ASoTEKk SHOOTING AFFAIR ON MAx,.
KEr srRREr-Probabs Murder-Pat.'
rick Pepperpod of East Thirty-fourth
street was shot by a man said to be
named Thomas Saltbox, of the same
street, lies in precarious condi-
ton, and the doctor who attended the
wounded man says the wound inflicted
ia exactly the came as that which
caused the death of Colonel James
Fisk.
The wounded man says be stood about
ak feet distant when fred at Two
shots were fred, only one OF which
struck MIN. After receiving the wound
be walked to the nearest drug store.
The doctor states that q ball had
struck the case of Patricks watch and
bent it, but cannot say whether it was
that one that entered the abdomen.
II it was the same ball that struck
against the case Of Pstrick's silver
ratch and caused the wound, it is
probable that the injuries are not seri-
GUS. The balls fired were base balls. The
quarrel arose in 3 dispute. whether
there is one or more than one
One Price Clothing House in the
city. We could have answered
that question truthfully, had the par
ties consulted us. For the information
of our many readers we would state
that the only Square Dealing, One
Price Clotkibg House in the city is that
OF II. Frank, located at 40 Monroe
street. There is still a standing re.
ward of 500 to the first person who
can prove he varies from his one price
rule. Remember the place where man,
woman or child ia treated alike wheth-
er experienced or not. 40 Monroe street,
