Last night Mr.. Joseph +. Birch of
West Washington had very narrow
escape from violent death. lie had
just returned from church, and while
sitting in his parlor heard considerable
confusion and couple of shots fired
on Jefferson street. lie went to the
window and saw an officer in pursuit
of colored thief. After watching
them for few moments he returned
10 the fire. Hardly had he taken his
scat when another report rang out on
the still night air, and the next instant a
shivering of glass and splintering of
wood followed by the whistling of a
bullet near his head, caused Mr. Birch
TO spring to his feet in alarm.
Glancing at the window he saw the
glass was knocked out while in the
other wall a large bullet had buried it..
self. Had he remained at the window
an instant longer he would surely have
been killed. The ball was fired by the
officer to stop the flight Of the thief.
