to hold up his hands and not comply
ing quickly enough to suit the thief.
who was within three or four feet, was
shot at and the bullet went through his
cap, making a small hole in front and
in the back where 1t went out. His
cap was singed, which shows that the
robber must have been close to him
when he fired.
After the shot the footpad took to his
heels the night Waterman firing his
revolver twice. The night was SO dark
that it was impossible to see any dis
lance and having to judge from the
footsteps, the Waterman failed to hit
his assailant.
Mr.. Gammon's hat was knocked off
by the conclusion and he was unable
to find it until he had procured a Ian
tern.
The supposition is that the thieves,
for there was another on the other side
of the street, who Joined his companion
after the first shot was fired, intended
to capture and gag the night watch
and then rob all the business houses
with no one to modest them.
Extra guards will be provided at once
and it will go hard with any tough
characters found roaming around at
unseemly hours.
