FIRE ARMS ON THE STAGE.
The Shooting Of a Boy in the Gallery
Of Baltimore Theatre by
Buffalo Bill. p.I

The Baltimore American Of We'd
nesday morning says: The boy
Michael Gardner, who was shot in
Ford's Opera House, on Monday
night, by Mr.. William f. Cody,
more generally known as "But-
falo Bill" remained in the
same critical condition yesterday,
and the chances for his recovery are
yet very slight. He is at his par
ents' dwelling, No. 1856 West street,
and by direction Of Mr.. Cody, has
been given everv attention that
money can provide.
His father, Bernard Gardner, is
a cooper by trade, and is a very in
dustrious man. Michael, like all
the rest of the grown children,
worked for his living, He was very
fond Of reading dime novels and
Indian stories in boys periodicals,
and worShipped Buffalo Bill as q
great hero. From his front seat in
the gallery, secured by gong early
and waiting until the doors opened,
as there was a great rush of boys
on opening night, he watched the
performance Of the exciting drama
with the deepest interest, and when
the accident, occurred was leaning
far over the railing. ig ngla
Near the close Of the last act
there was a trial Of skill between
Buffalo Bill and other scouts in the
troupe at shooting glass balls sprung
from trap. The rifles used in
shooting at the glass balls were
loaded with bullets, but the charge
Of powder was supposed to be SO
small as not to give the bullets any
penetrating power except at such a
short distance as The length of the
stage. For some reason Buffalo
Bill was not fortunate in his aim on
the opening night.
Owing to want Of practice, short
range, or the way in which the
rifles were loaded, he did not strike
the balls as often as was expected,
and this circumstance seemed to
disturb him. During the shooting
he missed six balls in succession,
and misses appeared TO be the rule
and hits the exception. The con.
test was then stopped, and Buffalo
Bill, mounting bis pony, waved
adieu TO the gathered Indians and
scouts and road up an ascent repre-
senling a mountain, taking his vic
torious leave, as it were, accompa.
MED by the plaudits Of tte e1camp,

As he rode up the mountain he
| fred two shots from the rifle with
which he had been shooting at the
glass balls. The two shots were
fired upward. One of them did nc
damage, the bullet probably going
into flies above the scenery, but
the second one struck the boy 10
the gallery, entering near the shoul,
der and passing backward, going
through the left lung and lodging
somewhere in the back. The bal
is SO far inward that the doctors
have no hope Of finding it, When
ever the wound is exposed the all
from the lungs can be seen passing
through it. The boy is kept under
the influence ofopiates, and during
yesterday weakened very much.
