Holding the Next Annual Over Head with Revolvers by An Able and an Entertaining Speaker. Thugs who were Caught District Conference A bold aud dastardly assault and an unsuccessful attempt at robbery occurred i 11 Cottage Grove at a little after H o'clock Monday evening. VV. V. De- wald’ s grocery store, which stands apart from other buildings just east of the Southern Pacific depot, was the scene of this liold crime which occurred just as Mr. Dewald was in the act of closing his place of business for the night. While in the act of locking his door, a stranger appeared outside and thinking a belated customer had called, Mr. Dewald reopened the door aud stepped over to the counter. The stranger walked in, approached Mr. Dewald and pointing a revolver at him de manded his money aud told him to be quick aliout handing it over. Mr. DeWald, though well ad vanced in years, grappled with the thug, who dealt the merchant a stunning blow on the side of the head with his revolver, cutting a deep and painful gash which tiled profusely. The old gentleman re newed his fight, whereupon a second thug appeared on the scene and dealt him another blow on the head with his gun. Just then Mrs. Dewald appeared in the store from their apartments in the rear of the liuileiug and screamed. The smaller robber took to his heels, but the larger one attempt ed to drag Mr. Dewald from his store, but being unable to do so, finally beat a hasty retreat. CAPTURE OF THE THUGS. The officers were at once notified of the assault aud attempted rob bery and two posses were quickly organized, one headed by Green Pitcher going north to guard the wagon road and railroad at King’s crossing, the other composed of Marshal Prank Snodgrass, Fred Bartels, Jas.
