An Attempt to shoot Guiteau.
New YORK, Sept. IA Times Washing
ton special says: Another attempt was
made tonight to kill the assassin Guiteau.
There is reason to believe hat q few days
ago there was some talk among the SOL
diers detailed to guard him in regard as to
which one Of them should be chosen to
shoot at him whenever he should present
his head out Of the window OF the cell
wher5 it could be seen from the outside.
1t was decided that the work should be
done by Sergt. John A. Mason Of Company
B, Second Artillery, and he made prepara-
ton for it. This evening three wagon
loads Of soldiers left the arsenal for the
Jail to relieve the day guards. Mason was
in the front wagon, and his companions
noticed that he was fumbling with the lock
Of his gum, and was acting strangely.
Nothing was said to hima about it, however.

got out, pushed forward until he reached
the small hillock, brought his gun to his
shoulder, tool steady aim at Guiteau's
window, and shouted, ssThere he u.s." and
fired. Before the smoke cleared away the
other soldiers gathered around him.
"In heavens name" cried private Davis,
"why did you shootf"
81 wanted to kill that wretch in there"
was the reply, 'and I have been at it for
ten days. I hope I have done the work in
good STYLE"
Mason then walked towards the COM
handing officer, CAPT. McGilery, saying /:
Captain, I have tried to kill that dirty
liar in there here's my gun and bayonet;
take me in charge"
McGilery had heard the shot, but had
not dreamed Of Mason's intention. He
placed Mason in the custody Of two SOL
diers. There was much excitement about
the Jail, and the prisoners who had heard
the shot, ran to the window and shouted.
Warden Crocker and his deputy, who had
been in the Jail office, ran through the
corridors to Guiteau's cell, and found him
on his knees terror stricken. "Do they
want to murder me?" he asked. The war
den said he need have no fear. 'But / have
been shot at" said Guiteau. 81 was stand
ing at my window when one Of the soldiers
fred at me. The ball passed by my ear, went
through my coat hanging up there, and
tore in pieces the photograph Of my mother
which was In the poeket." The warden
was satisfied that the ball had not hit the
prisoners body, and be then vent outside
TO see who had fired the shot. 1t was agreed
that 1t would be best to tell Guiteau that
the shooting had been accidental. This
was told him, the explanation being that q
soldier in getting out Of the wagon had &C.
cidentally discharged his gun. It was de-
cided that Guiteau should be removed to
another cell, and he was therefore placed
In the one formerly occupied by Baystone,
who murdered his wife.

says The removal Of Sitting Bull and
his band Of Indians, numbering ITS. from
Standing Rock agency. has been accom-
plished safely. The steamer Sherman ar.
rived at II o'clock A. NJ. Sitting Bull had
been very defiant, and said he would die

nephew Of Sitting Bull made some resist
ance, and was knocked down with the butt
