Hayes, Chief of Police of Ansonia, was att tempting to arrest one James, 0lSds ''Chip, /" Smith, he was shot in the abdomen with re- volver in the hands of his prisoner, and may die. Smith who is said to be exceedingly quarrelsome, was making a great deal of noise on Main street, and when demonstrated with by Chief Hayes he abused the officer and was immediately placed under arrest. A struggle ensued during which Smith drew a revolver and fred two shots, one taking eff feet as above stated. The Chief, after he was shot, shouted for help, and 8 citizen went to his assistance and the prisoner was locked up. Chief Hayes was taken to the house of Officer Ellis, near the lookup, where his wound was examined by Dr. Blodgett. It was found that the ball had entered the ab- domen two inches below and little to the right of the naval and so close was the wea- pon discharged that woolen jacket worn by Hayes was scorched and blackened Doctor Blodgett at once set to york; and, although he probed the wound almost six inches inward, he failed to find the ball. Further probing was deemed inexpedient for a time.
 At o'clock yesterday morning Smith was taken from his cell to the court room above, and before Judge Peck, with Attorney V. Munger for the State, was charged with Gas sault with intent to kill Smith was not put to plea, it being the wish of the court to waive the examination until the result of Hayes injuries should be decided. Accord ingly the hearing was adjourned until next Tuesday at 9 o'clock.
