Attack Mr. Frank Miller at Grant's
Creek This Morning.
Mr. I Frank Miller, the clever
salesman at Smoot Bios. & Rogers'
had ari experience early this morn
ing that he is not likely to forget
soon.
He had been to a watermelon
feast at Mr. J. A. Hudson's, near
the old Moeksvillo road, four or
five miles from the city, and was
returning home alone in his buggy.
The hour was between 1 and 2
o'clock At Grant- eek he was
accosted by- two , highwaymen who
were standing in the shadow of a
tree one of them saying to him,
4 'Captain, where are you going V
Mr. Miller replied, ,"I am going
to town." The highwayman said,
"Well, we have got farther to go
than you have, we will just take
your buggy." Mr. Miller replied,
4 'take him," but kept on driving.
The highwayman then fired a shot
at 'Mr. Miller, the ball passing
through the top of the buggy, the
top being turned down, and dan
gerously near him. The nnan
snapped several other times but
his pistol did. not go .off. ' j
