Last Thursday a daughter of Mr.. Leon

one mile north of Hellensville was married
to Henry Bratz, and in the evening, some
of the young men in the neighborhood at
tempted to give them an Old-tashiOned
charivari. While the horns and tin pans
81 racn.1n1 with thor
internal din, there was borne upon the
passing breeze the sharp, quick crack of a
revolver and one of the party youth
named Willie Schaller, who was standing
on the porch of the house with little
girl by his side, fell to the ground with a
bullet in the center of his forehead. This
ended the music and the youth was taken
into the house and DR.. Chapman sum-
moned to examine the wound. He failed
to find to the ball and on Friday Dr. Reed
was called but with like result. At latest
accounts the boy was resting easier al
though the chances for his recovery are
about even. Strange to say no one can
tell where the shot came from that struck
him and it is even thought it might have
been fired accidentally by one of the par
ty. A thorough investigation OF the at
fair will be had, and it is possible the
secrect will come out.
