Emma IN. CO. Postoffice Clerk Fought
Four Robbers with Sue
cess

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dee. 26.-As
a reward for defending the postoiiice at
Emma, n. c., four years ago against
four burglars, President Roosevelt has
waived the civil service regulations on
the recommendation of Postmaster Gen
eral Cortelyou, and II. s. Alexander has
been promoted from a laborer to Il clerk
ship in the department.
Official Account Preserved
Not only has the brave North Caro-
liniau been promoted, but to accentuate
the honor, an official statement was is
sued today which gives a full account
of the deed. The attempted robbery took
place on. the night of February e, 1901.
The account says in part:
After the store In which the postoflce at
Emma is located closed for the night, Mr..
Alexander, who had been sleeping In the
room adjoining, heard knock on the door
and inquired what was wanted. He was
told that someone living near wanted his
mail, and he unbarred the door.
Masked Men Answer Him.
Two masked men entered, covered him
with revolvers and commanded him to give
up his own revolver and open the treproof
safe.
While one Of the robbers, Frank Johnson,
who had laid his revolver on the desk near
the safe, was STOPPING in the act Of looting
the safe, and during moment when the
other burglar, Ben Foster, had his head
turned, Alexander seized the idle revolver
and shot the latter near the heart. lie

to do so, as the revolver snapped

desperate struggle followed. Foster,
ander and shot him in the abdomen, the
bullet coming out at the back. Alexander,
seeing Foster about to shoot at him again,
swung Johnson around so that the bullet
struck Johnson's left shoulder from the
rear, passed through his neck and lodged
in his right jaw, from which it was ex-
tracted. AeXander's face and hands We're
badly cut and bruised before he over
powered the burglars.

Hero Is Small Man.
The postmaster, hearing this signal, came
| to AleXlndcr's relief and found him lying
weak and fainting In pool of blood HIS
bravery IS most aCccntuated when 1t Is
known that Mr.. Alexander is a man of
small stature, probably not more than >
feet inches tail, and weighs less than i2J
pounds. 1t would seem that he must have
been possessed of almost superhuman
strength to GUST the two desperadoes from
the postottce.

The two burglars above mentioned, to.
