FIRED AT BICKFORD.
Two Revolver Shots Which Made a
Stir in Kennebunk.
DIR. HALEY SAYS YOUNG BICKFORD
STRUCK HIM.


Bickford Ran Into a Stable and the
Hostler Cooled His Pursuer's Ire-Now
Haley Has Fallen Back on the Law and
Charges Bickford with Assault and
Battery-The Trouble an Old One.
BIDDEFoRD, October 25.-The Journal
this evening says a sensational episode,
in which pistol and two we'll known
citizens figured occurred at Kennebunk
last night.
DR.. John G. Haley, we'll known Ken
nebunk druggist, was the man who used
the pistol, and William Bickford, anoth-
er equally we'll known Kennebunk young
man, was the one at whom the doctor di-
rected acouple of bullets, which, fortu-
nately for both himself and Bickford,
missed their mark. 1t is reported that
the trouble between the two men is one
of long standing, arising from Bick-
ford's objections to Haleys attentions to
his sister. Last night at about 8 o'clock
Bickford met Haley in front of the Mou-
sam House. AS far as the Journal could
learn there were no witnesses as to what
took place, but Haley alleges that Bick-
ford struck him one or more blows in the
head with his fist. Haley pulled pis-
tol, seeing which Bickford started to
run.
Haley Fired Twice
as he started in pursuit, but neither bull
let hit Bickford, who finally escaped by
running into the stable of the Mousam
House.
A hostler at this stable says that he
and another man were engaged in hitch
ing up a team in the stable when they
heard the pistol shots. A moment later
some one came along on the run and
shot past them into the stable, which
was dark and disappeared in the back
part of the building. In another mo-
ment DIR. Haley also came up to the sta
BILE door on the run with pistol in his
hand pointed at the hostler. The latter
but the doctor recognized him and did
not fire at him, but asked excitedly:
did Will Bickford just run into this
stable?'
The hostler replied that he did not
know whether he did or not and suggest
ed to the doctor that he was going too
far when he ran around in the dark
Pointing a Pistol at People.
The doctor answered that Bickford
had hit him in the back of the head and
again asked if he was in the stable.
The hostler answered that some one
had run past him into the dark, but
would not say whether it was Bickford
or not.
DR.. Haley started to &c into the stable,
but the hostler labored with him with
such good success that he gave up fur
ther pursuit of Biclzford, put up his pis-
tol and returned to the street.
This afternoon DR.. Haley came to Bid
deford, told Judge Cram his story and
warrant for assault and battery was is
sued by the court against Bickford and
given to City Marshal Tarbox to serve.
The witnesses named in the warrant are
William Graves, Warren Greene, Alvin
Yeaton and Frank Goodwin.
It is understood that Bickford will
make the use of the pistol grounds for
legal action against Haley.

For tonight the long talked of and

to which the beauty and fashion and wit

accomplished fact. The spacious Ala

The dancing and the music,

a scene such as Bath has never seen be-

dreamed of. 1t is a spectacle worth 60

London Papers on the Death of the Presi
dents Wife.
LONDON, October 25.-The Times
says: "The death of Mrs. Harrison is an
event of more than ordinary Importance
inasmuch as her husbands success may,
in very large degree, be ascribed to
her. Wide in culture, catholic in her
tastes and ideas, she broadened her wide
circle of friends with advancing years.
Her death will cause genuine and wide
spread SORROW
The Graphic, in condoling with Presi-
dent Harrison, says: 1--WE think his sue
cess is partly due to his wife's counsel
and inspiration. Her death comes at a
peculiarly cruel moment
The Chronicle says: every great
sympathy with President Harrison will
be felt everywhere. Mrs. Harrison was
the counterpart of her husband, whose
private character is admired and re-
spected even by his political enemies"
The News eulogies the deceased and
praises her courage in going to Washing
ton when she knew her illness was fatal,
adding ''She had won the regard of the
American nation by her worth of char
acter and devotion to her husband"
