Shall greet her with it's earliest cry.

Her little mourners, clad in black.
The crickets, sliding through tho grass,
Shall pipe for her an evening mass.

THE BOLDHST Or AL.
Outrageous Attempt to Rob Z
Lady on a Crowded Thor
oughfare.
Capture of the Villain After a
Long and very Exciting
Chase.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
A number OF bold and daring robberies
have been committed in the city recently
and the manner in which they are perpe-
frated shows the presence Of q new band Of
crooks who will probably cause considera-
BILE trouble before they are suppressed.
The boldest attempt at robbery. however,
which has occurred for some time, was
made yesterday evening between 2 and .
O'Clock and that it was not more success-
full was not the fault OF the robber.
At the time mentioned a lady was walk
ing towards Walkerville, and when near
the power house Of the cable q company,
a place where people are continually pass
ing, q man rushed out OF the shadow OF a
building and knocked her down. just as
she wal falling he snatched her pocketbook
out Of her hand and started to run. Q
tunately the deed was witnessed by a gen.
tleman who was near and he at once gave
chase and called for help. Others near by
heard him and also Joined in the pursuit.
So close did they crowd the thief tina ne
dropped his booty, probably thinking that
by doing SO he would not be followed any
farther, II such was the case, he was mis-
taken, for his pursuers continued after
him, one of them stopping only long enough
to pick up the purse n then reloined the
others. Across dumps, over bitches, be-
tween buildings and wherever he thought
it possible to throw the pursuers on the
nothing. The men behind him were deter
mined to capture him and SO stayed close
to his heels.
After vainly trying to dodge the men who
were chasing him, the fellow changed his
course and struck out towards the city and
made for the Gagnon dump and almost
managed to escape in the darkness which
existed there. Fortunately, however, one
OF the men nearest to him picked up a
pood-sized rock and threw it at him. The
aim proved true and the rock struck the
thief on the head and felled him to the
ground, and he was secured before he could
make another attempt to get away. his
captoIs, ten or twelve in number, took him
in charge ami marched him to the court
house and turned him oyer to the sheriff.
The fellow was still dazed from the effects
of the blow he had received and could
not talk coherently. He was searched
and an ugly.looking clasp knife. with
the blade open, was found in his right
hand coat pocket. The knife was almost
as sharp as q razor and the position in
which il was found was evidence that the
fellow had made up his mind not to be cap
tureI without making serious resistance
and it is fortunate that non Of his pur-
suers caught up with him before he was
knocked down by the rock for one, or per-
haps more Of them would have been hurt,
il not killed outright.
Beside the knife, a receipt for cabin rent
made out in favor OF Al Shultz and signed
by John A. Cannon, was also found in his
possession. He was placed in Jail for safe
keeping and will probably have a hearing
to-day.

great many reasons, the principal one OF
which was the ratification OF the new con-
stitution; another one was the election oil a

choice OF O new legislature. He urged
his hearers to be careful in their selection
