sand and gravel was hauled on the

last evening about o'clock a small
boy named John Elros, a son Of John
EIgos, who lives an McCalloch street, in
the Eighth ward, was shot in the right
side of the abdomen, not far from the
pit Of tho stomach. The wound lie
small ono, apparently made by an air
gun, II looks as II It had been made By
a round shot, about No, . in sizo, but
proved to bs by 80 eaIlbeF ball,
The boy was taken to the office OF DR..
stalhers, on Thirly.sixth street, whore
his wound was probOl and dressed by
tho Doctor The ball took u crooked
course, apparently going In about four
inches in its winding way. but not over
two inchps deep from the surface. AZ
tho lad Is q pretty fleshY boy, the
wound is not apt to prove dangerous,
though painful. Tho hoy is ten years
old, and stood the operation without
much luss.
Tue boys story was worry peculiar lilo
raid he aud Harry Robert, lad oil
about the same age, wore sitting on the
grouud In the orchard near the schmul-
bach brewery, when the ahot struck
him. Neither boy heard any sound,
nor did they SEQ anybody have gun or
pistol, Tho only other persons nORr
were some boya playing cards not far
away, but mono Of them fred any shot.
ilo thought ths shot that hurt him was
from revolver, hut would not give any
reason for thinking 20, except that
Harry Kbbert showed him ''the tin
thing tho shot came out OF" Harry
took him home. and his mother took
hin to tho doctors.
0Iher boys said TINT boy In tho party
with John had an air gun, and that
Johns brother was with him, but he de-
ciared there was nobody there but him
SELF and Harry.
Tho story no first told, the boy stuck
10, repeating it to the doctor, his
mother, the reporters aud the police.
Lieut.. Ingram had his suspicions
aroused, however and after tho boy had
gone home he won't TO the house, aud by
dint Of hard pumping succeeded in
getting an euilrelY different and no
doubt the true story.
Tho boys said John, hii brother
Nike and several others were NJ on tho
hill when John found revolver. lilo
handed 1t to Mike, aud whlo thu latter
was examining it, it fell, striking on u
stone, aud was discharged, the ball
striking John as described. Tue
wound had drawn up so aG TO look
much smaller than QUO would imagine
Il could.
The boys sold tho pistol to another
boy for quarter. Lieut.. Ingram got
it. Hisn chcap thing with bnrrot
that looks like tin, which accounts for
Johns remark about "the tin thing"
Later 1t waS found that there was still
more to tho story. explaining the boys
reluctance to telling the truth. They
had taken tho revolver to the place
where John found II, having fret stolen
1t from cupboard in the house Of q
uelghbor named Marsh,
The story was circulated that 1t was
another case OF fatal shooting like that
Of Jacob Baumberg, but this fortunate.
~ turned out 10 bo untrue Not the
slightest clue was ever found as to who
fired that fatal shot

1T SURELY COMES,
The Way Of the Traussressor Is
Hard,

The Way Of the Trausgressor Is
Hard.
= In court records are found more sim
gular histories Of the detection Of crime
than any invented by Poe. SO few
murderers have escaped, and such TIL
hes have led to the conviction of such
criminals, that the old belief Is contin-
ually emphasized that a special mes
senger Of Gods vengeance pursues the
man whose hands are wet with his
brothers blood.
A marked instance Of this kind &C.
Cured in Philadelphia during the eA-
hibition Of 1915. A young German
named Strauss, from Frankfort, COM
ing to this country to settle, became In
innate while on shipboard with Prus-
sian who had lived in America for sew
eral years. He told him every detail OF
his past history, explained his plans
for the future, and conflded to him the
fact that he had large sum of money
with him, and a reserve In his fathers
keeping, to be sent to him on demand.
The men went to Philadelphia and
lodged in a huge building near the
Fair, holding two thousand people,
where rooms were rented for the night
to all applicants and no records Kept
Of their names.
The next day the Prussian started for
Tn {l,n
one had known the men or noticed that
while two had engaged q room, but one
went away.
Several weeks later Strauss's father
received letter, apparently from his
son, asking for the money he held for
him. The draft was sent and cashed.
The murderer felt himself secure. lie
undoubtedly had read in the Philadel'
phia papers that the body Of man
had been found in the Schuylkill, too
long dead for Identification. Who could
give this dead man q name among the
thousands Of strangers who had come
and gone, or pick out Callrornlah
ranchman as his murderer!
There was no name on the dead mans
clothing. But on the cuffs and collar
of his shirt was a curious wreath OF
blue embroidery. 1t was shown by the
police to the shirt-makers Of the city.
One, a German, declared that o manu-
facturer il Frankfort was the only
shirt-maker who used this peculiar EN-
| broidery.
An account Of the matter was pub
lished in Frankfort The suspicious OF
Strauss's family were aroused. A. de-
coy letter, enclosing another draft, was
sent to the address given by the Prus'
sian. He tried to cash it, was arrested
tried and found guilty.
All human experience shows that
"the way Of the transgressOr Is hard.
Law, order, humanity-God Himself
fight against him, and sooner or later
his hour Of condemnation and OF pen
| atty comes.
