ATTEMPTED BURGLARY
AND MURDER.
Bros. Co. at this place and ser
iously wound one of the
clerks sleeping In the
store.

Saratoga was considerably ex-
cited yesterday morning when the
report spread over town that some
thieves had broken into the store
of Cosgriff Bros. Co., and had ser
iously wounded Peter Lefferts,
one of the two clerks who were
sleeping in the store to guard it.
About two O'Clock Wednesday
morning Mr.. Lefferts was awaken
ed by the noise of some one break
ing the lock from an iron shutter
on the south site of the building
He woke Arthur Huntington, who
was sleeping with him, and they
got guns and awaited further de-
velopments
For some time they remained
quiet, nd Mr.. Lefferts, thinking
they had gone, sent Arthur to the
front door to give the alarm, while
he himself, opened the door lead
ing from the back part of the
store to the warehouse, only to be
confronted by the burglar, who
vas evidently standing near the
door of the wareroom, listening.
AS soon as the burglar saw LEI
ferts he drew his gun and attempt
ed to shoot; but Letferts sprang
forward and caught the gun, and
endeavored to turn it to one side.
The man fired and the ball passed
through the left side of Mr.. LEI
ferts' body, between the wall of
the abdomen and the bowels, in
Hicting a very painful, though not
necessary fata! wound. Lefferts
fired three shots at the retreating
man while Huntington fred two
shots at the front door to raise the
alarm.
A crowd soon assembled but the
burglars had escaped. Mr.. LEI
ferts was at once cared FOR and DR..
Price was called in to dress his
wounds. He vas taken to the
residence of Judge Blood, where
he will remain until recovered.
There is no clew to the burg
lars. The thieves were evidently
ben. on getting at and blowing up
the safe of the Saratoga State
Bank which stands behind the
office counter. Mr.. Lefferts show
ed nerve in tackling the burglar,
firing three shots at him after be-
ing dangerously wounded.
The company are making every
effort to discover the burglars and
apprehend them, though, so far as
we know, there is absolutely no
clew. One party in town believes
he knows at least one of the men,
but to connect him with the at
tempted burglary is quite another
matter.

POcatello, April 1S.-The promised
opening of the reservation has not yet
materialiZed and the people of Poca-
tello have been disappointed so often
that they will not become enthusiastic
over the matter until the bill again
passes the senate as amended. 1t is be-
lieved that Senator Shoup expects to
use the bill as a weapon this fall, as
he did in the recent city campaign.
The matter of rebuilding the opera
house, burned last winter, is still under
consideration, but nothing definite has
been done. 1t is said that unless def

elegant opera house constructed.

Democrat, with one vacancy to be

The new mayor Immediately an

the city debt from S23, 900 six years ago
to about s., 400 now. a reduction of
