Hurrah for our celebration. MORE DEVILTRY. An Attempt at Robbery and As- sassination at Chillicothe. Chillicothe, Mo., June 11,2 p.m.— This morning at 4 o’clock, a sup- posed attempt was made to rob the | ticket office of the Hannibal and St. | Joseph railroad at this place, by a party of negroes, whose depredations upon public and private property are becoming to frequent to be much longer endured by a civilized com- munity. At the hour named.anum- ber of these characters had congre- gated at the stock pen, nearly op- posite from the depot, while two of their number were appointed to be- gin their devilish work Henry Smith, night operator, had just opened the ticket office, which is located about twenty feet from the telegraph office and north of the passenger waiting room, while Fred Tucker, the night assistant, was left in charge of the instruments. Approaching the door one of them urged the other, in loud words, to ‘‘go in and ser.d the dis- |patch.’’ Entering, he asked one or twocommon place questions and then, with an oath, drew a_ revolver had | his friends, to the number of 100 or | continued and empowcred to make | copy of the proceedings, for ication, and, on motion, the | The! and fired, the ball entering the right cheek near tbe corner ot the mouth and coming out back of the ear. Tucker was seated in a chair at the time this shot was fired and jumped to catch the assassin, who ran out on the platform. Closing the door, Tucker wheeled around to get his revolver, and in doing so, was in the actof raising his right hand to the wound when the accomplice fired at him through the window, the shot taking effect at the second joint of the thumb, the ball lodging near the wrist joint and disabling him from using a revolver. depot, hearing the firing, hurried to the scene of conflict, which ened the gang away and_ probably prevented any further attempt at life or property. Mr. Tucker is one of the finest young men in the city, and more, including city and county of- ficials, are in close pursuit of these thieves and _ assassins. Tucker’s wounds are not dangerous.

Brookfield, June 9.—For but one | hour since the raid was made on the bank have the robbers been lost sett ot by their pursuers, and tnen | the trail was quickly tound again | and followed till the bandits were ; | forced into a log hut in the depth ot | | the forrest about thirteen miles south- | west ot Kirksville, where they i H i | | i i FORTIFIED THEMSELVES | and made loop holesin the sides of ; the house by knocking out the plaster batween the logs. From this point of vantage the robbers OPENED FIRE ON THEIR BLOCKADERS and three horses were shot and two men hit with bullets, one getting a ball through the hand whice atter- wards imbedded itself into the stock ot his rifle. H All night long the posse guarded the house expecting the men to make a DASH FOR LIBERTY under the cover of the night, but no such attempt was made. It would have been a solitary failure, for in the bright moonlight every entrance or exit to the house was plainly visi- ble tothe watchers in the woods, while the shade of the thickly leaved trees kept the captors securely hid- den from the prisoners 1n the hut. Nothing occurred during the night andthe day dawned with sleepless men, both inside and ont of the im- provised fort. At 6 o0’clock this morning, how ever, the desperadees called out that they were willing to surrender, pro vided they could he guaranteed safe conduct to the jail. They expressed themselves as decidediv AVERSE TO BEING LYNCHED, and insisted on a fair trial, much after the style of Capt. Jack in the lava beds. After a short consultation the sher- iff announced that the terms of their proposition were accepted and they were told to march out with hands up. Fearing a ruse the guard was kept up on all sides ot the house, and a strong line drawn up in front of the door and sufficiently under cover to | be safe in case of treachery on the} part of the prisoners. Soon the door opened and the ‘“*man with the long nose’’ appeared with hands only partially raised. The members of the posse had no confidence in him, however, and a | i HONDRED WEAPONS CLICKED | as they were brought to bear upon} 'him. His hands went up high, 'right | off. Then the other three followed } {him out and the sheriff went for- | ward and deprived them of their ! weapons. Seven reyolvess and two knives were found. After some consultation among the officers it was decided not to leave with the prisoners for some time until further reinforcements could be received. as there is a pret- ty general belief that the woods are full of armed desperadoes, friends of the bandits, who will ATTEMPT A RESCUE | on the way to jaul. The courier who brought this dis- patch from your regular reporter, who is with the captors in the woods, states that the sheriff says he will bring the men here alive if it takes every able-bodied man in the state ot Missouri to do it. It is generally believed here that the posse will meet with trouble, but they are prepared to make it very unpleasant for the man who inter- feres. The courier from the camp says two ot the men the name of Mason, one that of Fox, while the | other man refuses to give his name. He is the man who acted as leader during the raid. | It is not stated whether the money | was recovered or not, but particulars | are momentarily expected. | } Reinforcements have left here tor ; | the scene of the capture and any at- itempt at rescue will be met with { age resistence. | = i y Corsets!
