Some clumsy thief attempted to force an entrance into J. G. Humaker's store last Saturday night about the midnight hour, but the night watch, seeing the suspicious figure he cut, frightened him away. The thief on plunder. bent attacked the rear door of the store with a gimlet, and intended, probably, to cut out the lock, lie didn't get much farther than boring through the wood twice, when the watchman, who was gazing from afar, with malice and aforethought, took deliberate aim with a revolver at the innocent citizen, and fired.

The thief disappeared in the twinkling of an eye and in addition to some extra maneuvers thus ended the thrilling and hair-raising attempt of a burglary on a dark night. Protracted meetings in the United church will continue this week. Prohibition F. B. WILSON, LAMD LOAN AGENT (Office over Post Office), ABILENE.
