Divine, Dnbois & Co. do an extensive
business IS general country agents ct
Morriston, in Sullivan county. on the line
of the Midland Railway. They have in
their employ as clerk q young man named
J. w. Denham. The nearest bank to
Morriston is at Ellenvilie. 1t often hap.
pens in their business transactions that
Divine, Dubois & Co., have charge oflarge
sums Of money which they are unable to
bank At once, and are obliged to. keep it
IN the safe in their store. This fact is
we'll known, and has no doubt led. to the
probable murder Of young Denham, the
clerk.
Denham had always slept. in = room
over the stcre. On Saturday night,
about midnight. he was aroused by q
noise in the store. Knowing that there
were several thousand dollars in the safe,
Denham at once sprang out of bed, and

at the foot of the stairs he saw . man
making his exit through panel which
had been taken out of the front door of
the store. Young Denham took aim at
the man and fired. The man was un.
doubtedly hit, for he uttered loud cry
as he disappeared. The clerk took a
step forward, with the intention of fol-
lowing the man, when he received blow
on the back Of the head which would
have felled him to the floor if he had not
grasped the counter. 1t was now evident
that there were two burgulars, and Den.
ham, although somewhat confused
by the blow he had re-
ceived, determined to capture the one
remaining in the store, if it were posi-.
BILE. For some time not a sound was
heard. Everything was wrapped in
darkness, patch of moonlight that came
through the broken door and shone on
the floor being all that could be seen.
Presently the clerk heard man stealing
from near the stair door toward the front
door. He had gone but q few steps when
he ran against a stove that stood be-
tween the counter and the door. By this
time Denham had recovered from the
effects of the blow, and when the burglar
fell against the stove the clerk sprang
upon him. He seized him by the throat
and struck him with all his strength a
blow with his revolver in the face. The
burglar at once grappled with him, and
in such manner that he could not use
his weapon. After free hand-te-hand
struggle, lasting minute or so, Denham
succeeded in tripping the burglar and
throwing him heavily to the floor. The
clerk found, however, that he had not
only desperate but powerful man to
contend with. He had scarcely been
thrown before he turned with Denham
and, getting astride of him, pinned him to
the floor. He then rained blows with q
billy upon the clerk fate and head. The
latter placed his revolver at the burglar
side and fred. The man uttered a CRY
and threw up his hands; the billy dropped
to the floor, and Denham believed he haG
inflicted death wound upon his antago
