Chicago, March 28.-WiHiam L. Cliff
ford, letter carrier, was shot on the cor
ner of Clarke and Madison streets at
noon to-day, and probably fatally
wounded. The man who did the shooting
was Guy T. Olmstead, formerly substi-
tute letter carrier. The shooting was wit
messed by hundreds of people and the
intending murderer would have been
lynched on the spot if he had not been
rescued by a strong party OF police, The
first shot was fired from behind and
struck Clifford behind the ear and he fell
Olmstead then ran up close 10 his victim
and fred one shot into mis- sid and another
into his shoulder. IL is a case exactly
similar to the Memphis Freda Ward
Alice Mitchell tragedy Postmaster
Messing, in talking of the crime, said he
firmly believed 1t was one of the first
fruits of the possible escape of Prender-
CAST from the gal ows, and was due to the
disgusting attachment which Olmstead
bore to his victim.

AN OLD MAM's:oBs.avATl0Ho
BY BENZ. @. BOUNCE.

It was Christm is eve in one OF
the great cities, and through the
crowded streets, men with overcoats
buttoned close about the throat,
were hurrying along with rapid
footsteps, all intent upon escaping
the cold that hourly grew more in
tense.
There was one who did not hur-

ell aside, unnoticed in 50 vast a
throng. Only a boot black, dying
Of neglect ard silent grief! There
was 10 glad welcome awaiting him
no one TO whom his coming would
give pleasure-no cause for hurry.
And as he climed the creaky stair
way and reached his little, cheer
lees attic room above, he thought
of another Christmas eve when two
bright eyes watched for bis coming
and when two tiny arms had wound
themselves in love and sympathy
about his neck.
But BesS,, was dead. His blue
eyed, pale-faeed Bess was gone!
Only few weeks before he had
followed on behind, solitary morn
err, as her body was carried to pau
per'8 grave. He had never thought
Of Bess dying-all but her. She
was the only person in all the world
that loved him and that he loved
All the plans Of his life, stretched
out into the great years beyond
were for her comfort. 1t matter
ed little that from out the coal
sleeves, long since grown too short
his bare arms braved the bitter cold
He had only to think Of the little
sister that loved him, and thinking
Of her his heart would grow strong
er, his step more buoy ant-he coul(
stand anything for Bess. They
were not always to live in the attic
Some day, after he had become rich
they were to move into the countr.
