neighbors. A few days ago as his
daughter was going to, or returning

ly and maliciously pushed from the pave
ment in the vicinity of her home, by
negro woman, and short time after

ing ON their way in the dark, when, as
they passed the place where the rob-
berry had been attempted, they were OBJ
served by the lynx eyes of officer Latta,

accelerated his speed. 1t must have also
required considerable nerve to attack two
such stout men, but he did, and was
about to lay official hands on them,
when he discovered the honest faces of
the gallant Arch and the "Prince of Big
byville."
