A most brutal and cowardly robbery,
and which may ultimately prove to be
murder also, occurred on Pacific street
early Tuesday morning. Shortly after 2
o'clock Carl York, an aged man, was wend-
ing his way homeward, and when about in
front of his residence was seized by two
footpads. Immediately diviniDg their OBJ
iect, he implored them not to injure him,
but to quietly help themselves to his val
uables The robbers then proceeded to
rifle his pockets, taking from him his
watch and chain and purse containing
small amount of money. At this juncture
their victim made slight cutlery, when
one of the mizereants drew revolver and
fred three shots at the cid man, only one
taking effect. The shots attracted the at.
tention of officers. who arrived too late to
arrest the would.be murderers. The
wounded man was conveyed to the City
Receiving Hospital. He is in a very pre-
carious condition.
