WONDERFUL ANIMALS.
Gentry Has an Aggregation That
 Amazed Hundreds.

The famous Gentry dog and pony show amused and amazed four large audiences Friday and Saturday at tie big tent on South Main street. At the matinees the tent was crowd. ed with ladies and children, and at the night performances hundreds were turned away long before the appointed hour for beginning the show.
 It is simply wonderful what intel. hgence is shown by the dumb 5rutes under the control of one of the Gen try brothers. The ponies when giv- en their cues go through thelr acts with human understanding The dogs seem to know exactly when their part comes araund and per form their acts without prompting. In this respect they are far superior to their more gifted two-footed ffiend-man. The little trick ele. phanf Pinto catches the eyes oI the audience with his cute pranks,

1T. j. oRMsBY, 4 1NYER. SERIOUSLY WOUNDS
 FRED RAFFE.
TROUBLE OVER A WOMAN
The Trouble Occurred Shortly Before Five O'clock Saturday
 Evening.

Pine Bluf6ans who happened lu the vicinity Of Brockways saloon on East Barraque street, about 4:45 o'clock Saturday afternoon, were startled to hear pistol shot, which was followed by scuf1ing of men and then a large crowd was seen to congregate in and around a building just East of the saloon.
 A Graphic reporter hurried to the scene to ascertain the trouble and leave, If there was any. He saw Fred R4ffe lying in a pool of blood in the rear of his carriage shop aud at the same time noticed Sergeant H. L. Wilson hurrying Lawyer Tom J. Ormsby off toward the police headquarters.
 Tbe scenes e-aeted and the large crowd which had assembled made 1t difficult matter to ascertain who had done the shooting or what it was about.
 The facts as were learned from an eye witness after much inquiring are as follows:
 T. J. Ormsby has his law office in little partitjoaed affair adjoining Raffe's carriage shop. He had been boozing all day and quarrelled with Raffe on several occasions previous to the shooting. How or by what cause the quarrels had beer brought about could not be feared, but some say it was over waman, others say the purchasing of a can of beer. About 4:45 o'clock Ormsby entered Raffe's shop. Raffe together with an apprentice were at work on carriage. Ormsby began to abuse Raffe and continued to curse hlm. Raffe continued bis labors aud told Ormsby to go away, that he didn't care to have any words with him. Without warning Olmsby pulled 38-caliber revolver from his pocket and fired at Raffe. He was in the act of shooting again when the ap- prentice grabbed him. The ball en- tered Raffe's left breast, striking the collar bone and ranging down ward. Raffe suffered intense agony and could only be relieved after be had been given several doses of strong opiates. Drs. Hankison and Allen attended him. At late hour last night he was resting very easy.
 The ball lodged in the rear of the shoulder where it now is. It will be probed for as soon as the physi- clans see fit to do so. Whether or not, the wound would prove serious, had not been determined by the physicians at late hour last night.
 Ormsby was committed to jail by Prosecuting Attorney Sorrells with out bond. Ormsby is lawyer about 50 years of age and is known to many as a troublesome, disagree able kind of a fellow, especially SO when drunk. If Raffe dies it will doubtless go very hard with him.
 Raffe was formerly in the employ of the Cotton Belt as a carpenter at the shops. He is an experienced carriage maker and a member of several secret orders of this city.

NOBODY Is CENSURED.
SIr. HOban Says He VIII Carry the
Matter Into Court.

The board of public works yesterday
submitted to Mayor Kiefer the report of
it's Investigations on the charges made
by A. J. Hoban, of the st. Paul Sidewalk
company, against Sidewalk Inspectors
Hickey and Bantz, of the engineering de
partment.
AS announced in the Globe yester-
day, the report does not censure either
of the inspectors or the city engineer-
ing department. 1t recites in detail the
result OF the Investigations made by the
board, and winds up by saying: LAS to
the inspectors referred to in the charges,
we believe that they have been doing the
work required of them as we'll as pos
sible; that it is impossible for them to
be in more than one place at a time
With reference to Inspector Bantz, we
find by his own testimony that he was
absent several times from the shop of
the Portland Stone company during
working hours. The board is of the opin-
ion that the cement walks laid this year
under the city ordinance are giving MUCK
better satisfaction than walks laid in
former years, and will prove a great
benefit to the general public
Accompanying the report was lengthy
letter from Former City Engineer Rund-
lett, in which attention is called to the
fact that nearly all the work cited bv
Hoban was done before May Is, the date
upon which the city inspection was IN
augurated.
Hoban stated yesterday that if the re-
port vindicated the inspectors he would
take the matter into the courts, for the
reason that, as he said. the members OF
the board had submitted to influence in
finding the charges had but little foun-
dation. The inspectors, he said, had all
lowed companies other than the one he
was connected with to do inferior work,
and he could prove it.
