Granger Shot at the Eyes.

One of these willing story-tellers told
an interesting account Of queer ad-
venture which happened to Detectives
Mccormick and Granger, who were at
tached to the Central Station at the
time the notorious Bill Allen, the ne
gro murderer, escaped. The detective
received word that Bill Allen was hid
ing in West Side barn. Both Of them
started for the place, and when they
arrived there they were told the muir.
derer could be found in the hayloft
Granger, who was a single man, vol
unteered to go up first.
"You stay down here" he said to Nc
Cormick, because you have family
and have not"
He made his way to the hayloft, and
In the dark he caught a sight Of two
eyes, which he supposed were the MUIR
derer's.
"Bill Allen" he yelled, 81 don't want
to take any chances with you; II you
don't give yourself up will shoot, and
shoot to kill"
The eyes stared at Granger for a
second, then suddenly he saw them
move, and then they leaped to another
corner But Bill Allen did not open his
mouth. There was the same stare and
the cleaning eye, but not sound.
The detective knew the negrO was a
desperate man. He again asked for q
surrender, and receiving no reply fired.
To his surprise the eyes disappeared.
but there was no cry Of pain. He made
his way slowly to the place where he
had seen the eyes and then lit match.
Imagine his surprise when instead of
the murderer he found a cat In the last
throes Of death. He had hit the animal
square between the eyes. His partner,
Mccormick, came up just at Granger
pulled the cat out of the haystack.
Granger bought the drinks that day.
