son, presenting a cooked revolver at them
in turn. This is the charge made, but

found and had not been in fight or been
shot. The authorities in Bridgeport still
contend that a nan giving that name was
shot and that he came over to Wheeling,
and that they saw the wound, which but
slight one.
GAIT BENNETT received word from Mr..

employs at the circus.
