Mistaken for a 'Scab" and Shot.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, April 4.-Last
evening Henry Kinney. driver of a
West Washington street car, was shot
at by some one along the roadside of ID
suburban district. One ball hit him
IN the center of the back part of his

right side of the head, crossing the
line of the first ball at right angles.

the ringleaders in the strike. No at
tempt was made to rob him of his box.
His wounds, while serious, are not
thought to be fatal.
