HIS CONDITION HOPEFUL.
Mr. shields Physicians Have Not
Yet PrObed for the Hall.


The condition of Mr.. Alfred p. SHIELD

hoped for last night. He was resting
quietly, and was perfectly rational. HIS
physicians had not removed the ball from
his head nor had they probed for II, as
IL was not deemed advisable to do so

his wound is not regarded to be necessarl-
~ fatal. Mrs SHIELD has been the only

was removed 10 the Retreat for the SICK

other persons have called, but. owing 10
Mr. Shields condition, they were neces-
sarily refused admittance.
This case IS one OF the saddest that mas
occurred In Richmond In many years MT
SHIELD had been respondent and depressed

II has been ascertained that only one
of the balls took effect, and that one

though 1t is believed that it Is lodged
somewhere at or near the base OF the
brain. There is. so far. no symptom oil
pressure upon the brain, nor resu''i,s

very good chances for the recovery OF
the young man. The other shot went into

are very hopeful that he will recover.
At O'Clock this morning Mr.. SHIELD
