Pistol.

Officer Lou p. Smith Severely Wounded
by the Golden Discharge of q
Pistol.
Yesterday morning Officer Lou P. Smith
met with an accident which may prove
serious, and which will surely compel him
to lay up for some time. 1t appears that
about 8 o'clock the proprietor of a res
|taurant on East Park street, wat assaulted
by a tramp who demanded money OF him.
The gentleman naturally refused to accede
to the demand, and being somewhat OF a
staIwart physically, knocked down the
Would-be highwayman. The fellow after
being thus summarily dealt with sneaked
of, but he must have soon recovered, for a
few moments later Mr.. Bocovich, the pro-
prietor mentioned, noticed him virtually
dragging an intoxicated man up the alley
and abusing him in a shameful manner. Mr..
B.. at once started out in search of an Off
Ger aud almost Immediately found Lou P.
Smith and Officer Young, and to them he
briefly related the circumstances. At the
time the officials were standing in front OF
Cars stable, and Smith started to reach
the alley through the stable, while Young

Smith changed his pistol from his hip
pocket to that OF his o%vercoat, keeping his
han upon the trigger. In some way it vas
accidentally discharged and the bullet en-
tered the instep OF his left foot, INC came
out near the heel. The offender in the
meantime had reached the Park street en-
trance If the alley a second or two ahead
OF Young, who, feeling sure that he was the
man, called upon him to halt. The order
was disOheyed and a foot race was the re-
suit. the exciting chase being enlived by the
discharge OF the pistol OF Mr.. Young. The
fugitive was finally captured near scheurer's
store and taken to jail, when it was ascer.
famed that he was an old offender named
harry Burns. He was held for q hearing.
Officer Smith was as Don as possible re-
moved to his residence and attended by
Dr. LeAvitt. The wound is a very painful

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.

Routine Observation-Disclosures of M. l..
Holland al Special Collector.
The Board OF County Commissioners met
yesterday morning, Messrs. Hall and
Young present. Only routine business was
transacted, and that was principally the
examination and approval of accounts.
During the afternoon M. L; Holland sent in
mis- resignation as Special Supervisor to
collect county road taxes. No action has
yet been taken upon the document. Mr..
Holland gives as a reason that his duties
as Assessor occupy SO much OF his time
to perform them properly, that he
could not devote the required attention to
the duties of his special office, and that
the interests OF the public will be best sub
served by his retirement. Mr.. Holland is
an energ tic and capable officer, and it is a
matter OF regret that he has found this
step necessary.
