MILWAUKEE, Feb. 5.--Henry Midman, a
fourteen year old boy, of 226 Pearson
street, came very near enacting a tragic
part this noon. At about II o'clock a
passerby heard four loud shots in quick
succession followed by the lusty screams of
female. A moment after the figure of
woman flew out of the house at the above
number, and ran to the residence of De-
tective Struebag only short distance.
Finding that officer at dinner she
asked his aid, and told her
story. The boy was her stepson. He had
barricaded himself in the front room and
threatened to kill her, or any one else who
should enter the room. She paid no at
tention to his buster, but went about her
work. In few minutes she heard the
shots and ran out for the officer. Detec-
tive Struebag hastily ran to the house and
found the door to the room still locked.
He ordered it open in the name of the law,
but the youth needed not. The door
yielded to a vigorous shoulder shove, ana
no sooner had the officer gained
the interior than he found huge revolver
thrust into his face with the warning:
Another step and you're a dead man."
| PayiAg no attention to this Struebag, by
quick movement, simultaneously struck
the weapon aside and slapped the boy in
the face. He was then victor and the war
like young fellow was placed under arrest.
| In the room was quart bottle, which con-
tanned but one drink of whisky. The boy
pointed to it and hiccuppsd that it was
| full and he drank the contents. This
was Immediately recognized as the
cause Of the trouble. The revolver was
q huge, 3S-oslibsr Colt, and belonged to
the youths brother. He had broken into
his trunk and taken it. The four shots
fred took effect in the wall which separated
the drunken boy from his step-mother.
Had they hit the door, the chances are the
woman would have been killed. The boys
father il q shoemaker. The young iend
was locked up at the central station.
