serious trouble. For a number OF years

is said TO him and the small boys have
long ueen aware os this and they nave
made life a burden to him. AT 6:4o
o'clock last night he was going along

The gun was Springfield old style one
and there was some powder in IT, When
near the corner of Nolan street ana
Gladstone avenue, boy named Charles
O'keilly, whose home is al 22 Bath
street, began shouting at Kehoe and the
latter at once got very angry. Inc poy
too, became little scared and turned
around the corner of Nolan street and ran
at a rapid rate. Mr. kehoe discharged
the rifle, but the boy In the meanwhile
had jumped fence that could not have
been more conveniently placed.had IL Deeh
built for Just such an occasion.
A. o. MacKee, who saw the accident
says the boy was over so feet away from
Kehoe when the latter fired. Mr.. Mackee
went to Mr.. kehoe and teek the gunaKaY
from him and took charge OF the man ana
gun until officer Blackman who heard the
noise made by the rifle, arrived on the
scene. Mr.. kehoe was taken to the sta
tion and arraigned this morning on the
charge of assault with dangerous wea-
pom. lie told the police he hred over
the lad head to scare him.
When the affair became known many OF

row over the affair and saio that while he
had been in feeble ment condition Tor
some time they do not think he meant to
hurt the boy for there was never any
