Fatal Kat Hunting.

Robert Simpson, sporting goods dealer, of No 132 Nassau street, has for some time past been troubled by the rats in his establishment, which continually nibbled and destroyed his stock of goods. So annoying were the yer min that he determined to shoot them when ever they made their appearance. He was standing in his store yesterday afternoon about half-past five o'clock talking to friend named John Priest when large rat ran over the floor. Both young men followed it behind 8 small railing which divides the little store from the office. Here the rat disappeared un-- der low desk. ''Wen make sure thing of it, said MT. Simpson, as he took revolver from the showcase near by, while his com panion began to load a Remington parlor rifle. When both were ready the desk was pulled away from the wall and the rat ran out. Mr. Simpson jumped up on chair and fired at the animal as it dashed around the narrow space in terror. In another moment an i'm patient ejaculation burst from his lips as he saw the sat again seek cover under the desk. He again loaded the revolver and moved his chair outside the railing closing the door to confine the victim. Priest mounted the desk inside of the railing and told Simpson to ''stir the rat up." The latter began to make 8 noise and finally forced the creature out again. It ran round the office in it's mad efforts to es- cape, and afforded little opportunity for the two to nre. Finally 1t ran past the desk on which Priest stood. As it did there was loud report, both weapons being discharged
 SHOT THROUGH THE FLOOR.
 loud laugh was checked on the lipsof tha rat-hunters as they heard a ehriek which seemed to come from underneath the floor in to which they had fired. A few minutes af- terward man hurried into the store and in formed them that they had shot man. The victim of their carelessness was clerk in the cutlery establishment of J. Curley & Brothers, which was situated next door, on the corner of Beekman and Nassau streets. The base ment of Simpsons store is occupied by Curley & Brothers, in which the firm keep portion of their stock. A few minutes before the

While in that position he heard re- port and at the same instant a bullet struck him on the right side. of the back. He screamed and fell forward on his face. The other clerks in the store, hearing his cry, hast tened below and found him covered with blood. He was carried up into the store and placed in chair. Naval Surgeon Winslow happened to be passing up Beekman street, and, seeing Murtha in chair while the others famed him, went in and inquired what the trouble was Murtha raised himself and said, 'T'm shot. save me-" MT. Winslow laid the wounded man on the floor and examined him. He found that the bullet had entered the lum- bar region about two inches from the spinal column. A policeman was called and an am buIance summoned. The sufferer was con- veyed to the Chambers street Hospital. There the bullet was probed for, but could not be found. The hospital surgeon thought the wound might prove fatal, and the coroner was notified that an ante-mortem statement might be taken.

Officer Collins, of the Fourth precinct, went into Simpsons store and asked who had done the shooting. CT did, said MT. Simpson, land am sorry about it.' He was taken to the station house and locked up, while his companion, Priest, YVES allowed to go free. To a Herald reporter MT. Simpson told the story of the accident. He stated that when he saw the rat he took a twenty-two calibre Smith & Wesson revolver and loaded it. MT. Priest loaded the parlor rife with the same kind of cartridges. It was usual to use Flo bert or short cartridges in the rife, but there were no packages of the latter open. The first shot was fired by himself, and about ten min utes later the second volley was fired, both men aiming at the same spot. MT. Simpson states that after the cry of agony was heard, Priest said, "Quick, open package of the other cartridges, and we will say we were using Flobert bullets" ''No, sir," was the answer. 'Tm going to acknowledge how we did it." Simpson, since his arrest, claims that the shot fired by Priest must have been the one which wounded Murtha, as it was more likely to go straight through the floor than one fired from revolver. MT. Priest, on the other hand, positively denies having fired shot at all. He says that there were only two shots and they both came from the revolver held by Simpson.
