BOLD ATTEMPT AT HIGHWAY ROBBERY.
 It is not often that an attempt of highway robbery occurs in this sec tion, but the affair of last Sunday night upon Dr Claude Blackman, the Bank street dentist, in Long Meadows, BroOktield, shows us we are not free from our share of such lawlesSness. He was accompanied by Mrs Blackman and baby. It occurred near the home of Robert Bristol about D. m., just after the shower. Two men came out of the bushes, each one seizing the brdle and demanding his money and what he had of value. He whipped up his horse but could not free him from their grasp. After repeated attempts to drive his horse the harness was cut in such way that he freed himself and they were left in the wagon. The doctor had q lantern which was knock ed out of his hand early in the fray. The doctor now threatened to shoot them when they left without securing anything. They soon made their way to w. Hamlin's, who went with his horse to bring home the wagon. They succeeded in finding the doctors horse, which was uninjured. They returned to the home of Mrs c. G. Williams, Mrs Blackman's mother, where they are now staying during Mrs Williams absence at Buffalo

A popular local business man, a bachelor, and gentlemen friend had an exciting experience not long since of which they are saying very little. Securing livery rig they went to call on some fair friends in the south part Of the town. After pleasant call they started on and on the return trip encountered, not highwaymen, but one of those pretty black and white animals, that leave their aroma wher- ever they go. The skunk was killed, but the clothing of the two men and the livery rig was sprinkled. At last accounts they were trying to settle with the livery man while two swell suits hang in the back yard for a prop CT airing

The horse sheds at COnetia Park are in bad, leaky condition, and small barn is badly needed. Frank Evitts offered to be one of number to give $l0 each to put them in proper repair. It is hoped some enterprising member of the board of directors will start a subscription paper and raise the mon- ey.
