was the victim of a murderous assault
| on Friday evening last. AS he entered
his barn after dark he was grappled by
two masked men. He struggled with
his assailants, and as he is a large power
full man, fully six feet two inches tall and
weighing about 200 pounds, he succeeded
in regaining his feet, although he could
not shake off his tormentors, who again
| threw him down and began to choke him
Still Sherman struggled, giving one of
his men a kick that sent him fviue
across the barn. Then getting up he
tackled the other robber, pulling the
mask off and trying to see his face. By
this time the first robber had recovered
from the kick, and mad both with pain

that he was being chopped on the face
and head with a spade. The robbers
now produced a small rope and crossing
his hands, tied them behind his back,
tied his cap over his eyes and his feet
together, and rif1ing his pockets of $SS.75
they turned him over on his face on
the barn floor and left him. Sherman
only got loose - hours afterward, after
working all night cutting the rope which
bound his wrists With his fngernails,
and digging the flesh from his bones in
the opera ton. When he got loose he
got a big sledge hammer, and, fearing
another attack from the bushes along
the highway, he staggered down through
his meadows to the next neighbours to
give the alarm.

story, but later Appa,S wife had been

the senate the correspondence between
the navy department and Admiral
Walker relative to his mission to Ha-

makes volume of considerable size,
covering about 80 type written pages,
and while much of it is purely formal,
some chapters are of interest.
1t begins ON March 90 last. with
the formal order of the secre-
tary detaching the admiral from duty
as president of the inspection board
and ordering him to Honolulu TO re-

chief of the Pacific station and closes
with notice from the admiral dated
Mare Island, Cal, Aug. "A, announcing
his REIMBURSEMENT of that command to
Admiral Beardslee.
The last communication from the
admiral strongly urges that an Ameri-
can ship should be kept at Honolulu,

that English marines would be landed
