Old nan Assaulted.

John Schaeffer was the victim OF
cowardly assault early this morning,
if the facts are as reported. He is an
old man and has been working for the
city on the street force. His home is
near Mrs. Chilson's house, and also
near where the vacant barn was
burned night before last. A crowd
of young toughs were congregated
about and made considerable distur-
bance, and Mr.. Schaeffer went out to
guard his barn and hen house, fearing
that the former might be burned or
the hen roost robbed, A call was
made for the police by some one, and
he started to go for an officer, and had
only left his premises a short distance
when some of the ruffians pitched
on to him and pounded him in a
shameful manner. Two of his teeth
were knocked out. and he was badly
cut and bruised.
