Oh last Thursday night at about u 80
O'Clock. Albert Troll, of the firm of f.
Troll IL Sons, who resides over their
dry gOnds store, was awakened by a
noise at the store door. He went to the
window, and supposng 1t was some of
the boys on spree, fired shot to fright
ell them away. His shot, however, was
al once answered, Albert har lily having
time To get his head back iuto the win
dow; realizing in an instant that it was
burglars he was cOntendlng with, two
more shots were fired at the now re-
treating burglars. In the morning it
was discovered that one or more had
also been in the rear of the store, as
some boards had been removed from the
fence and tracks in the snow led to the
house. 1t seems that before the burglars
came here, they had entered the barn of
j. b. McMechan, east of town, and taken
some harness, and also into ShOemaker's
barn and taken three horses, which were
evidently to be used to haul away what
ever plumber they might secure. They
were doubtless badly frightened, how
ever, by the noise of the shots, and used
the horses to facilitate their escape. At
toll gate p, east of town, they warned
Mr.. Feltus not to come out If he didn't
want to get hurt, and broke the gate
lock. The horses were found next morn
ing, near the fOot-bridge over the creek
at Bridgeport for KirkwoOd, where the
burglars had left them. either TO cross
the creek, or through fear of riding
through the Bridgeport toll gate. st.
is on guard, and will probably
do better shooting next time.
