About an hour after the oc- currence boy reported to an officer that while he was riding out in the I.add tract he was ordered to stop and throw up his hands by a dark-whiskertd man on d wheel. He said he pulled out, but the man overlook him and shot at him as he wheeled by, but the bullet punctured his tire, and he fell off the sidewalk. He was greatly excited.
