Mxsteriona Shootin~

st. Paul, June 24.-Will ]. Doran, son
of the mayor, and Frank II. Dayton
had a miraculous escape from being
shot yesterday when bullet came
crashing through the plate glass win
dow in the front of Mayor Doran's
fuel office, passed right between them,
though they were not more than a
foot apart, struck the safe, glanced
around behind Dayton and landed in a
cuspidor on the opposite side. For Il
moment Mr.. Doran thought he was
shot, for piece of the shattered glass
struck him with such force on the hip
that it seemed as If q bullet had pen
etrated his thigh. When lie put down
his hand and found no blood he felt
greatly relieved. Whence the bullet
came remains a mystery.

TREY ARE EIATCHED.
Corbett and Sharkeey Will Fight to
Finish

n Finish
San Francisco, June 27. James J.
Corbett and E. ]. Lynch, Sharkey's
hacker, met to-day and negotiated for
a fight TO finish for $4,000 and the
La est purse offered by any club.
Sharkey was not present, and the
agreement was not signed to-day, but
there will be another meeting to-mor-
row. when the arrangements will be
completed. One of the stipulations al
ready agreed on is that the fight must
take place within six months.
Sh rkey is the ideal Of the sporting
world to-day, and the most extrava-
cant predictions as to his future are
made. Sharkey bears his honors mod
estly. He received a challenge from
Maher to-day for a contest for $1,000
a side. Sharkey says, however that
he will make no other plans until his
meeting with Corbett The only mark
of punishment which Sharkey bears is
a black eye, acquired during break
away. In regard to an agreement with
Corbett, Sharkey says:
s'Of course, Corbett would fight diff
ferently in a fight to a finish. He
would not do any in-fighting, but
neither would l. I would be sure
when / went to hit. / believe / can
put Corbett out in ten rounds. Any
way l want him to fight me for $1O,
0O0." Corbett in an interview to-day
claimed he was not badly punished,
saying that his only marks were ac
quired when he fell on the f1oor after a
clinch.
Champion Jim climbed down last
night from his pedestal of pugilistic
greatness, and at the same time husky
Tom Sharkey, who was eight months
ago a mere blue jacket at the Mare
Island navy yard, mounted to the top
notch in the sporting calendar. Ten
thousand people saw the sailor give
and take blows with Corbett for twelve
minutes, and at the eD 4 of the fight
they saw an indicated worlds cham
pion hanging around his opponents
neck, weak, listless, painting and lean
ing against the ropes to prevent him
self from falling. AS it was the fight
was declared a drew. Had it lasted a
few minutes more there might have
been a dIiferent story to tell-a story
hat woulu make pugilistic history.
There are in San Francisco to-day
and their number is legion-men who
say that twelve more minutes of fight
ing last night would have made a new
worlds champion. Corbett went into
the ring smiling and confident. He
came out of it trembling and crest
fallen He had not only failed to stop
/ the sailor i'll four ounds, rs he and his
thousands of admirers confidently ex-
pected he would. but he narrowly es-
capped being q whipped man.

Cody Arrested Again.

St Paul, June 24.-To-day Deputy
Sheriffs Bates and Dash of st. Louis
county passed through the city on
their way to Saltwater where they re-
arrested Samuel F. Cody, accused of
forgery. Cody was sentenced to the

supreme court held that the indict-
ment on which he was tried did not
state a sufficient cause for action, and
he was accordingly ordered to be re-
leased. Now County Attorney Arbury
of Duluth intends to have him rein
dicted before the next grand jury.

TALKED WITH THE DOCTOR.
Kelly. the WyOming Murderer,
Shoxxs Sinns of XNAnlening

Kelly, the Wyoming Murderer,
shows Signs OF Weakening.
saltwater. June %. - DR.. Burnside
Foster of ST. Paul came over to Still
water to see and identify the two
murderers of Hayes and Paul at wv
oming. The doctor, his head still
showing the bruises from bis sanguln-
airy encounter, seated himself in the
sheriff's office at the county Jail, and
George Kelly, the elder and more
hardened outlaw, was first called i'll.
He was subjected to a most rigid eX-
animation, and the doctor was con-
vinced that he was one of the despe-
radoeS. At the time of the murder
Kelly's face was disguised by BAN
danna handkerchief of peculiar pat
tern. One was found in his pocket
when captured and was fully identi-
fed by DR.. Foster. During the in
terview Kelly maintained a stubborn
silence when questioned concerning
the crime or else would answer:
'It would not do me any good to say
anything about it; you would not II
you were in my place, would your
Dr. Foster then said: ''Kelly, if you
want to say anything to me in private
/ assure you it will remain secret with
me-"
After thinking this over for few
minutes the prisoner answered: "Just
step this way for a minute"
A private conversation ensued for
five minutes or more, Kelly calling the
doctor back to parting word. Just
what this conversation was no one
but the doctor and Kelly knows, but
DR.. Foster remarked afterward that
Kelly was breaking down under the
shadow of his terrible crime.
James Cunningham, alias Arthur
Johnson, the younger outlaw, who
seemed to have played a minor part
in the tragedy, talked freely and in
effect the same as yesterday. DR..
Foster confirmed his statement that
he was outside the building at the
time and took no part in the shooting.
Kelly is evidently the man who shot
Hayes and Paul.

WILD WEST CONVENTION.
White Haired Chairman Showed the
Boys He Would Have Order.

White-Haired Chairman Showed the
Boys He Would Have Order.
A story comes from the west coast
to the effect that a meeting of the
Washington lumbermen was held the
other day at Tacoma. After the crowd
had all assembled in the convention
hall and it was time for the gathering
to come to order, Frank B. Cole moved
that Emory Siwash White be made
chairman of the meeting, motion
which was unanimously agreed to by
all present. Emory took the chair with
all the dignity of Thomas B. Reed,
and the ball opened. Motions came
thick and fast. Everybody tried to
talk at once, Beckman and Cole not
being the quietest people at the meet
ing, until finally there was such a hub
bub that some old-timer who was not
accustomed to such things remarked,
so as to be heard, that che thought it
was time to put stop to such boys
play"
II l. it! maybe you think because
my hair is white that I'm kid and
can't keep ORDER" shouted Emory as
he jumped upon the speakers table,
grabbed his chair and began pounding
for silence so effectively that he soon
got it. Cole, Beckman and a few 9th
ers silently withdrew from the gather
ing, and Chairman Emory Siwash
White had no more trouble after that
mississippi Valley Lumberman.

Hope for Sentinel.

st. Paul, June 24.-Paul Scheffner,
shot by his father, was reported much
better to-day at the city hospital. The
symptoms of pneumonia that had
caused anxiety Sunday, had almost
disappeared. Paul was able to receive
nourishment and was suffering much
less pain. The bullet was apparently
lodged in the left lung, where it is
apt to become encysted. The young
mans surgeons have, therefore, much
hope that he will recover.

Minneapolis, June 25.-John Gibson,
SO8 Third avenue north, and Paul
Vinton, 300 Aldrich avenue north,
aged fourteen years each, left home
Monday afternoon, saying that they
were going swimming at Cedar lake.
The boys had not returned this morn
ing, and it is feared that both were
drowned. Neither had ever manifest
ed desire to run away, and their
parents have little hope Of seeing them
alive again.

no serious trouble is anticipated. it is

II is possible that remonstrance OF q
