ALL FLED WHEN SHE SHoT.-Pan-
demonium reigned for a while, and
there was stampede of feminine en-
ployes and customers from the dry
goods store of l.. S. Ayres, at Indianap-
oils, Iud., Monday morning in con-
sequence of Miss Ruth Gordon, q
saleswoman, having, in fit of insanity,
fired four revolver shots at Harry Pur-
Vance, o salesman. Purviance entered
the store, and was standing talking to
Miss Gordon, when he was seen to jump
back and heard to exclaim
''For Gods sake don't shoot !"
Almost at the same instant Miss Cor
don fired four shots in rapid succession,
one passing through Purviance's
clothes, across his abdomen, one pene-
trating his side and the other two going
down into the floor, ss he grabbed her
hand and bent it down.
The employees ran screaming from
the store, trampling over each other
and making desperate efforts to escape.
The police appeared upon the scene
and placed Miss Gordon under arrest,
but she was hysterical, and had to be
put to bed. She declared that Purvi-
ance had tried to kiss her, and that she
had letter that would explain all.
At the station house she snid that she
did not want to shoot hin, but desired
to die herself, and declared that she
filled the bathtub with water Sunday
night to drown herself, but desisted
through fear that her parents would
hear her. Both parties have been en-
ployed for years at the store. Purvi.
ance is q married man, and mutual
friends take no stock in the theory that
love affair was at the bottom of the
shooting. Miss Gordon was released
on $1,000 bond.
