moved some days ago into tho back rooms on
the second floor OF the boarding house ut A.
Fast Ninth street. Just after supper had ended
at =. o'clock Saturday night there was crash
Of glass in Mr.. Treadwell's bedroom. Two la :
dies OF his family were sented in the adjoining
room. and they screamed. A bit OF lead about
half an inch in diameter had struck and shat
tereN the glass. The two women thought
somebody had fired a revolver at them. The
lead had been fired at the window from n house
in Ninth street. Mr. Trendwell had left the
boarding house. and the two ladies' drew the
curtains so that nobody could look into the
apartment. There was n second crash little
later and the women found that a pane OF
glass in another window in the bedroom had
been broken, The lead that broke this glass
was about half the siZo OF the first.
All the women In the boarding house were
frightened by this time. They ran to the win
dows and shouted requests that the supposed
revolver firing be stopped. Three other
Ieadcn missiles were fired Mt the building and
struck the back wall. Engineer Trendwell
got home after the NTH shot had been fired
and found the house In panic. lie picked up
the two pieces Of lead and hurried around to
the Mercer street station house. The Sergeant
LOOKED at the pieces Of lead. which appeared
to be scraps. not bullets. The police think
