cation company's line at Monavills
switch, just east of the city limits Of
Portland, were met by a young man
named Peter Yetter, who was return.
ing from a hunting trip. Yetter was
carrying Winchester rifle, and when
seen by the bandits was commanded to
throw up his hands. The young fellow
refused to do so and the robbers opened
fire on him, which Yetter returned,
Yetter was hit in the side and slightly
wounded, and from the fact that he
heard one of the men cry out, ooh,
God, I'm shot. Joe," Yetter thinks
that one of the bullets took effect. The
night as pitch dark, and Yetter was
unable to see what became of the men,
who abandoned their attempt to hold
up the train.
Yetter states that he was walking
along the track and when nearing the
Montavilla switch he suddenly saw the
Nhito 5"ltChilSHts CnhuRe l1Oul white
to green. He continued on along the
track, and when near the light was
surprised to see four men, who, in the
dim light, he could see were masked
and heavily armed, waiting for him.
AS soon as they discovered him the
bandits levelled their weapons on him
and commanded him to throw up his
hands. Instead of complying he swung
the Winchester into position, but be-
fore he could discharge the gun he felt
singing sensation in his side.
He was slightly stunned by the force
of the bullet, but recovered himself
just as one of the men turned and fired
at him again. Yetter says that he fired
in the direction Of the flash and heard
the robber cry out in pain.
The robbers had already started to
run when they fred the last shot, but
as Yetter was considerably weakened
by loss of blood he was unable to pur-
sue them and they escaped.

electric pole, from which several live
wires were burned. Only one man is
reported killed by these wires, though
several were stunned.

NORA ANDERSON Is
ADJUDGED INSANE.
Woman who Burned Boy to Death
viii he Sent to Asylum.


After hearing all the evidence in
the case a lunacy jury in the Court
of Ordinary yesterday adjudged Nora
Anderson, colored, insane. She will be
sent to Milledgeville for treatment.
The Anderson woman is the one who
burned to death a neighbours child
The mother of the child. Mary Vincent,
appeared against the woman and stat
ed that she had committed the terri
bic deed, not because she was insane,
but purely for revenge. The testi-
mony of other witnesses, however, in
Guiding that Of the physicians, did not
substantiate the charges of the Vim
cent woman.
When the jury entered the Jail to
view the woman she was found sitting
huddled in a corner of her CELL her
fingers moving restlessly, and her eyes
apparently uncomprehending of any
thing that passed before them, save in
a half-conscious way. All efforts to in
duce her to speak were in vain and
the attendants at the Jail testified that
it was only with the greatest difficulty
that she could be induced to eat any
thing.
