JEALOUS W0MAN'S PISTOL
Creates a Sensation at the Railroad
Station in Dover, Friday.
TWO SHOTS FIRED AT LOUIS LEVY
But Fortunately Neither Shot
Took Effect.
THE ASSAlLANT, MISS HORN, RAN AWAY

Dover, Aug. 1S.-A sensation was
created at tho Delaware railroad sta
tion here, this morning, when Miss
Horn, appearing from near the coal
bins below the pumphouse, fired several
shots at Louis Levy.
Levy resides here and had Just
alighted from the train, in company
with another man, from Milford, and
was going to his home, a short distance
from the station. None of the shots
took effect.
Jealousy is supposed to have
prompted the attack. Levy and Miss
Horn have been on terms of scquaint-
anceship, but not Of intimacy, accord
ing to his statement. Miss Horn lives
in Dover.
The shooting created a great sensa-
tion at the station.
After the attack upon Levy, Miss
Horn left the station and went swiftly
to her home. No attempt was made to
arrest her.
Dover, Aug. 19.-The sensational
shooting affair of yesterday morning
near the railroad station was the main
topic of conversation in Dover during
the entire day.
declared after she had emptied her re-
volver, that she would yet ''fix" Levy.
She made this declaration to Mr.. Levy
later, as he was passing by in his team,
but he paid no attention to her threats
Shortly after the affair occurred Mr.
Levy endeavored to have warrants sworn
out against Miss Horn, but Justice
Cooper was out of town and Justice
Hutton was in i'll health, in conse-
quence of which he could not have the
desired warrants issued. His charges
against the woman were assault with
intent to kill, carrying concealed "a
deadly weapon and shooting within the
town limits. Ii these charges are
pressed against Miss Horn, she will
have to furnish bail to keep from
going to prison.
Mr.. Levy stated last night that while
this was the first attempt at shooting,
he had been threatened several times
by the Horn woman. He said he is
tired of her actions and intends to put
stop to them, if possible.
The gentleman who accompanied Mr..
Levy as he was leaving the train, re-
marked to the Gazette's corrsspon-
dent, that when he saw the revolver in
the woman's hand, and she told him to
step aside, as he was not the one she
was looking for, he obeyed without any
formality whatever. After the woman
had fired several shots at Levy, she
drew her revolver in front of her face
as if to get a better hold on the
weapon, and in doing SO she barely
escaped shooting herself.
Further developments in the case are
looked for.
This morning, before Magistrate
Hutton, Levy swore out four warrants
for Miss Horns arrest, on the charges
above enumerated.
Dover, Aug. 81. The sensational
shooting affair of Friday was settled,
Saturday afternoon by withdrawal
by Louis Levy of all the charges
against Miss Horn, except that of
threatening bodily harm. On this
charge she was bound over in peace
