SHOT BY A ROBBER.
COWARDLY ATTACK ON A
HOTEL PROPRIETOR.
A Would-Be Burglar Enters His
Bed Chamber and Shoots Him
Through the Shoulder.

Fred Oelker. who keeps the halfway
house, seven miles from the city. on the
Dodd road, was the victim of a cow
ardly attack last night. About IL
o'clock two men drove up to the place
with buggy. One of them renamed
on the outside while the other entered
the place through the rear door of the
kitchen and made his way to the room
where the proprietor was asleep.
Oelker was awakened by the strangers
entrance and called him, asking what
he wanted.
''1f you want anything. why don't you
come up like man?" said Oelker.
''That's what l will" replied the
nocturnal visitor. and, pulling a re-
volver. fired point blank at the man
who was lying in bed. The ball
struck Oelksr in the left shoulder
and went clear through. After the shot
the coward ran out of the house and,
entering the buggy, drove rapidly away.
The two made their way towards the
city, coming in over the high bridge.
They were followed by two travelling
men. who reported the affair to the
Ducas street station.
The assailapt is described as quite a
young man, about five feet tall and
wearing black clothes. There was
absolutely no motive for the shooting
except'a plain attempt Of robbery.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3O.-There was
some change today in the talk about the
trouble in the William K. Vanderbilt
family. Mr.. Vanderbilt's friends have
refrained from saying much so far, but
they did not hesitate to say today that
when the truth was known he would
be amply vindicated. So far as
can be learned from statements
made to persons in the confidence of
the Vanderbilt family, their sympathies
are all with the husband. They hope
the matter will be settled out of court.
1t is not a question of money. Mr.. Van
derbllt is willing, 1t is said, to give his
wife all the money she wants,
but insists upon retaining charge
of the children. Cornelius
Vanderbilt, as the oldest son of the late
William H., Is assumed to be the head
of the family. He watched with almost
perennial care the wanderings of Will

trouble iu the Vanderbilt family became

powerless to prevent 1t. Before

defense. Although they have their

parole they are closely watched, and
feel this and other insults keenly.
They look to their governments
for aid. Eight American prisoners are
making common cause. They say they
pity the poor natives who have nobody
to fight for their rights, but will be tried
by military law. If the foreign prison
ers are sentenced they will incur a
