Mas Fannie May. of No. 16s1s Allen street. has
procvity for pistol practice which the possession OF
a seyen-shooter permits her to indulge Yesterday
afternoon, it 10 said. she exhibited her skill in rid
ding pictures and perforating wall paper to the edi
cation Of q young gentleman caller. Then after
his departure. she raised the window and fred
o shot. the ball taking effect in the body Of
George Schultz the fifeenyear-od of noighbor.
According to his account Miss May ordered him to
get down from o place in the back yard,
where he and number of other youngsters
perched Failing to comply with satisfac
tory speed, she aimed and fred bringing him to tho
ground "in heap" The young lady gives another
version Of the affair. claiming that her shot was fired
at random. Whatever the fact may be the result
none the less serious for Dr. Dunton. who examined
the wound fears that the bullet after entering the
thigh found lodgment in the stomach. In that case
young Schultz's chance Of recovery Is considered
slight
Miss May was arrested and taken to the Tenth pre-
cnct station house by Officer Crystol. She urges the

History OF SrASFoRD's CHuRcHEs.-
Rev. S. $. McRoberts is the Oldest man liy
ing, that was born in the vicinity Of Stan
ford. lie is ~, and first saw the light il
the same house that Mr.. Milton q. Rainey
now lives, some two miles from town. His
grand parents came from Rockbridge and
Shenandoah counties, Virginia, in 1850, At
which time, he has often heard them say
that the valley in which Stanford nov
stands, was dense cane-brake, while The
hills on the Depot and old Seminary side
were covered with forests Of huge trees
The only road was an Indian trace thro
u,o ,roods which was very difficult O
travel From Mr.. MeRoberts we learn
that the first Church built here was on the
lot where Mr.. Win Craig has recent,
built a cottage, and which is now occupied
by DR.. Morgan. 1t was Of logs, and its
worshippers were the old time Presbyteri-
ans. Subsequently, this old building wa
destroyed, and for a long time building
standing where Buffalo Cemetery is nov
located, was used for a Church. After
wards when the first little brick Court
house was erected, that was used by then
and other denominations, as also was tn
dining-room Of the old hotel which stoo'
where the Myers House now stands, ana
which was then known as the "Red House
and kept by Mr.. Hunton as tavern. Ii
1889, the Presbyterian Church now stand
ing, was built in which Mr.. MeRoberi
preached for twenty years. The ne1
Church built was the Christian in 1855
the Methodist next. in 1860, and the Bar
tist In 1862.
