M0UNDSvILLE.
Events of Yesterday in the Marshall
County City.
A Midnight Assault.


Midnight Assault.
For some time past someone has
been tampering with the switch on
the Ohio River road at Twelfth street.
Several times the lock has been broken
and spikes, pins and stones placed in
the frog Several attempts have also
been made to burglarize the freight
depot. On Tuesday night Hoy McCus-
key, night operator at the depot, heard
someone prowling about the freight
house, and instituted search, without
finding anyone. He called Officers
Stillwell and Prettyman, who were not
far away, but they, too, failed to find
anyone. They walked away and few
minutes later AIr. McCuskey left the
Office and started down to examine the
switch, as a train was due in short
time. When he passed the south end
of the freight Office man with an
open knife in his hand sprang upon
him. They clinched and fell to the
ground, but Hoy finally managed to
break away and quickly got revol-
yer from his pocket and fired two
shots at the man, who started to run
down the track, after firing one shot
at McCuskey. In the melee McCuskey's
clothes were cut in several places and
he got a bad cash on his left arm. His
assailant evidently intended to do him
up and then rob the depot, as no one
else was about at that time. When
the policemen heard the shots they
hurried back, but too late, as the
would-be robber had made good his
escape. 1t is said that great many
suspicious characters are frequently
seen loafing around in that vicinity
Of late, and the place evidently needs
more watching than the solitary police
nan can give.
