TRIED TO THROTTLE HIM.
DURuLAR AT his THROAT IN THE
DEAD or NIGHT.
Another Seeking TO Rob the Sleeper
of S200-McDonaId Fights Them on
Successfully, After n Des-
pernte Struggle.

Two unknown men entered the sleep
ing apartment of Mr.. C. w. Melon
aid. at the corner OF Rusk and Luda
streets about o'clock yesterday morn
Ing and did their best to get 5000 Mr..
Mcdonald had In the pocket OF his
vest. which was dying under his pillow.
Mr.. Mcdonald is in the employ Of the
Houston and Texas Central railway.
and had gotten his pay only aNfew
days ago A fellow empioye named
Hall was sleeping with him last night,
and the first intimation either had Of
the presence OF burglars was when
one Of them attempted to pull the vest
from under MIR. McDonald's head.
This OF course awoke him and he
made some noise.
The larger OF the two thieves at once
caught Mr.. Mcdonald by the throat
and attempted to choke him into
quletness. Mr. Mcdonald squirmed
around until his feet were towards mis-
assailant, and then turning both loose,
landed large kick from both OF his
pedal extremities that would have done
Il yearling mule credit. The kick
caught the burglar In the stomach
and landed him about ten feet away
on the opposite side OF the room, also
ON a swing machine, knocking It over
and making a large noise and confu-
sion.
The thieves caught up Mr. Nc
Donald's pants and went out the win
dow in what might be called "A hurry.
They were not recognized. but both
Merrs, Han and Mcdonald think they
were negroes.
Fort Worth's two skilled detectives
will push any clue they may get with
their usual promptitude.
