Tho most desporate attempt nt rob bery that has been committed In this com munity tor years was at the home of Frank W, Miles, a railroad man, last night. Mr. nnd Mrs. Miles hud attended the annual hall ot the Fraternal Aid ansoulntlon In tho evening and did not rotlro until 1 o'clock. Two hours later Mr. Miles was awakened by a nolsn ln tho room. His llrst Impres sion was that Mrs. Mllos was up ami ho called lo her, asking what was tho matter. Thero was no response. He raised up In bed and was struck a blow on tho head which danid him for a moment. Ho mado further attempts to get up, Intending to go nftor his revolver, whan ho felt something thrown In his face. Ho scarcely paid any nttentlon to tho mnttor and when bo was out of bed his assailant rotronted. I'pon going Into another ronnj Mr. Miles found thcro wero two of tho Intruders. They had opened the rear door In order to havo a means oi escape, though they gained their entrance through n rear window which had been left unlatched. Fire Heternl Shut. When tho burglars dashed out of tho door Mr. Miles, having found his revolver, followed them nnd fired several shots. Tho men rau down tho alloy, ono of them yell ing at his partner as they did so: "We will haro to drop It. Wo can't make It." Lator It wns found that "It" referred to a wash sack In which were two of Mrs. Miles' skirts, valued at $15 each, n Jackot of the same value, a pair of trousers anil a vest belonging to Mr. Mllos, a gold watch of tho value of $48, threo rings, onu diamond worth along $100 and consldorahlo silverware. Tho sack was recovered. Aside from this the men secured a pocketbook with $33 and some change, which was not recovered. Mr. Mllos thinks that ono of his shots, fired In the alley, struck ono of the men, as ho Jumpod In the air and was assisted along by his companion, who in turn shot nt Mr. Miles. Tho Jatlcr stopped on u piecn of glass In tbo alley and, being bare footed, had to abandon tho chase. Wife Alno llurued. Upon returning to the house he found his wlfo In hysterics. When Mr. Miles felt mo liquid thrown In his fnee ho paid llttlo nttentlon to It In tho excitement, but upon returning ho found that carbolic acid hail been thrown all over Mrs. Miles' face. Ho thon realized what tho prickling, burning sensation on his neck was. A doctor wns I called anil it Is believed thcro will bo no serious results nsldo from tho Intenso pain. Fortunately Mrs. Mllos bad not awakened until after her husband hnd got out of bed after the burglars and thus the aold thrown In her face did not. affect tho eyes. There Is no cluo to tho burglars, but It U believed that It Is the work of homo talent. Mr. Miles being In tho employ of tho Union Pacific, had Just two days previously ob tained bis month's pay.
