Bold Attempt to Rob the ssddIerock Pestsur.
snt-The Burglar Assaults One
Of the Emp!oyes

| A bold attempt at burglary and almost
murder occurred between II and o'clock
this morning in John Drinks 6addlerock
restaurant, No. 246 South Spring street.
The restaurant closed at midnight,
as is usual Sundays and all the help had
gone home except PatMathews,th the night
man, who was washing up dishes In the
kitchen in the back part of the restau-
rant. In the rear of the kitchen is q
shed in which stores are kept. While
engaged at his work Mathews heard a
noise in the shed as though tin can
had dropped. He went to investigate
and found the shed was dark instead of
being Illuminated by gas jet as is Gus
tomary. Thinking some one had shut
off the gas he was about to strike q
match to relight 1t, when q man sprang
out of a clothes closet and grabbed him
by the throat.
Don't make any noise" Kissed the
stranger, cor I'll shoot YOU
But Mathews was prepared to sell his
life dearly. He not only made an outcry
but grappled with the burglar and fought
valiantly. The burglar was the most
powerful man Of the two, and threw Mr..
Mathews to the floor face downward.
Pressing his knee on the prostrate mans
back he again threatened to kill him If
he made any more noise
Mathews, not to be intimidated, yelled
Police, burglars, murder.
This exasperated the burglar, and
reaching over to g. coal pile he seized a
Ratchet and struck his victim several
vicious blows on the head, laying open
the scalp and rendering him temporarily
unconscious.
The rascal then, leaving his victim.
ran through the restaurant, jerked open
the front door, which was locked, and
sprinted down Spring street to Third,
thence to Main and from Main down
Third toward Los Angeles.
Mathews, although quite stunned at
first. soon regained consciousness, and
with commendable courage dashed after
the burglar shouting Justify to all he
met to stop him.
Nightwatchman Bob Henderson saw
the scoundrel as he turned into Third
street and took shot at him, but on
he went. AS he passed the Third street
engine house a fireman rushed out and
grabbed the william by his coat. but he
broke loose and continued his flight.
At Main and Third streets several cit
izens also grabbed him, but he again
broke away and disappeared down the
street.
The burglar had white cloth tied
over his face as a mask, and Mathews
and persons who saw him run were able
to get but an imperfect description of
him. He is supposed to have secreted
himself in the shed during the early
part of the night. The door leading to
Mott alley was locked from the inside.
but the burglar evidently had pal out
side whom he intended to let in While
Mathews was struggling with his un-
known antagonist, he heard some one
on the outside. a roomer in an adjoin
ing block, who heard the noise and went
to the back door to investigate, saw II
man stink away.
Mathews had his wounds dressed at
the receiving hospital. He has the burg
lars hat as trophy of his heroic strug
gle in the dark.
