A consultation held yesterday morn
ing by the medical men interested in
the case of Miss Birdie Lucas, who was
shot in the temple on Monday after
noon by young William Clintsman, re-
suited in the conclusion that the bullet
had not penetrated the brain, but had
shattered the frontal bone. 1t is found
impossible to exactly locate the position
OF the bullet, but the opinions of all
the medical men agree in that the
chances for the recovery of the young
lady are very good. During last night
the patient was seized at intervals with
violent vomiting, as result of the ether
administered. The wounds in the fore
head of the girl. produced by combi-
nation of pistol practice and surgery,
will, if healed by first Intention, leave
no serious Disagreement. 1t IS feared,
however. that Smuggling of the wounds
will render this impossible. Clintsman,
who did the shooting, when brought up
for examination yesterday morning, was
put in charge of Capt. Walsh, of the
West side detail, to appear again this
morning. Clintsman is a member of
the gang of juveniles who have made
themselves terror to the vicinity, and
are responsible for the destruction of
the chairs, lockers and other furniture at
the ball grounds. These fellows have been
almost as much trouble to the police as
the Rice street gang. The shooting of
Miss Lucas is but the finale of Clints-
mans propensity for indiScriminately
pointing reyolvers at his playfellows.
A short time since he received a sound
thrashing for pointing a revolver at
some lads while skating. There is no
doubt that the boy is fully as penitent
as he claims to be over the affair, yet,
as is remarked by the friends of the in
Jured girl, his sorrow will not alter the
results of his folly, whatever they may
be. Late last evening Miss Lucas was
resting easily, and conscious.
WORTHY OBJECTS OF CHARITY.
Several well disposed ladies have
taken the family of the suicide Klein in
charge. and the unfortunates will prob
ably receive better attention than would
have been the case had Klein concluded
to prolong his residence here below.
The house when entered after the trag-
edy was in Wretched condition, the re-
mains of the poison used by Klein in
his last and most worthy effort being
scattered all over the floor, while little
three-year-Oid tot was making frantic
and pitiful efforts to clean up the mess
with remnant of her scanty clothing
A GLOBE reporter inquiring of Gadbout,
the undertaken on South Robert street,
who has charge of the remains, what
disposal had been made of them, was
informed that the body had been re-
moved to the morgue and would there
await the action of Coroner Quinn
regarding its interment. A visit to
DR.. Quinn's office developed that that
gentlemen had gone out of the city and
was likely to be absent for some time.
Inquiries as to the whereabouts of Dep
uty Coroner Lewis elected a similar
reply. The body, however, was not
taken the morgue by Gadbout, and no
amount of questioning was sufficient to
secure satisfactory statement as to its
whereabouts. The true and very dis
graceful state of affairs is that the body
is still lying at Gadbout's, despite that
trary. Klein's. brother refused to
pay for the funeral. All church
denominations have refused to
allow the burial of the remains
IN their cemeteries, and if the man is
buried at all, which at present appears
doubtful. it will doubtless be in the
potter'S field. Dr.. Lewis stated yester-
day, when questioned by some ladies who
are caring for the family of the dead
man, that be was six feet under
ground which is evidence that he is
egregiously misinformed or that the
corpse objected to being planted off
hand. and has merely returned to Cad
bouts place as a matter of taste.
BUGERSON's EYES BLACKENED.
Mrs. BugerSOn, who resides on the
flats near the city limits, is having
some trouble in training her husband
in the way he should go, but will get
there just the same. About three weeks
since BugerSon received some $50 for
wood cutting, and instead of applying
the same on his lengthy ana ever-in-
creaSing grocery bill, course advocated
by his wife. he repaired to the sylvan
shades of saltwater, and invested the
money in red paint, with which he sue
cessfu1ly decorated that locality. When
he returned yesterday he had two black
eyes and other bric-a-brac from the
prison city. He is very penitent, and
has promised to saw wood and say moth
ing in the future.
