ACTTIZEN MISTAKEN FOR BURGLAR AND
SHoT.-lnclted by the operations OF burglars,
In FAIR Haven lately, Mr.. Leonard Russell and
two companions undertook the task of watch
ing for the rogues, and on Monday night last
they took position near the Second Congrega-
uonal church. in front of the house of Mr..
Zadoc X. Morse. from which place they had a
view of the roads in four directions. The night
was dark and rainy. The watchers kept their
places till an early hour in the morning, when
Mr.. Henry A. Morse, the son Of the gentleman
above mentioned, walked unconcernedly 10 the
gate In 'front.' Of the house and nearly on
the point OF entering, when he stepped on the
foot Of Mr.. Russell, who was sitting or lying
beneath a tree near tie gate. Startled by the
unexpected occurrence he sprang to one side
and demanded, 'Who Is here" Thereupon
Mr.. Russell, supposing he was accosted by
some one of the gang Of burglars who had so
excited the Fair Hayeners, drew a navy revolt
just below the right cheek bone passing
through he auricular canal and lodging in ths,
thick bones Just IN the rear of the ear. As soon
as the shot was fired Mr. Morse, supposing he
was assaulted by burglars, ran 10 the house
and called 10 his father. The mistake was at
once painfully apparent. DIR. Thompson was
al once called, and after q painful operation
the ball was removed and the unfort innate man
weak with the loss Of blood, was made As COM
Portable as possible. HIS wounds, though
serious, are not mortal. Ii appears that Mr..
Morse returned on the two O'Clock owl train
from a business engagement at SaybroOk, and
walked from New Haven 10 Fair Haven. This
accounts for his appearance al the gate al the
early hour mentioned.-NeW Hauen Journal,
