Fighting n burglar.
At late hour Monday night, Mr. Sanders,
residing on Prytania street, was aroused
from his slumbers by hearing some one
moving in the lower roems of the house.
Rising and dressing himself as quietly as
possible, he took his revolver and sailed
forth in quest of the intruder. In descend
irg the stairs, he incautiously permitted his
feet to fall too heavily, causing a sound,
which reached the ears of the burglar. But
not being aware Of this at the time, Mr.. San
ders still continued to descend until he
reached the bottom but scarcely had
his feet touched the hall before he
received heavy blow on the head,
which for the moment stunned, but did
not render him insensible. Quickly recov-
ering, however, he grappled with his assail-
ant. The blow Mr.. Sanders received caused
his hand to relax, and he dropped his pistol.
lG the darkness and dense gloom Of the
hall it could not be recovered And now
commenced fearful contest, hand to hand.
Mr.. 5. cried for help, but his voice could not
reach the street. His assailant being the
stronger and more athletic man very soon
had Mr.. S. in his power. Ending the con-
test with heavy blow over the head, which
left his victim insensible, the burglar took
his departure.
Nothing was carried away from the house
by the burglar.
