A Kokomo Ruffan Dangerously Shot.


Special to the indianapolis Journal
KoKoMo, March ia seriou shooting ARRAY,
and one that will probably prove fatal, took
place in this city about midnight last night. One
James Wallace, young man who has heretofore
travelled largely on his muscle was shot through
the head, near the Panhandle depot. by some
person who as yet is unknown to the public.
The ball entered his left cheek, passed in an
angular direction through the head and lodged
back of his right ear, just below the brain. Wal
lace denies having any knowledge as to who
did the shooting, but it is the general belief
thai he knows all about the matter Wallace is
a powerful man, and very quarrelsome when
under the influence of liquor, aud he was known
to have been drinking last night. The general
supposition is that he made an assault on some
person, who shot him in self-defense. The case
will be thoroughly investigated. Wallace is in a
very critical condition. and it is thought by med
ical experts that he cannot live.

pushed roughly by her, as he did not care
