Ing a pistol deliberately fired at Mrs. Gooce.
SO close was the range that her veil was burned
ana her lace nlied with powder. The
shot took effect In her right ear. and passing
ehtirely through her head, buried itself
In the len facial bones, near the surface Mrs
Goode reeled aud pitched forward As she fell

companion's cloak. On the instant Burrus
fired again, the bullet meant for Miss Walters
triking her Just In 'front.' OF the right ear and
ranging backward until lodged an Inc base of
the brain. Without . word sne dropped ro the
walk, falling hall across the BODY of Mrx
Goode. This tragic scene, which consumed bur
WAS filled with people and flooded with Tue
light OF hundred gas and electric lamps.
NARROW ESCAPE FROM LYNCHrNG
Burrus at once started on a run down Monroe
street TO Lasale, turning then into Madison
street and running eastward TO Clark where
he was stopped Dy policeman. a hundred
shouting citizens had taken up the pursuit and
burrus WAS narrowly saved from lynching be-
fore the Harrison street patrol wagon arrived
The two ladies, then Thought To oe mortAlly
wounded, were carried into neighborng drug
stores and later transferred 10 the county hos
pital In the course OF weeks. when their
wounds had sufficiently Improved. they were
removed 10 the noine OF Miss Walters, at III
paso, H., where they have since remained
until brought 10 Chicago few daysago 10 ap-

WHAT LED TO THE SHOOTING.
The difficulty between Burrus ana the women
began in 81. Paul, where they were all three
employed In the same office. Unpieasant rela-
tons, savored with scandalous misunders IN u d.
1ngs, arose between tie man, on the one hand,
and the two ladies on the other, until the lad es
were transferred Al their request from 81 Paul
10 this city. Tnis WAS In the summer OF 1855.
and u month had scarcely passed when Burrus
came TO Chicago and entered the local agency.
Thus again thrown together, the feud was 10.
