Lanes Layout.

At 2:30 o'clock yesterday morning loud
cries followed by several pistol shots in the
vicinity Of Second street and Hennepin ave-
nue. attracted the attention of Officers Nc.
Herman, Marsh and Solberg. fastening to
the scene a young man named James Murray
was seen with the still smoking revolver in his
hand while lying in front of Rothschild's
clothing store was a man uttering loud
groans. A sleigh was procured and the
injured man and Murray taken to the station
house. Here the injured party was recognized
as painter named Richard Lane, and hasty
examination showed that he had not been
shot but had beeu struck in the eye and had
broken his leg. Lane being too drunk to make
IA clear explanation Murray volunteered to tell
how the thing occurred. 1t appears from
Murray's story that Lane entered the Boston
restaurant about 2 o'clock, and being.
slightly "under the weather" had some words
with two men who came in and finally engaged
in Il scufile, in which Murray took Lanes part,
and for which interference he now wears
frescoed eye. The men were put out and
shortly after Lane left for home. Murray
stepped out soon afterward, and hearing
scutiic on the opposite side of the street ran
across, where he saw Lane engaged in fight
with the two men who he had quarreled with.
Desiring to attract the attention of the police,
he drew his revolver and commenced firing.
This story was corroborated by Lane shortly
afterward, who said his assailants were Fahey
and Sheehan. DR.. Spaulding was called, and
on examination it was found that Lanes left
leg was broken just above the ankle. He was
removed 10 the St. Louis house, where he
boarded, and yesterday afternoon was taken to
the Cottage hospital. His injuries will con-
fine him to his bed for about two months.
Sheehan and Fahey were arrested by Sergeant
West yesterday morning, and will have an ex.
animation before Judge Bailey this morning.
Subsequently it was ascertained that Sheehan
had been shot through the feshy part of his
leg. The mystery connected with the shooting
will probably be developed at the EXAMINATION
this morning.

During the war small boy called on
me while on the Atlanta campaign, and
asked me to assist him in going into the
newspaper business. asked him how
much he required, and he modestly re-
piled, "Only one dollar, sir" gave
him $3.50, and told him that he must pay
me back when he felt able to do so. With
IN month he called and offered me the
money, which declined to take, telling
him that it would SO reduce his little
store that he could. not carry on his bust
ness successfully, but he insisted, and l
took the money back. After the lapse of

Shit for TrOfter.

Wednesday of last week the supreme court
of Wisconsin heard some expensive 'horse
talk" The case was that of James G.. Nc
Kisson VS.. James c. Reynolds and Judson G.
Sherman, and is for the possession of the
valuable trotting horse Chilly Baslider." The
case comes up on the appeal from the Wal
worth circuit, where it was eXhaustively
argued, and where the defendants were beaten.
In the evidence in the court below, it was
stated that the horse could trot in 800 and was
worth $4,000. Through some alleged sharp
practice, the horse was expelled from the Ma
tional Trotting association, and his value con-
siderably lessened in consequence. He was
then placed by McKisson in the hands of the
defendants for the purpose of reinstatement in
the association, and a nominal sale made to
them for the sum of $1,000, and a bill of sale
given. Reynolds and Sherman now claim that
the purchase was bona tide and made in good
faith, and that all parties so understood it at
the time. McKisson, however, established his
claim to the horse in the circuit court below,
and the defendants went into the supreme
court to reverse the decision. Eminent coun-
sci were employed on both sides, and the case
eXhaustively argued.

Da,.iet in the Phillips Den.

1t is written i'll a certain chapter of vol
ulne which, no doubt, was carefully perused by
every reader of the GLOBE, yesterday, that a
certain Daniel was thrown into den of lions
and came forth untouched. Sad to relate,
however, Daniel Bouland, the subject of this
chapter, unlike his namesake did not wait to
be thrown, but boldly walked into den at
213 First avenue south, kept by Mary Phillips,
and came forth touched to the amount of S25.
Yesterday morning about o'clock man
walked into the police station and with very
sad voice, announced that he had been robbed
and.desired an officer to 60 with him and get
back his bundle. Sergeant West, Officer Nc
Herman and a. GLOBE reporter
started out with the man, and were piloted to
the tenament house at 213 First avenue south
Ascending the rickety stairs to the second
floor, Bouland led the way to room reeking
with filth, which was furnished only with q
bed covered with dirty quilt. Around the
room were scattered letters and papers, which
he said, had been taken from his pockets
The noise made by moving over the bed caused
a door opposite to be opened, from which
looked out female, who presented unique
and indescribablc appearance, being lightly
attlred, and propelling herself with a pair OF
crutches. This person was highly indignant
when informed what was wanted, and plead
innocence. On entering the room, which was
even in worse condition than the other, an
old bag and pretty faced and intelligent
looking little girl about four years
old were seen lying on structure
which the female called bed. For fear Of
frightening the officers the female in the BED
had concealed her features, but on catching
glimpse of her false teeth lying on the table
Bouland said she was the one in the apartment
when he awoke. The rooms were searched,
but only S. of the amount, which
was found in the trunk belonging to
the female with the game leg. and as she
seemed to be the "boss," Officer McKiernan es
corted her to the lookup. The other female
gave her name as Dora Brown, and, as she
confessed that Mary Phillips had the money,
she was released from custody
