An Attempted Crime.

Tuesday morning about O'Clock
the little 11-year-old girl of F. f.
Horn, who lives one half mile north
of Fulton, was awakened by the noise
of some one around her bed
She thought it to be her father.
who was sleeping in the same room.
Presently she felt hands on her face
and she screamed, awakening her
father who jumped up, seized a gun,
a negro jumped over a chair, and
got out of a window as he did so.
Mr.. Horn fired several shots at him,
but presumably missed him.
He at once aroused several of his
neighbors and blood hounds were
brought into play, but no success was
made to capture the brute. It is sup
posed he caught an outgoing freight
and made his escape.
Mr.. Horn says that he wore no
coat, but further he could not de-
scribe him.
II is not known whether he was
attempting to commit criminal assault
or whether he was attempting TO
steal or murder, but any way, had
he been caught, he would have been
handled roughly.
