shooting sffair occurred in the postoffice this
morning. About half.pa 10, when the ves-
tibule Of the cffice was crowded with people,
a young girl entered, and going up behind q
man named Andrew Hay, who was leaning
on desk at the side of the room, she DELHI
erately pointed pistol st his head, the muz-
zle Of. the weapon almost touching his head,
and fred, the ball striking and glsncing. She
turned as if to leave, but Immediately turned
back and fred again, but without effect. The
man, who at that time had turned, ran away,
the girl following, pistol ia band. She was
intercepted and her pistol taken from her by
! bystander, and she was turned over to the
police. Had the ball struck the intended VIC
tim an inch lower down, it would have ended
his earthly career. AS it is, the only irjury
was slight scalp wound. The girl, whose
name ia Ella Barrows, lived in the family Of
Hay, about eight miles west of the city.
She stated in an interview that hav-
ing business in the city she was
driven in by Hay en- the 9TH inst They
home, near the residence of ex-senator Cole,
she noticed that Hay was off the road, and
called his attention to it. He replied that it
was nearer across the fields. After driving
some distance, he got out of the wagon, os-
tensibly to fix the harress, and returning he
entered by the rear end and dragged her to
the ground, when he covered her face with a
handkerchief saturated with some drug and
violated her person. He then assisted her
not to say anything, as it would ruin her
reputation. She was greatly prostrated, and
was not able to go home to her parents until
ths following Sunday, when she told the terri
bic story. A physician was consulted, who
said the girl was suffering from the effects of
ether. The girls has been at heme since in o
distressed condition. To-day she attempted
to redress her wrongs as above noted. The
sympathy OF the people is entirely with the
girl. She is respectfully connected, between
16 and IL years old, and always bore a good
character.
