MYSTERIOUS SHooTINe.-W Cooksley
an employee of the firm of Salisbury & Sons,
while sleeping in room near the Office Of
their wood yard on H, between Sixth and
Seventh streets was shot on Friday night by
his own pistol in a very mysterious manner.
Another gentleman sleepingin the office heard
the report Of pistol in the direction of the
place where Cooksley was sleeping, and
called to him, waking him up to know what
the shooting meant. Cooksley, irritated at
being woke up, answered that he did not
know anything about it, but feeling a sting
ing sensation in his arm, lit his lamp, and
found that he had been shot through the
muscle of the arm above the elbow, and upon
examination ascertained that it was from his
own pistol, which he kept under his pillow.
The mystery as to the manner in which the
pistol discharged itself with no one in the
roOrr1 lint binasalf and ba 60 Joe,,Ix-
in the arms of Morpheus as not to hear the
report, is a subject CT profound study to
Cooksley, and more inexplicab,e than the
fifteen puzzle.
