streets mentioned last evening, ana had
four shots fired at him at short range for
his pains.
Owing to the excitement under which
the shooter was laboring only one of the
bullets took effect. 1t plowed a furrow
along the size of Grogans head, but
glanced off without doing any serious
damage.
Grogan had been the terror of the neigh
borhood of Ninth and Franklin streets for
long time on account of his habit of get
ting drunk and abusing every one who got
in his way. He had cleaned out the saloon
on one or two occasions before, and been
warned by Stanley that if he attempted to
repeat the operation he would get hurt.
He had been on spree for several days
past and wound up in SANKEY'S place with
the avowed intention OF throwing the pro-
prietor and his belongings into the street.
Stanley stood fusillade of dishes ana other
movables for few seconds and then drew
his revolver and started to shoot. After
GrOgan had fallen the shooter threw his
revolver behind the bar and ran out OF the
place and over TO Eighth and Washington
streets, where he met Policeman Hines
ana surrendered himself
GrOgan was taken TO the Receiving Hos
pital, where the wound in his head was
dressed, While Stanley was locked up in the
City Prison on a charge of assault.

Says He Is Sane.
Walter Lambert, the defaulting police
clerk, who has been on trial for the pur-
pose of ascertalning whether he was sane
or insane, now firmly states that he is
sane. he claims TO have said so all along,

proposition. Nevertheless, he seemed per-
feetly willing to allow all the testimony to
90 IN regarding bis queer actions. He
now fully recognizes that it Will take
hard fight to clear him.
1t is thought by some of his friends that
an attempt will be made TO prove that he
was insane al the time he committed the
theft, as that is about the cniy available
plea remaining. a plea might be entered
on the ground that Lambert took no

given to the clerk of the police court in
trust.
