HE USED A PISTOL.
Boy Shot by An Unknown Man on
0lneyville Square.
Unknown First Brandished His Weapon
In Mr.. Pohle's Store.

An unknown man went into the store
OF Charles Pohle, "a Olneyville square,
at II: 80 o'clock today and purchased a
bunch OF rareripes. He was somewhat
under the influence of liquor. He shook
the Johnston product in the face of Mr..
Pohle, who had waited upon him. Mr..
Pohle.urged upon him to be quiet and
leave the store IL he bad bought all he
wanted. The man refused and delib-
erately drew revolver on the proprietor.
AT the sight OF this Miss Minnie Pohle,
his daughter, ran out upon the street for
assistance. William ID. Mathewson, fore
man for the Union Railroad Company,
was near at hand and he responded. He
seized the man with the revolver and
threw him to the sidewalk In front OF
the door. AT this point the man tried TO
aim the revolver, which he still held, at
Mathewson. He fired before it could be
taken from him, hitting boy about IL
years OF age named Charles MeElroy, who
was standing near. The bullet was 3S
the boys leg and could be
plainly seen just under the skin on the
opposite side from where il entered. The
boy was taken to the Office of DIR. A. H..
LongfelIow for treatment.
In the meantime cries of "police' and
the urlng OF snOt nad called tOgetner
several hundred people, but not a single
policeman. Policeman Moan, who does
day duty on the square, had accompanied
town sergeant Holbrook TO Cranston,
where they had gone at 10 O'Clock to con-
vey an insane woman to the asylum.
William Tetlow and James Salisbury vol
unteered to take the infuriated man TO
the bridewell, whom Mathewson had
under subjection on the sidewalk, and
they did so TO the satisfaction OF the citi-
zens who witnessed the affair.
No one appeared who could idsntfy the
man. Some one thought his name was
Tucker, and believed he lived at Thorn
ton. but his Identity cannot be estab-
lished until the arrival of Chief of Police
Holbrook and the prisoner can be inter-
viewed at the brideweil on Plainheld
streer, where he is confined. II is thought
that the victim of the shooting is danger
ously i'll.
At the bridewell the man who did the
shooting said his name was Moral, and
tnat he liveu near the Fenner stand on
the Plainield pike.
Town Sergeant Holbrook has started
for that place TO investigate.

Budlong Isn't In Rhode Island Now

1t is reported that the Rev. Mr.. Bud
long, OF Rhode Island formerly known
as the "Champion Testimonial Writer"
Of America, is once more plying his re-
markable vocation, one or two new rem
edies having lately received contributions
from his facile pen. The number of
proprietary medicines which have saved
MIR. Budlong's life at the eleventh hour,
according to published statements,
includes very nearly all that have been at
all prominent during the last decade.
Rev. Budlong did thriving business as
a professional testimonial-give until
in an unguarded moment--he obtained
consi2nments Is of Bibles from some we'll
known publishing houses on terms and
conditions which ultimately led to his
being grabbed by the strong arm of the
law. 1t is not stated whether the rev
erend gentleman gave written endorse
ment of the holy book TO sachsof the
publishers, or that he declared 1t had
been the only means OF his salvation, but
inasmuch as he has again entered the
field, IL may be well for religious book
concerns TO see that his talents are not
wholly monopolized by advertisers OF
proprietary remedies. National Adver-
tiser.
