LYNN, Nov 29.-Prof. w. F. Sartelle an il
lusionist at Stickneys Dime Museum. asked
somebody to shoot him last night and prom
ised to catch the bullet with his teeth After
much urging. William Flanagan consented to
do tho shooting, and at the word raised tho
rifle and fred. Prof. Sartelle threw up his
hands with q groan and fell upon the stage
floor. his life-blood gushing from terrible
wound in the neck. Most OF the spectators
shuddered at the sight of the blood, but few
applauded the clover bit OF acting. as 1t was
supposed to be. Young Flanagan, who had
fired the shot. stood with q smile upon his lips.

from between his teeth rs he had promised.
The habituGs OF the place had seen the trick
many times, but they had never seen the per-
former fall In that way. and. as the minutes
passed without response from the PROSTATE
man. they knew that something was wrong
Two or three jumped upon The stage TO inves-
tigate, and found that The Professor was dead
the awful truth. and Mortified they turned and
rushed from the room. flanagan was rooted
to the spot and made no effort to escape; The
tragedy was startling In It's attendant circum-
stances. Prof. Sartelle was performing an old
trick. He had a lead aud a paper bullet and
audience ho exchanged it. as he thought, for
the paper bullet But he was mistaken 1t was
the lead Dullot that ne rammed into the gun.
Then, with a smile upon his lips. he stepped to
the front OF the stage. and asked:
Has any gentleman in the hall the moral
courage 10 shoot me dead 2"
Nobody responded. The Professor laughed,
and assured the udience that his trick was
bullet in his teeth. and no harm could come to
him. One young man volunteered his services,
but afterward weakened.
Il really wish some gentleman would favor
me, as want to perform the trick" said tho
Professor.
Then young Flanagan stepped forward and
consented TO act
Don't aim at the ceiling" said the Professor
but aim for my mouth"
Flanagan did SO and fired Sartelle fell dead
with the ball in his lugular vein.
In view of all the facts Flanagan will probably
not be held responsible for the Professors
death; He is "a years old, and ia an employee OF
