General oxcltement wns created in this city yesterday by tho news thatnn attempt had boon inado to nssasslnato Charley Ford, tho elder ot the Ford boys, tho slayer of Jesao James. Tho account, following closo upon tno alleged mysterious dlsap penrrtneo of tho younger brother, Rob, In Now York, created more of a senanllon than It would otherwise hnvo done, nnd tin opinion prevailed for a tlmo that friends o( tho dead bandit had nt last organized to leek revenge for hla death. Tho nows was found to lio reliable, nnd prnvod thnt Charley Ford had really hail n narrow es- ;apo from death at tha hands ot unknown assailants, tist Tuesday night Charley Ford was, as he has beon for two weeks p.ist, stopping nt tho liouso ot Ins father, .which Is situated in tbo country, nbout two miles north ot this city. Tho liouso Is tho Ordinary farm-house, with tho usual out buildings, and having, llko most farmers' places in this region, n dense growth of weetls In tho ynrd.

How long tho men re gained thus hidden Is unknown, but they waited until Charley Ford ramo out ot tho hnuso, a in did nt nu early hour lu tho evening. Ho had no sooner got fairly out Ida tho door than n perfect ftisllndo ot shots was opened upon film fromtho weeds, and Hint he wns not shot down at onco Is only explainable upon the theory that tho darkness rendered the aim of hlanssnlhitits uncurtain.
