tramps attempted to break in the farm house
of Mr.. Wood, who lives five miles east of here.
last night. A young son, sixteen years old,
who was alone in the house, was awakened,
and grasping double-barrelled shotgun,
snapped both barrels at the burglars. They
then broke IN the window and rushed on the
young man, who seized a butcher knife and
slashed one of the villains ACROSS the face and
then jumped out of the broken window and
escaped to neighbor's. In the morning, on
examination of the house, blood was discov-
cred on the floor and one sheet from the bed
missing, which it is supposed the burglars took
to bind up the wounds. No trace has been OBJ
