RECKLESS RIFLE PRACTICE.
A Dangerous shooting Gallery.

A Dangerous Shooting Gallery.
Coroner Herman yesterday commenced an in
vestigation into the circumstances attending the
death OF Charles Bauman, the lad seventeen years
Of age who was fatally shot at jones' Wood on
wednesday last The bullet which caused death,
doubtless, had been discharged at target
and missing its aim, accidentally struck Bau-
man in the back. That the target was in an
unsafe and dangerous condition is evident from
the facts already developed, and doubtless imme-
diate steps will be taken either to stop the firing
altogether or have 1t conducted so as not hereafter
to endanger human life.

elicI,ed before the C6ron III al
John L. Burton, an officer attached to the Nine.

ultimo, while on duty he heard boy haloolng from
Schrmerhorn's Wood, adjoining Jones' Wood, that q
man was shot; the witness advanced and found de.

the target gallery and notified them that deceased
had been shot, ana requested them to be carefully
that in all probability the bail came from the gallery

target and where deceased was shot which pre-
vented any one being seen from the gallery; the place
where deceased was shot Ii one where boys attempt
to eecI an entrance to jones' Wood by scaling the
fence; the witness, IN company with Roundsman
Macarthur, made careful survey OF the surround-
lngs IN the vicinity OF the target and found marks
OF balls against The fence and wall near where
deceased shot, indicating that 1t Is q
common occurrence for balls to go astray
at that point, max ny IL very unsafe Tor targee

R0un1sman Macarthur, attached to the Nineteenth
precinct, testified that Captain Gunner and hinlseH

divergence of four inches OF rife would cause

man fully concurred In the suggestions made BY
the previous witness regarding The prevention OF
similar accidents
owing to the absence OF important witnesses the
further investigation OF the case was postponed Tor
two or three days.
