THE DAY BOOK.
THURSDAY MORNING, June 10, 1869.
AT ROBBERY
THE THIEF THROWN FROM THE
THIRD STORY WINDOW.
HE MAKES HIS ESCAPE.

The residence of Captain Samuel
Barnes, the pilot, is on the corner OF
Queen and Princess streets. Two or
three nights since bis son Walter, a
young man about twenty-four years OF
age, fortunately walked about midnight,
when he discovered big buck negro
stealthily prowling around his room.
Having no weapon at hand, young
Barnes sprang suddenly from the bed
ION to- the negro, when both grappled,
and the exciting conflict began.
Mr.. Barnes was soon hurled at full
length upon the floor by the superior
strength of his stalwart and desperate
antagonist. The negro then endeavored
to use the opportunity to escape from
the room, but in this he failed. To the
door was attached spring latch, and
in order to open the door it was neces-
sary to turn the knob and pull the latch
at the same time. The negro pulled
the latter, but, in his precarious and
frightful predicament, forgot to turn
the knob. But moment had elapsed,
and young Barnes was again upon his
feet and was about to make for the
negro second time, when the latter
finding that he hadn't time to open the
door, wheeled, and, with the fury of
despair, turned upon him as he was
standing near an open window. The
latter appreciatin g the danger of his
situation put forth all his strength and
activity, and with a desperate determi-
nation received the negro's onslaught
By kind of coup-de-main, young Barnes
sprang forward and presented his left
hip to the enemy, at the same time
lodging his head, at which the negro
had aimed most powerful blow.
Fortunately it missed fire. land its impe-
tus not being checked, and the black ras
cal lost his equilibrium and foil heavily
across Mr.. Barnes hip, as he anticipat-
ed. With the quickness of thought, land
the strength of lion, he dashed the ras-
cal in the window, but, in pushing him
out, he caught hold of the window sill,
and endeavored to regain the room. He
made three attempts, but was finally
knocked out, and fell to the brick pave
ment below, distance of not less than
fifty feet.
For few minutes he laid motionless
as if dead. But upon Mr.. Barnes calling
for the watch, he arose nimbly to his
feet, jumped an adjoining fence, and
made his escape. As there was no light
in tho room, Mr.. Rarnos was uuable to
recognize the rascal. There was nobody
else in the house, excepting his mother;
both his father and elder brother being
absent ITOU Tue Clty.
Mr.. B. may we'll congratulate him
self upon his narrow escape, for it was
undoubtedly, the intention of the negro
to have killed him when he turned upon
him, after having failed to open the door
the only reasonable avenue of escape.
For novelty this attempt at robbery
beats everything Of the kind we have ever
been called upon to chronicle.
1t is thought the negro entered the
house during the day and secreted him
self under the bed. There was no door
or window open to indicate that he broke
into the house. This is warning. Let
all examine their houses and look un-
der their beds before they reti re.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY
On Tuesday night an unsuccessful at
tempt was made to rob the residence of
our Senior, on Washington Point. The
roguish party effected an entrance
through window in the rear, but was
frightened off, fortunately, without sat
isfying, in the least, his thieving pro-
pensity. They are prepared to give
him a warm reception the next time he
sees fit to visit them.
