ATTACKED ny HIGHwAYMEN.--
Milton BuslNa young man living near
Ross Fording, Chester county, just
over the Lancaster line, had desperate
encounter with highwaynfeh couple
of nights since. He had started to VS.
it friend in Lancaster county, and had
just crossed u foot bridge over the Oc-
torhro, near the tording, when he was
halted by two large and desperate look
ing men-one white and the other col
ored-who demanded hissmoney or his
life. The negro leveled a'cocked reyol-
YER at him, when Bush exclpimed
"Don't shoot until ] can get the mon
ey." Drawing his seven shooter he
fired at the negro, and four shots were
rapidly exchanged, one OF them passing
through the brim of Bush's hat and
grazing his hair. The third shot struck
him on the breast, producing a sting.
ing pain but not disabling him, and he
returned the fire, the shot taking effect
upon the negro, who made an exclaDa-
ton of alarm and ran away. The
white ScouHdrel then rushed upon Bush
with n knife, dealing a blow at his
heart, but he sklllfully aYerted it. A
second thrust was made which pene-
trated the coat sleeve Of Bush, who
then closed on his antagonist. and
scufile ensued. during which
the knife fell to the ground. Bush got
his antagonist down. htt, after dealing
him several blows with his fist, the vii
lain overpow wered him ard again secured
his knife. Bush being now too faint to
continue the combat, fed. When he
reached home an examination OF his
person and clothing showed that the
bullet which caused the singing pain
had struck a nickel Scent piece in his
vest pocket and his life was doubtless
thereby saved. Great indignation is
felt in the Vicinity against the peipe-
traitors of the outrage, who are still at
large. e.-Lancoster Examiner and En-
press.
