Lyman, A LUOKY ESCAPE. A Bold Attempt at Murder Frustrated by Moving a Bed. Stovx Crry, Ta, June 7.—[Special Tele- gram to the Beg. |—A daring attempt at rob- bery and murder was made early this wmorn- 4ng at the residence of L, G, Baurret, a promi- nent and wealthy farmer, living near the Big Sioux river bridge about four miles northwest of this city. Mr. and Mrs. Baurret intended starting for Canada on a visit, and it is supposed the robbers thought a large sum of money had been drawn from the bank on Saturday for the journey. About 2 o’clock Mrs, Baurret was awakened by anoise as of 'some one trying to getinto the house As Mr. Baurret got up to light the lamp, a gun report was heard and a heavy charge of shot struck the wall only a few inches from his head. This aroused the other inmates who hurriedly came to the rescue just in time to see the retreat- ing persons of three men. Investigation showed that the shot had been fired through the screen wire of the door. The person who fired the shot was evideptly farailiar with the premises, and fatal consequences were only averted by the bed being moved to a differ- ent part of the room dur llfl the day, as the aim taken was in a direct line with the bed in its old position. The police of the city were notitied as soon as possible, and after etting something of a clue arrested Maynard Parks, who had until recently been em- ‘)Inyml by Mr. Bourret and Is now working n the city. Several sn-nms circumstances point to him as the one who did the shootinr nllhnl!gh he has heretofore borne a good raputation. The officers are still after two accomplices. Parks has told several contra- dictory things regarding the matter, and seems considerably agitated. Fighting for a Ratiroad Ronte.

Officers Succoed in Moving the Osrs at Cummings, Cricaeo, June 7.—[Special Telegram to the Bek.|—At Cammings to-day the police finally sueceeded In moving the two cars of nails, When the cars started a large crowd of women, carrying bakies and holding small children by tholr hands, gathered on the street corner and a delegation of them moved down the track a quarter of a mile and directly in the way of the train, A posse of ofticers was sent down and cleared the track. About a hundred feet west of the track, direetly abreast of the disabled cars, was a large unpainted barn, and the police grew uneasy as a crowd of strikers began to gather 1n its vicinity. Another posse was sent out to clear the barn, and the workmen, who had been apprehensive of being fired upon, breathed easier, Everything was pro- nounced clear and the officers boarded the caboose. Superintendent Chamberlain gave the order to start up, and the train, with the caboose at the forward end and engine in the middle, backed slowly out. After progressing about twenty-five feet it was found that the track hiad been liberally soaped, and the en- gine wheels refused to hold. Another ston was made while the tracks waere cleaned, and the train started once more amid the hoots of the women who, driven from the tracks, stood in the immediate vielnity. As the train passed them, one thin-faced haggard lookin woman broke from ler companions and I]lunll‘(l lerself firmly on the track directly in rout of the rapldly approachiug caboose, on the front platform of which was Superin- tendent Chamberlain and a crowd of officers. ‘The traln was stopped and a number of Pt» licemen gently but firmly carried the struggling woman out of harm's way. Another start was made and another woman rau up and threw a rock into the crowd of officers on the platform, doing no damage, however, The engine was given a free head of steamn and _arrived at south Chicago at 12:30 without further incident. Superintend- ent Chamberlain, asconductor of the train, dismounted and turned his way bills over to :lu:fimunn agent and the ofticers adjourned o dinner. - A SUBURBAN KICK.
