ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
Ed Duffy Badly Injured Last Night by Dan
Cndy with DnTy's Own Pistol.

A<A Duhg LUSt NlEuU Dy DIn
Cady with DuTy's Own Pistol.
A reckless or careless man at the butt
end OF pistol put 4 bullet into an
other mans face early this morning
Apparently it was an accident, and tho
man who did the shooting seems very
sorry thatit happened.
Ed Duffy, the ex-policeman, had
about ms narrow an escape from, sudden
death, this morning, as it ever falls to
the lot OF any man to have and live to
tell about. Duffy and Dan Cady were
talking together in the Arlington sa-
loon, at tho southwest corner OF
Chaplino and Sixteenth streets, and
Cady, who seems TO be 4 joking sort OF
an individual, got behind Duffy aud
took Dully's revolver out Of his hip
pocket. =
"Give me your money, Ed" said 1.-THE
joker, pointing the pistol directly at the
face OF his friend, who was standing
about three feet away.
Duffy laughed and said something
about not having any money, when,
bang went the pistol, end Duffy fell
forward on his face on the floor.
Frank Siosser and Charley Baird, who
were in the saloon, rushed forward and
lifted Duffy upon chair. When asked
if he was dead he replied that he was
worth two dead men yet, but imme-
diately became unconscious.
Will Shipley tho barkeeper, was go
ing to telephone over to police head
quarters, when Cady volunteered to 20
over and tell about it. Hc started, but
met Policeman Wilkie OIL the way, and
brought him back to tho saloon.
When the officer arrived Duffy was
pale rs death, and looked for all the
world like a dead man. Cold water
was applied to his head and he re-
gained his senses in about ton minutes.
His first words were that Cady had
shot him accidentally.
Duffy was a sight. Where hc had
fallen on the floor a pool OF blood lay
coasulating, fully n pint having been
shed. His face was covered with blood
and his right cheek was swollen to an
enormous size Tho bullet had entered
tho lip and had remained in the cheek,
apparently.
In the meantime Cadyha been placed
in the lookup by Officer Wilkie, and
DR.. Charles NJ. Frisscll telephoned for.
BY the time the physician arrived,
Duffy's face had been washed and hewas
pretty clipper and talked about going
to work tonight. The wound was
probed, and the bullet located about
four and a half inches back in tho
check, right at tho angle OF
tho jaw bcne. 1t is in no.
sition where it will not
be inconvenient, and Duffy. was told to
let it stay there and he could have it
cut out after, the soreness in the jaw
had subsided.
1t was q very narrow escape. An
inch and half higher and
Duffy would not have lived to
tell the tale. The bullet was
from a 30 calibre Hopkins & Allen re-
volver, and simply passed along through
the cheek, without tearing either the
inside or outside surface.
a charge OF shooting with intent to
kill was lodged against Cady. and he
may provo before n justice that it was
an accidental shot, ~

SHARK AND NUSHKA
Winners Respectively of the
Wildwood Regatta for Shops
and Cats.
The Start in Squally Breeze
and the Finish in
Zephyr.

Everything combined yesterday after
noon to make the first annual Wildwood
free-for-all at White Bear lake a COM
plete success. The day was perfect,
bright and clear. the wind strong from
the southeast, and the entries numer-
Gus. though some of the boats were I'M
able to enter from lack of crews.
When the preparatory gun was fired
there were about twenty-five boats lying
at the Wildwood piers, but at the start
ing signal but seventeen crossed the
line in the two classes-nine in the first
class and eight in the second. The start
ing gun for sloops was fired at 4 o'clock,
and Shark crossed first, Fortuna close
second, the others struggling along
within the time allowed-fve minutes.
The run to the first stake boat. off
the peninsula, was made with
rush dead before the wind. Before
the buoy was reached Shark had i'll
creased her lead and Manitou had
passed Wapsie and gained fourth place.
Valkyrie, Storm King and Hornet and
Kitten in the rear. On the reach for buoy
number two Wapsie shook out her reefs
and began to gain, and after turning
the second buoy the yachts had taken
positions which were not afterwards
materially changed during the race,
Shark being far IN the lead, Osito sec
ond, Wapsie third, Fortuna fourth and
Manitou fifth. Hornet and Storm King
gave up in despair, leaving Valkyrie
and Kitten to bring up the rear. After
completing the first run over the
course the wind began to 90 down
and the lighter boats drew ahead. Shark
gaining a long lead. and Osito and
Wapsie fighting for second place. The
finish was in light breeze in the lee of
enough to be exciting TO Onlookers.
Shark used her new steel centerboard
for the first time, and sailed like
witch. The report of the judges. r. B.
c. Bement and Louis NJ. Hastings. gives
Shark first place and OSitO second. In
the cat race the same old story was told.
Nushka taking rapidly increasing lead
and sailing like man-Of-war. although
the white-winged Albatross hung TO her
like a leech. Nancy Hanks fought like
a major for last place and succeeded in
taking it, although it looked for time
as though Aurelia would be able to
wrest from her her laurels. NuShka got
first place among the cats, with Alba
tross good second. The prizes offered
by the Wildwood company were very
handsome and were greatly admired.
The first prizes were two beautiful sill
yer cups, appropriately engraved. from
the workshops of l.. w. Arnold d Co. ::
and the second prizes were two hand
