ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY AND MURDER - The Grass Valley National of March 26th related the following case of a most daring outrage: Tuesday evening at about half-past nine o'clock a most daring attempt at robbery was made at the residence of E. COLEMAN, of the North Star Quartz Mining Company, French Lead. COLEMAN had been to town and returned at the hour above mentioned, and while sitting in his room reading the paper some person knocked at the door, on opening which he found a pistol presented at his dead by a man in disguise. His only show was then to step behind the door, and as the robber forced his way in, COLEMAN seized him, and a scuffle ensued, during which both fell to the floor. The noise made by him attracted the attention of a companion of the robber, who, it seems, was stationed outside, and who thereupon rushed in, struck COLEMAN with a knife, and being a powerful man, dragged him off his companion, and hurling him against the wall, succeeded in stunning him for a moment, during which time they both escaped from the house. COLEMAN as soon as he recovered pursued the robbers and succeede! d in overtaking them, upon which they turned upon him and threatened to shoot him if he made any attempt at molesting them, and being without a weapon of any kind he was thus compelled to let the robbers escape. Both of the men had their faces blackened, and no doubt had followed COLEMAN from town. Their object evidently was to intimidate him, and then force him to open the Company\rquote s safe. This attempt is the more daring from the fact that all the neighboring houses had lights burning, the inmates not having retired to rest. We are happy to learn that the wound received by COLEMAN is but a slight one, the robber evidently having missed his aim. COLEMAN displayed great bravery and coolness in the affair, and with anything like an equal chance would have \ldblquote saved\rdblquote the ruffians. MARRIED In Marysville, March 26th, S.S.
