and she came up to reinforce her son, bring
ing with her pepper box pistol. The white
boys ran, but George Showed fight, and the
old woman told her son to get the mrlSket
from the house and shoot him. He got it.
and fired at George, piercing his coat. Polly
! then opened her batteries at the muatto
who, after receiving Il bullet through his
wool and several through his clothing, re-
treated, all the while throwing stones at the
warlike Polly. Polly said she larnt to load
and fire pistol in de wah, and only fired
twice times"
The warrant had been evidently taken out
by the wrong party, so George was dis.
| charged, with y caution against going neal
| the house of so dangerous a woman, and
Polly was warned not TO Use her firearms Sc
freely.

THREE ATTEMPTS AT BURGLARY ! ester
day morning it was discovered that during
the night an attempt had been made to enter
the storehollse Of Spots Il Gibson, on Four
teenth street near Cary. A bar across the
tranSom over the back door was broken and
an attempt made to enter. The thief was
probably frightened of by some movement
of the young man who slept in the store.
An attempt was then made to enter the store
of jenkins. CaperS, Il Co., next door TO
SPOTS d Gibson, by prizing OF bar that
crossed q rear window. No entrance was
made, but small hat-rack and tin letter.
box were found IN the alley, and had proha-
bly, been obtained by reaching hand
through the window. Though the burglar
seems to have been frightened away, he
made another attempt to obtain booty by
going further down the street to the corner
of Fifteenth and Cary.
At the back of the warehouse of a. !.
Stokes & Co. Il graLing-p place, to give light
into the cellar, was pulled up and the rogue
descended, broke the iron window-barS, and
passed into the cellar The floor was damp,
and tracks of bare feet were found yesterday
morning from the window to the dumb
waiter, and on it. Br help of the waiter he
ascended to the first floor. Nothing has yet
been missed from this house, but the exit of
the thief seems to have been deliberate. He
passed out through the side door, locking it
on the outside, and leaving the key in the
door. These attempts were probably MADE
between 3 and O'Clock A. NJ, us everything
is known to have been right at A. M.
