There was small shooting scrapc at the
alley on Thirty sixth street between Bel
mont and Union on Saturday evening at q
late hour Vim. Troll, respected young
glass worker, under the influence Of drink
shot Mike Clark, one of his friends, in the
high with a bullet from 22-caliber re-
volver. There seems to be some misundar-
standing about the whole affair Clark is
of the opinion that Troll did not know
what he was doing at the time he fired. A
Young gentleman by the name. of Mott
handled Troll pretty roughly after the shoot
ing. There is as usual a woman i'll the
case. The wounded man was examined by
DR.. Close, and the ball probed for, but as
vet has not been extracted. He is not Sc
riously hurt unless inflammation sets in.
Mott, who took hand in the affair, was
perfectly sober, and was left off on bail.
Troll was kept in the lookup Yesterday and
seems to know nothing of the shooting.
He never carried Il revolver and
has no idea how ii came in his pos
session. All the parties are good friends,
and umte-s Clark gets worse the case will be
settled satisfactorily /" ail parties. The
