On Thursday evening of last week,
just as daylight fades, and all nature
seems calm and beautiful, the usually
quiet home of Joseph Neugent was
brought to a scene of intense excite
ment. An intruder stood on the door
step. Joe was outside, but on nearing
the wood shed, heard him as he stealth
lily approached. Joe at once raised an
alarm by shouting to the inmates of
the dwelling for help. Harvey calne to
the rescue, like a strong man, well
armed, with loaded revolver in hand,
and so he opened the door and behold
his surprise on seeing the. cause of their
alarm standing deiantly on the thesh-
old. Joe screamed "shoot !" +'shoot "
Not stopping for second thought, Har-
vey discharged the contents of one bar
rel, the ball passing through his, (the
intruder's) body 4; two more followed
in quick succession, taking effectin the
head, not however causing instant
death, but being so weak from the loss
of blood, he was easily managed. Mrs
Neugent is an expert at cleaning, but
she taxed her strength and nerve to the
utmost in trying to efface the traces OF
blood and dirt occasion ed by the dis.
aster. The strongest nerves quail, and
the hardest hearts quiverin passing the
scene Of confusion, and all quickly GOV
