THE PISTOL ONCE AGAIN.
The Ex-Captain of the No. 4 Fire

The Ex-Captain of the No. Fire
90. shoots HIS Ex.Bark eepeF.
Late yesterday afternoon pistol shot
was heard in an Adams street bar-room.
The police at the station rushed in and
captured John Sullivan, who had shot
Tom Cogan. 1t seems that Cogan had
kept bar at Sullivan's Main street saloon
and had left the place. A fireman who
owed bill in the saloon, asked Cogan
the amount of it and was informed that
1t was three dollars and half; but when
be went to settle, Sullivan had
him charged with eight dollars-a differ
ence of amount which caused general
"kick all around. Last evening Sulli-
van and Cogan met up town and came
down to Adams street, took drink and
shook hands. Immediately after so do
ing Sullivan renewed the difficulty and
little rough and tumble eHsued. Barney
Lynch, another fireman present, seeing
Sullivan drawing a pistol seized him and
told Cogan to run" Cogsn got out,
but turning, ran back through the saloon.
and as he did so Sullivan, leveling his
Smith & Wesson fve-shooter snapped a
cap; leveling it a second time, he fred,
the ball striking Cogan above and back
of the hip. Cogan exclaimed that he
was shot, and Sullivan was conducted to
the Adams street station-house and
locked up.
Sullivan is well known in this city,
having been the Mayors nominee for
Captain of the No. Fire Company
against Mcmahon, whom the Common
Council backed. The Mayor nominated
Sullivan repeatedly, but the Council re-
fused TO confirm the nomination, and
the I" dead lock was opened by picking
up another man and throwing overheard
both favorites. Since that time Sullivan
has remained q member of the As, but
has been drinking, and has been engaged
in several rows, during one Of which he
was arrested and broke out Of the sta
tion-house. For this he was suspended,
but he should have been discharged
from the force at the time.
Cogan has been doorkeepe- at varie-
ties theaters and a barkeeper at several
gin mills. His last place was at Sulh-
vans saloon, near the Main street en-
CINE house, which place he Left not long
since, and which resulted in the diff
Guilty above mentioned. Both Sullivan
and Cogan are dangerous men when
drunk, and are on the shoot when in
that condition known as "rowdyism."
This forenoon Sullivan was brought
out before Esquire Miller on q warrant
sworn out by Mat Doyle. 1t was in evil
dence before the justice that the wound
received by Cogan was severe, but not
necessarily dangerous or fatal. Sullivan
was placed under bond of $4,000 to APP
pear this afternoon to answer the charge
of shooting Cogan with intent to kill.
The bond was given and Sullivan was set
