IS HIS STORY TRUE?
A German Claims to Have Asked for Bread and
 Was Given Winchester Bullet

A German by the name of John Wick art went to the rooms of the county com- miSsioners at the county court house yesterday morning and reported that he had been shot and asked that he be given medical treatment.
 His story was about as follows: He said that while walking towards the city along the line of the Bessemer and Bir- mingham railroad the afternoon before he stopped at a house this side of Bes- semer and asked young lady for some thing to eat On being told that there was nothing cooked in the house he turned and walked leisurely away.
 On turning to look back he saw young man come out on the porch and. raising a Winchester rifle, fired at him several times, one of the bullets making a wound in his leg and another in the arm, so he claimed. The man said he had giv- en no one cause to fire at him, and could not imagine why he was so badly treated
 On arriving In the city, it seems, he went to Dr. Gillespy, county physician, and asked to have hls wounds dressed. The doctor examined him and found that the wound was in the mans back aud was caused by q number of bird shot
 His tale to the county commissioner, to whom he was referred by Dr. Gillespy, was rather fishy and they refused to have anything to do with him.

In Bed Room With Bullet Hole in His Fore head-His EIeyen-Year-0ld Brother
 With Him at the Time.

A terrible tragedy occurred at Bloss- burg yesterday morning. resulting in the death of an S-year-old boy.
 Whether the lads brother was un- lucky enough to have been the innocent cause of his death or 1t was the work of some fiend incarnate on the outside of the building will not be known until the matter is thoroughly sifted. ..=.
 An Age Herald reporter met Coroner Dusenberry yesterday evening as he was on his way to the train to take train for Blossburg to make an investigation or the distressing occurrence, and from him learned the following meagre facts as to it:
 Mir Thompson a white miner at Bl9ss- burg has two sons, aged and II years, respectively. While he and his wife were in room the two lads were playing in one adjoining. It seems there was a pistol in the room occupied by the boys and they were evidently playing with II:
 The sound of a gunshot was heard and almost at the same instant distressing cry from the room where the laus were Rushing into the room she found the younger lad lying on the floor dead with blood flowing from an ugly hole In ms forehead. On the floor by the side ot the corpse was the pistol with one cha in- Der and by the corpse stood the elder brother horror stricken and almost speeches. with fright.
 When asked by the almost rant ic mother as to tine cause of his brothers s death the lad said some one on the out side fired through the open window ana killed him. Whether this be true or not could not be denied, but on the dead boy face were seen powder burns ana It may ba rossihle thai in his fright the lad said what he did. ,,,,,
 The coroner seemed to think the killing was a pure accident and occurred while the boys were playing with the pistol
