On Tuesday evening Mr. Geo. Cox of Pas- chal, who when in the city, rooms in the build- ing opposite the residence of Geo. Carvil, was aroused a little before midnight by a suspicious noise, arose and discovered some one trying to pry up the window. Mr. Cox opened the door, saw a Mexican and fired a couple of shots at him without either of them taking effect. There is nothing like a shot gun in emergencies like these.
