the front steps when Boyer approached him
| from behind and dealt him a kick in the
| back Of the neck that threw him into the
| gutter.
Buck recovered himself quickly and
started in the direction OF his assailant,
when the latter drew a revolver and fired
at him. The bullet struck Buck over the
right lung, where it found lodgment. He
| staggered for an instant, and then fell in
| the street
Immediately after the shooting Boyer
| ran into the Washington House and es-
capped by the back door before the police
| arrived The patrol wagon was summoned
and Buck was taken to the Samaritan hos

unconscious. The physicians made re-

one and that he was likely to die.

AN UNWORTHY SCHEME.

II is scarcely worth while to devote
much space to the subject OF reorganiza-
ton. for so few well-informed taxpayers
favor it that there Is no serious danger
from the effort of the sensation makers.
The proposition, on its very face, is a
ridiculous thing. We are asked to give
up tn at without out which we cannot ex-
list, and we are told that we must content
ourselves with those conditions " hich we
labored unsparingly to overcome in the
organization Of the city. The existence
Of these conditions made special charter
for this city absolutely necessary. A char
ter under the general laws would no more
sait us now than it would then. 1t would
be absolutely inadequate.
The tax question has been settled.
Where, then, is there occasion for objec-
ton to our present charter? AS a matter
OF TACT, there is none. The movement
was begun by two or three persons who
seek personal advantage, regardless Of
the sacrifice entailed in a public way.
Their supporters are mainly the rifrraf Of
the city who have nothing to lose in any
event.
In view Of developments made during
the past week, THE HERALD cannot be.
lieve that any considerable element oil
business men win hesitate moment to
denounce the proposition as the outgrowth
oil disposition to job the city out Of sew
eral Thousand dollars, -concerning which
a statement will be presented next week
