Elmer Howard, the young man who
was shot and seriously wounded by
George Randall, Sunday evening, Nov.
10, is reported to be resting much eas-
Ter today. DR.. Sprague, the attending
physician, said this afternoon that the
case is proving a rather remarkable
one. The patient is paralyzed below
the wound, and the ball also passed
through the left lung, making the
trouble doubly serious. Notwithstand-
ing this fact Mr.. Howard is better to-
day than he has been since the shoot
ing occurred, and there is the faintest
ray of hope for his recovery.
At 1878 o'clock last evening the fire
department was called to the dwelling
at No. SIS East Mill street, owned by
Mrs. Catherine Aikens, and occupied by
James Childers. The fire caught from
a defective fiue and damaged the house
| to the extent of about $3.50. The
household goods, on which there was
$500 Insurance, was removed. The hose
was laid across the Rock Island tracks
to the scene of the fire, and the west
bound Rock Island passenger train cut
the hose, necessitating shutting off the
water and coupling on two new sec
tions. Two alarms were turned in for
this fire, the last one by some person
who, seeing the door Of the alarm box
open, pulled the hook. The South Side
departments, installing the second alarm
as a signal for assistance, also made a
run, but their services were not need
ed. "
