One night last week DR.. G.. N.
Wood, the well known physician and
crack pistol shot OF Silver City, heard
a noise in the store below his room
and went out to investigate. When
he got in the hallway the light from a
dark lantern at the foot OF the stairs
was flashed in his eyes. lie lmmedi-
ately knew that Silver City's pet burg
lar was in the grasp. Before starting
on bis trip of investigation he had
picked up a sixshooter from the table.
His first thought on seeing the light
was to kin the man, but it immedi-
ately occurred to him that if he shot
the man in the leg he would have the
fun of dressing the wound and might
make IN excuse for cutting it off.
This would be better than killing half
a dozen burglars. lie turned the gun
loose and looked to see the man drop.
He did not drop but skipped. A sub
sequent examination of the hallway
showed the doctor that he had hit the
door frame over the burglars head.
On examining the pistol he found it

the Office by mistake. The noise Of
the gun had Weakened several people
and the alarm was general. On a
window casing was found a cold chisel
marked I'D. Potter which immedi-

the street and as soon as the chisel
vas found started for Potter's house,
and found he was not at home. He
waited and Potter soon came in,
thoroughly out of breath. He was ar
rested and caught trying TO hide some
money which was found to consist of
a Mexican dollar and some change.
It was found that a Mexican dollar
had been stolen from the store that
night. Potter was locked up and held
for examination. The Silver City pa
pers think it is strong evidence Of his
guilt THAI Potter has been living in
town for some months doing nothing
for a living. If he car be convicted
on this there are a great many more
men in the town that ought to be
sent mp. Some time ago Potter was
IN Clifton aud was accused Of stealing
a pocket book containing four or i've
hundred dollars. and some diamonds
valued at about three hundred dol
lars. The pocket book was in the
dressing Don of a variety actress at
the Coronado theater, the actress
swore she left the pocketbook on the
table and went out Of the room for a
moment, and on coming back saw
Potter came out Of the room and
