Special TO the Sentinel:
IoGASsPORI, Ind, Dec. "A. = Last night. at
near the hour of 12 startling attempt to muir
der was made on the outskirts of the West side
by Bayard Daily q Pan Handle brakeman, who
runs on passenger train between this city and
State Line, Ill. Daily has for long time been
paying marked attention to Miss Anna Beckley,
who lives with her mother, near the Eel River
shops, on the West Side. The result of these at
tentions was engagement of marriage.
which was to have been consummated within
the coming three weeks Last night Daily went
over to see Miss Beckley. and as he entered the
premises he met one Carsinger. The sight of this
fellow, so near his dulcinea, enraged Daily, and
he soon became engaged in q stormy racket with
the object of his wrath. During this quarrel
Daily's anger toward Carsinger became so
marked that he ran into the house and demanded
of his betrothed the surrender of a dirk
belonging to him, which he had given into
her keeping. Fearing that Daily would do some
terrible act if given the weapon the girl refused
to deliver it up. This enraged Daily more than
ever, and in an excited voice, he told the girl
that unless she gave him he knife at once he
would shoot her. Believing the threat idle, the
girl still refused and Daily, without an
other word, drew the weapon and
fired, the ball striking Miss Beck
ley above the right eye, and knocking her
TO the floor Daily leveled his revolver as If to
fire again, but the girl. with herculean strength,
staggered forward and knocked it from his hand.
Saying, 'I'n finish you" Daily seized the girl
by the throat and attempted TO strangle her,
when the mother interfered, and the two wo-
men managed to make him loosen his grasp. He
then left the house. and was afterward arrested at
his boarding house. The balS which Daily fired
from his revolver struck Miss Beckley above the
left eye, passed around between the skull and
scalp, and came out three inches above the right
ear. The wound is not considered dangerous.

Ousy in seeing Carsinger leaving the house Of his
