Bums declined the hospitality offered and at once cornmeiicrd an attack upon Huin- mell, beiug joined in the awault by two men who rushed into the house. Mr. llumtnel! says two others stood guard outside. Hum mull's daughter stood as an eye wituess,panie stricken by fright. After Ilummell bad been overpowered Burns proceeded to make a search fur booty and put his bands into the pockets of an overcoat that hung from a null In the wall. Hello, butty," he exclaimed to his pals, here are the thiugd we wauti" and betook a revo'ver from the oyercuat, at the same time discharging the weapon aud the bullet went Into the ceiling of the room. Ilummell pleaded with the robbers not to harm and rob an old soldier, but oue of them retorted that ho and bis pals were old soldiers, too, having been at Plattsburg. They secured $65 in cash, took the movements from a clock aud left the frame, and carried off some silk handkerchiefs, tbo revolver, some oartridges, aud u few minor articles, testenlay Constable Phillips learned that luring the day Welsh had given to a yuung man of town a handful of tartridges, remark ing that they would fit somebody's revolver aud be had no use for them.
