county. on last Tuesday night by a party
of unknown men to assassinate Mr.. q. Ii.

that the perpetrators would be discovered,
but up 10 this hour no arrests have been

surveillance and arrests. will probably be
made tomorrow. On the night named,

crashing through the window and entering
the wall, but fortunately missing, him. Mr.
Edlnonston then quickly dropped upon the
floor and bid his wife and child, VINO had
been awakened, to do likewise.
SAVED THEIR LIVES.
This probably saved their lives, for no
sooner had they done so than the hends
began firing in all the windows, but beyond
the breaking Of the glass and shutters did
no other mischief. They also attempted
to break in the door but being securely
fastened and barred they failed. The Off
GERS claim TO have strong evidence against
several who are under surveillance, as they
had some difficulty with Mr.. Edmonston
ON that morning about the delivery OF
some letters. The parties with whom Mr..
Rdmonston had the difficulty we're two ne
