PARIS, KY, Nov. 1s.--At 10 o'clock p.
m. eight strangers rode in North Mid
dletown, this county. 10 miles from Paris,
and it is supposed that their intention
was TO rob the bank at that place. They
shot at every person seen on the streets
and mortally wounded an old negro
named Burt Morris. The citizens
opened fire ON the despera-
does, and they were answered with
q volley from their pistols. The citizens
kept up their firing and the desperadoes
left, but returned in an hour. They
were again charged upon by the citizens
and driven out of town.
They stopped at house on the road
side, about mile from the town, and
found that three of them were badly
wounded, but those not wounded took
them on in the direction of Mount Setr-
ling. The men were all strangers.

A Hennepin County BOY Foils the Designs

ANoKA, Minn., Nov. ia Hennepin
county farmers boy, living near Cham
plin, was accosted by man dressed in
woman's attire, while returning from
market, and believing the traveller to be
lady allowed him to get in to the
wagon. AS the traveller climbed to his
seat his boots showed beneath the skirts
and disclosed his identity to the accom-
modating driver. The quick witted boy
dropped his whip and pretending to
hold his spirited team with difficulty
asked his companion to alight and get it.
As soon as the distinshed individual
left the wagon the boy started his horses
into run and escaped. A grip was left
in the wagon and ON arriving home it
was opened and found to contain kit
of burglars tools, suit of clothes and a
pair of revolvers.

To See How Children Would Act.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 13.-The Glenn
ent grammar school, containing 700
young children, was discovered to be ON
fire during school hours. The children
marched out in an orderly manner, and
there was no panic. The fire was in the
garret and was extinguished before much
damage was done. Miles Baird, IA
year-old pupil, was arrested on charge
of arson. He confessed he started the
fire in the garret to see how the pupils
would get out of the school in case of a
real fire
