knocked oyer by a club in thy hands
OF one Of the robhers. As he fell his
right hand, in which he held tie re-
volver, was pinned beneath his body
in such a way that he could not extri-
cate ii. Meanwhile the burglar, who
was kneeling over him with one knee
upon his breast, stabbed him three
times with Il dirk knife, all the blows
taking effect on his left arm and in
4ictmg severe cuts. A struggle for

him with u farewell kick and ran
toward'Ne door, where he was joined
by a companion who had taken no

farewell shot at the rascals, and there

an hour. BY the time IN alarm could
be given there was no further trace of
the burglars. In the store was found
a large package Of goods valued at
about 5000, which the thieves had
fied up, but which they were compell-
