BULLETS IN THE AIR.
Music From the Festive Revolver.
Twenty Shots Fired and Only One
Man Wounded.

Yesterday morning about 3 o'clock this
peaceful suburban city was thrown INTO
unusual excitement. and the turmoil was
all caused by ADVANTAGEOUS COW boy
who started the mischief by too free use
of his little revolver.
In Dodge City, after dark. the report of
a revolver generally means business and is
an indication that somebody is on the war
path. therefore when the noise of this
shooting and the wells of excited voices
rang out on the midnight breeze, the
sleeping community awoke from their
slnmbers. listened while to the click OF
the revolver. wondered who was shot this
time, and then went to sleep again. But
in the morning many dreaded to hear the
result of the war lest 1T should be story
of blOodshed and carnage, or Of death to
some familiar friend. But in this in
stance there was an abundance of noise
and smoke, with no very terrible results.
1t seems that three or four herders were
paying their respects to the city and its
institutions, and as is usually their Gus
tom, remained until about o'clock in the
morning, when they prepared to return to
their camps. They buckled on their re-
volvers, which they were not allowed to
wear around town. and mounted their
horses, when all at once one of them
conceived the idea that to finish the
nights revelry and give the natives due
warning of his departure, he must do
some shooting. and forthwith he CON-
menced TO bang away, one of the bullets
whizing into a dance hall near by,
causing no little cOmmotion among the
participants in the dreamy waltz" and
quadrille. Policemen carp and Master
son made raid on the shOotist who gave
them two or three yolleys, but fortunate.
ly without effect. The policemen returned
the fire and followed the herders with the
intention of aIresting them. The firing
then became general. and some rooster
who did not exactly understand the stu
alton, perched himself in a window o.
the dance hall and lndulged in promis
cuous shoot all BY himself. The herder
rode across tie bridge followed by tn,
officers. A few yards from the bridge on,
of the herders fell from his horse from
weakness caused by wound in the arm
which he had received during the fracas
The other herder made good his escape
The wounded man was properly cared TO
and his wound, which proved to be ba,
one, was dressed by DR.. McCarty. Hi
name is George Hoy, and he is rather al
intelligen: looking young man.
