Last night at the hour OF about half
past IL o'clock, two large muscular sons
Of Ham, who needed not the good teach
ings Of their pastor, nor the speeches Of
the emancipation orators, made an at
tempt to unlawfully enter the store Of
G.. Giroda, at the corner Of South COncho
and Matamoras street. "Joedy," the
proprietor, heard the thieves trying the
doors and windows, and not having any
shooting irons in his house, quietly sit
up In bed and waited Developments.
The two men finally climbed over the
fence, and came In through the back
yard, and was just In the act of climbing
In back window, when "Joedy" yelled
at them with the full strength Of his
voice, and jumping from the bed made
an effort to catch one fellow by the head.
The burglars were too swift, however,
and made tracks In double quick time,
and soon disappeared In the darkness.
"Joedy" came down town this morning
and purchased a small sized arsenal, and
says he will catch them the next time.
