A NARROW ESCAPE.
Chic Officer Lawless Taken for
Burglar by His Wife, Who Draws
"A Revolver on Him

ALAMEDA, CAL, May 15.-Chief Off,
GER Lawless of the steamer Australia, ho
is a resident OF this city, had narrow
escape from being shot by his wife in
mistake for burglar recently. He came
home Unexpectedly late at night, his
vessel having got into port in the after
noon, but was unable to rouse any
one by ringing the bell aud concluded
that no one was in the house. Finally he
borrowed lantern from neigh Dor and
after some search found window that
was unlocked and so entered the house.
Going to his room, he found the door
locked, and, putting his shoulder to it,
burst it open. No sooner was he in the
room than he was confronted by his wife
with q drawn revolver. which she aimed
at his head and was at the point of firing
at him. He at once shouted to her and
she recognized his voice in the nick of
time to prevent shooting. 1t seems that
Mrs. Lawless had her niece with her, and
they heard Mr.. Lawless prowilng around
the house, but, not expecting him home,
they thought it was burglar, and when
he forced the door open she made up her
mind ii was time to do some shooting. Il
was narrow escape all round.
