o'clock yesterday morning three
strangers entered the pawn-broker
shop of M. Osher, Washington
street, felled the proprietor with
slung-shot, locked the door, packed
up the jewelry and valuables and
escaped by the rear entrance, pass
ing through a dry goods store to
First street. An alarm was given
and an officer pursued the robbers.
At the corner ofThird and Morrison
streets they fired two shots at the
officer, missing him, but instantly
killing Louis Joseph, aged IA.
The robbers then jumped into an
express wagon, drove to the out
skirts of the city and made for the
timber. Pursuit was at once organ

If captured, they will undoubtedly
be lynched in the prevailing excite.

sidered fatal. An alarm has been
given in all directions and the
capture of the murderers is consid-
cred certain. The amount of plum
der obtained is as yet unknown.
