postmaster and express agent were en-
gagged in sorting their letters and pack
ages. Three young men We're lounging
in the main room of the building at the
time aud the postmaster and agent, be-
ing behind their counters, supposed that
the noise made by the Mexicans in en-
tering came from the young men. The
masked men advanced at once to the
counter, revolyers in hand, and com
menced firing. Postmaster Parsons
sliced an axe helve and struck at the
man who was shooting at him, and
young Atwater, the express clerk,
pointed an empty revolver at the others,
who suddenly ran out Parsonss I'D
versary fired once more and then ran.
The ba Il passed just three inches above
Parsons's head and smashed things on a
small shelf behind him. A citizen
across the street hearing the shots,
started over just as the Mexicans came
out, mounted their horses and rode
away. The mask OF one of the men
fell off and he was recognized by Par.
sons. The robbers rode in the direction
of San Diego for few hundred yards
aud then turned and rode back and
down across the line to Lower Calfor.
