We copy the following from the Lawrence
Journal Of YESTERDAY:
On Tuesday night the house Of Mr.. J.
NJ. Ruth, on New York street, was entered
NV some fellow bent on mischief, but who was
compelled to lcat a hasty retreat. Mr..
Ruth, the book keeper at the Tribune Office,
was in his Office later than usual, it beins
election night, and about 10 o'clock Mrs.
Ruth being alone with her children, was
about to retire, when she heard slight
noise in the lower part of the house. Taking
her pistol, which, it seems, she knows how
10 Use to n good purpose, she noiselessly
stole down stairs She reached the dining
room without finding any explanation Of the
noise, when she thought she would open the
kitchen door before giving up the search.
This discovered the villain. With true
Spartan courage, she drew her revolver ON
him and fired And not without effect,
as the screams Of the fellow fully attested.
With all the despatch he could command he
broke out Of the house and made off. Mrs.
Ruth thinks the ball struck him in the back,
inst below the left shoulder, and a woman
who is such marksman must be good
authority. Up TO last evening no trace of
the ruller had been discovered.
