Shot I'm the Nose.

How Jim DO yer came Near Putting
an End to Dduid Walkers Erist-
Ince
on Saturday Jim Boyer, country
coon living out near Newport, came into
town and got vilianously drunk OH five
cent Water street whiskey. In the after
noon while walking out Front street, he
was overaken by his friend and neigh
Dor, David Walker, col, who tried to In
duce him to 90 home, Walkers kind eff
forts, however, only had the effect ofput-
ting Jim in fighting mood, and he quar-
relied with Walker until they got out on
Maryland avenue, when he became more
violent In his demonstrations and threat
twice, but Walker easily pushed hlm
down and walked on. Hearing Jim ex-
cain, 'I'am going 70 shoot you, you
black-," he turned back and said
"Jm, you won't shoot me, put that pis-
tol up" "Won't l." exclaimed Jim, aud
he bIazed away point blank at Walker,
the ball striking him on the bridge of the
nose and penetrating his face. Walker
was at first dazed and bewildered by the
shot, but seeing Jim still coming at him
he picked up stone to defend himself
with. He then ended the affray by
knocking jim down with his fist, and
went over in Browntown and stopped at
the house of friend. Several doctors
were sent for to attend to his wound, but
none would come, as 1t would necessitate
their attendance at court as witnesses in
the case. So Walker got into a wagon
and was taken to Newport near which
place he lives } where DR.. Lukens at
tended 70 the wound. He probed for
the ball, but was unable to find it, and
expressed the opinion that it had passed
through the nose into the mouth, and
then been spit out by Walker, during
the excitement that followed the shoot
ing.
Meanwhile Jim Boyer went on out
Newport pike until he reached Richard
sons woods, when he laid down TO sleep
of bis drunkenness. Here be was found
by Sergeant Legg, who folio Sed him up
briskly as soon as the shooting was re-
ported at police quarters. The pistol Ga
small six-shooter) was found in Boyer's
pockets, and also box of cartridges. He
was at once taken to the police station.
Last night the hearing came off before
Mayor Almond, and Walker, who then
appeared none the worse for the shooting,
detailed the circumstances of the affair,
as II lated above.
Wnen he finished, Boyer asked, "Un-
Gle Davy, did l cuss and 'buse you yester-
day ?"
eyes," replied David, "you did"
Then said jim: 81 clar to gracious,
Uncle Davy, never knowed muffin about
that shootin' till dis mornin'; and |
thought you was wusser nor you is, from
what the perl,ce said. never had nuf-
fin agin you Uncle Davy, an wouldn't
hal this yer happen fur anything
VIM. Sinex and James Writ testified to
seeing the shooting, and Sergeant Legg to
arresting Boyer.
Then the Mayor said: "James, that
you are not here as murderer, is no
fault ofyours. You certainly fired to kill
aud that you do not now stand charged
with murder is the fault of the pistol and
not yours. l will therefore hold you in
$1,000 bail for appearance at Court"
James was then returned to his cell,
and will be taken to New Castle to-day,
as no person Is likely to become surety
for his appearance when required.

In Their New Quarters.

The congregation of the Reformed
Episcopal Church of the Covenant, yes
terday " orshiped in their new quarters,
the old Union Church on West Second
street near Washington. During the pas
few weeks the building has been entirly
rejuvenated, and the addition of a coat
of plaster nestly squared, on the outside,
and OF plaster, paint-carpets, and matti ng
inside have impaired to the building a
new and fresh appearance and rendered
it a very desirable place of worship. The
pulpit yesterday, morning and eveeing,
was occupied by Rev. Mr.. Feltwell, OF
Philadelphia, and this evening Rev. Mr..
Duval of the First Presbyterian Church
will preach there.

Gabriel Smith was next tried for
drunkenness and disorderly conduct.
Gabe was out on Maryland Avenue, dur
ins the afternoon, very drunk, and when
ofhcer Gibbons ordered him off one cor
ner he simply crossed the street to the
other corner. Then officer Payne went
to arrest him and he ran, both officers
pursuing him down Bird street. Officer
Gibbons fired two or three shots after the
fleeing coon, but fortunately the shots
did no damage, and Gabriel being too
