ATTEMPTED ROBBERY. Last Sunday Mrs.
Douthit returned from Oregon where she
had been on both business and visit Soon
after nine o'clock, when she and her daughter
had retired, some person was heard at the
door, and told by the young lady to leave
upon giving no answer as to who was there.
The reply was the bursting in of the door,
upon which the young lady screamed and
made fuss enough to wake the other females
of the house, besides soaring the robbers off,
who offered no further indignities. The
family was so frightened by the bodness of
the attack the remainder of the night was
spent by them at the residence of j. W.
Cochran, adjoining. 1t is supposed the
assault was intended for purpose of robbery,
as Mrs. Douthit has rents coming to her
occasionally, and the robbers might have
supposed she had just returned from col
