cradle blood at the scene Of conflict,
but the rascal had fled or had been
