who was standing in front Of the store,
was just missed by a bullet. DR.. 7. E.
Wilson attended the wounded man, and
was an eyewitness Of the shooting. He
says there were but few people about,
and much less excuse for the shooting
than last night, when a large crowd at
the same place created quite a disturb
ance. An ambulance took the New York
er to the st. Mary's Hospital, and
Mitchell went to his home.
