GRAFTON, June 24.-This morning as
George A. Dunnington was on his way
from the telegraph office to his hotel about
l o'clock. de was hailed by q man who
came out of the alley between Beverlin's
furniture store and 7. E. Coles, as Dun
nington turned around the man presented a
revolver to his face, but before he could
FIRE Dunnington knocked his hand down
and the pistol going off the bullet took effect
in the Aeshy part Of the leg just below the
knee. Dunniugton's cries soon brought
Captain Fetro Of the police force and others
to the scene who helped the wounded man
to his room and summoned q physi-
clan. The wound is not dangerous
one, being made by 22-cslibre revolver
which was found by the police few yards
down the alley. Dunnington failed to rec
ognize his assailant The theory generally
believed here is, that Dunnington was mis-
taken for Burkett, the manager of the rink,
as they look very much alike,
and this evening were dressed
precisely alike. Burkett has been threaten
cd by some rough young men, whom he had
arrested for kicking up row iu his rink
on Monday night. Nobody believes here that
the anonymous letter had anything to do
with the Shooting. No arrests have as yet
been made, but the police are shadowing
