HE WAS PREPARED.
Mr.. COnley Took No Chances With
Susp ciOuS Characters.
Drew His r vOlv and Tn, Men Follow
ing Him Departed.

John c. Conley appears to be "A favorite
mark for highw aymen, for last evening he
had another experience with the knights of
the road while on his way home from his
place of business aud although this time he
escaped unscathed, IL was only because he
was en- his guard and well prepared for an as
sault by any of the followers Of Dick Turpin.
Mr. Conley closed his place OF business on the
main street at Phenix at the usual hour last
evening, and started 20 walk 10 his home on
Fairview avenue. only a few hundred yards
away. The electric lights were not burning
and the moon obscured by clouds making
the night an unusually dark one, and with re-
membranes OF his being held up and shot by
the four highwaymen last fall, Mr.. Conley
kept his eyes peeled" and was we'll reward
e1 for his caution, for he discovered soon
after crossing the Phenix bridge that he was
again apparently the mark of the highway
men. After crossing the railroad track he
noticed man on each side of the street
They appeared to be keeping tab" on him
and following him up the hill toward his
house Mr.. Conley did not mean to be caught
mapping again, and drew his revolver from
h pocket, and with that in one hand and-
eavy cane in the other he eropcd his way up
the bill The men were evidently watching
his movements closely, for they apparently
saw him draw his 'gun" and became dis.
henrtened and did not daro to make any at.
tempt TO assault and rob him. After Mr.. Con-
ley reached home ne found that the men had
been hanging around in the neighborhood,
and that at one time during the evening they
had attracted the attention Of his Wi fe, who
mad opened the door 10 investigate, and upon
asking IL it was Mr.. c nley who was roaming
about the premises had been answered in the
affirmative. The man immedia ely left and
IL was probably he and his companion who
followed Mr.. Conley mp the street later with
the evident intention Of r. lievi1g him o, his
money and valuables. Three strangers, who
We're not by any means of the most prepo 3ses-
sing appearance, were seen hanging around
the Lii pitt grove yesterday, and one Of them
was re ognized by an ex'oficer OF the state
institutions as a former inmate OF the reform
SC ool. The mon hung around tso saloons in
Lippltt and River Point during the earlier
part of the evening, and apparently figured
on the time on which Mr.. Couev would lcavo
his place OF business for his home. They
were seen in Lippitt about II o'clock; but
since then their whereabouts Is unknown, un-
less they were the men who "stOllSod" Mr..
Cunley ON his way home.
This morning MIR Conlcy was not very
communicativ but from his own statements
10 The News man and what could be gained
from outside sources. another hold-up and
shooting affrsy was narrowly avorted by the
GOODNESS OF Mr.. Conley and the lack Of bacx-
bone In the wo uld-ie highwaymcn.
