Constable Charles Hart Shot in the
Groin by Adolf Case.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
CONNERSVILLE, Ind, Sept ia
shooting ARRAY, which will probably end
in murder, occurred at Waterloo, about
five miles northeast of this city, at o'clock
this morning. Adolph Case was compelled
to leave home some time ago, being
charged with horse stealing. He returned
at an early hour this morning. and, after
sneaking around his father-in-law's home,
saw Charles Stevens in the vicinity and ac-
cused him of undue intimacy with his wife.
quarrel ensued, during which Case drew
a revolver with the avowed intention of
killing Stevens. AT this juncture Con-
stable Charles Hart appeared with a war
rant charging Case with horse stealing,
and commanded him no surrender. Case
turned his revolver on Hart, but the weap-
on missed fire and the men grappled. Case
finally broke away and shot Hart in the
groin and made his escape but is being
followed by a posse with couple of blood
hounds. Harris wound IS not necessarily
fatal, but he has lost much blood that
his condition is precarious. He is highly
respected citizen.
