SHOT In THE SHOULDER.
Al EImors Wounded by Bullet Fro
Thomas Bakers Pistol.

Al Elmore Wounded by Bullet From
Thomas Bakers Pistol.
Last night, about o'clock, the neighbor-
hood of Sixth and Howard streets was
startled by the report of a pistol, and the
crowd that soon gathered could only know
of not chase by the frequent police signals
which grew fainter and fainter each mo-
ment. 1t was soon learned, however, that
the shot had taken effect in Al Elmore's lett
shoulder.
The trouble commenced night before last
in the s. Puritan" joint, on the southeast
corner Of Sixth and Howard, when Thomas
Baker. teamster. was set upon by gang
of ward-heeers and was being soundy
thraShed when William JOY stepped in and
stopped the atfray. To repay him for his
kindness Baker hunted Joy up last night
and found him at the same place. He struck
him once and knocked him against the
counter. Baker was then forced 10 leave by
superior numbers.
As he ran into the street crowd followed,
and to drive them away he turned and shot,
some say one shot. others say three. Any
how, one bullet came nearly hitting one of
the foremost of the crowd, and probably
was the same that took effect in Eimore' 5
body. Baker then ran down Harriet street
and made good his escape.
AL Elm0re was taken to pharmacy,
where his wound was dressed by DR.. KEN
borts, who pronounced it by no means seri-
ors, though 1t will prove painful. ElmOre
is the roommate, at 1856 Sixth street, OF
William JOY, the man first attacked by
Baker, and their intimacy gives shadow to
suspicion of a Iong-Standing feud.
Thomas Baker is said to have been ar,
rested several times, and has twice been
charged with assault TO murder, but his
pulp is infallible, and he is one of the
| trusted lambs. He was also member OF
the last Democratic County Committee.

When the cars arrive at the points eff trans
fer the conductors never call out TO let the

and this is not only embarrassing to stran-
gers but to city people as well, especially at
night time.

mania for new money on the theory that
there is contagfon in the much handled bills.
They seek TO keep disease away from their
family circle by excluding, to as full an ex-
tent as possible. all money that has been
in circulation. They keep a supply of new
bills of various denominations constantly on
hand, and the ladies of the household feel
that they are thus well protected against
contagoI."
Most of the new money is procured di-
rectly from the banks, but there are frequent
