ANARCH INTRIGUE.
lC0ntinned from .frSt pnNel.

the room occupied by Mir. Boensch and his wife in the main building, hurriedly informed them of what had transpired, and together with MT. Boensch, made diligent search of the premises.
 No one, however, was found, but beside the woodpile there was picked up a new, whitehandlcd razor, which had, no doubt, been dropped ny the tres passer in his hurried flight.
 At the suggestion of MT. Boensch, who felt some misgivings about the safety of his lodger in the isolated annex. the bedding of Garside was re- moved to the main building and placed in the hall opposite the bedroom of Mr. BOenSCh.
 Fearing no further trouble, the peo- pie of the house retired once more to rest and were soon fast asleep. About 2.30 in the morning Mrs. Boensch was awakened by noise at the rear door of her room, where some one was seem- ingly attempting to effect an entrance. She awakened her husband, who hastily dressed himself and crept cautiously up to the door, which is also provided with glass panel, for the purpose of seeing who the intruder was.
 Flushing aside the curtain, MT. BoensCh observed a man standing at the foot of the steps leading to the rear gallery of the house, at one corner of which another man was posted There were no firearms or weapons of any kind on the premises, and the occupants consequently found themselves helpless to give attack. The trespassers re- mained about the place for over half an hour, trying to force the various doors, but unSuCCessfully.
 "The people in the house are greatly excited about the matter, and Mr. Gar side cannot conjecture what could have been the motive of this persistent en- deavor to get into his room or at him, unless it be for the purpose of doing him bodily injury,
 "It was found that the room in the l annex vacated by him had been entered on the second intrusion, and his papers carefully overhauled. There was nOth- ing, however, of private nature in the | documents, and hence the intruders took none of them away, but scattered | them about the floor.
 Tt is the purpose of Mir, Garslde to 1 give the trespassers a warm reception if they again visit him, and for their l information it may here be stated that | the house is well fortified. and the occu- pants thoroughly armed with navy six l shooters and Winchester rifles.
 "Mr. Garside also states that his mail has been tempered with, very many let ters showing evidence of having been l loF lol; +I
 This report is really Garside's story, as Mir. Boensch denies per sonal knowledge of the details which are given.
 The New Orleans States, an even- ing paper of the same date, sent a reporter to investigate, and he had the following to say in his report:
 "The glass in the rear door was shat tered. The razor is said to have been turned over to the police. People in the vicinity of the house take no stock in the story and say 1t is simply hoax. l Nr. and Mrs. Gitz live next door. They have a vicious watch dog who would make CommOtion if stranger came into the yard. The dog was silent dur ing the night. Their man. who was awake, did not hear the assassin escap- ing. The fact that none of the neigh bOrs were aroused dGring all the ex- citement is pretty good evidence that the story Is absolutely untrIe.'
