ANACosTIA HAPPENINGS.
Colored Man Brought In to Have
Shot Picked Out.

Charles Bell. a colored man about thirty
two years old, was brought through Ana
costa in a wagon Saturday night and taken
to Providence Hospital, suffering from q
serious gunshot wound inflicted during the
afternoon near suitland, Prince Georges
county, Md, 1t is alleged, by his employer,
James Dorsey. a white farmer. According
to the story told by the two white men who
were in charge Of the team which convey
ed Bell to the hospital. the shooting oc-
Cured at the home of Dorsey, where Bell
was taking a meal after working. The
statement made is that Bell resented hav-
ing the term niger applied to him by
Dorsey in the course of their conversation,
saying he was not ngger, but but was sna
on between them for some time, 1t Is said,
when the argument became heated and
ended by Dorsey securing his shot gun and
firing at Bells lower limbs. Most of the
shot took effect in the colored mans right
leg, although some of the grains lodged in
the other leg also. After being treated by
man was placed in a wagon to be taken to
Providence Hospital, Justice Cox of Suit
land giving the necessary papers. Dorsey
was given hearing in the office of Justice
Cox, who fixed bail at the sum of $1,000. A
friend of the prisoner afterward went his
security, and Dorsey was restored to liber-
ty. This morning. it was stated, the
Henry E. Sheriff. a white resident Of
Oxon Hill, Prince Georges county. Nd.
while driving close to the car track on
Nichols avenue, Congress Heights, yester-
day morning shortly before o'clock, had a
narrow escape from serious results, as his
vehicle run into by electric No. 2
of the Capital railway. The horse and
wagon were thrown over and Sheriff went
down with them. 1t was found he was not
injured, but the wagon was badly damaged
The horse was caught by Motorman Ten
nyson before it could run away. Sheriff
exonerated the motorman and conductor
from blame.
In ST. Teresas Church the usual October
devotion, consisting Of the public recita-
ton of the rosary, takes place each morn

of 206 d street that the alley in the rear
of d street between I'd and Sd is in a
filthy condition, and that crowds congre-
gate around it's entrance and annoy people
in It's vicinity. The complaint was referred
to the police department, and Lieut.. KEEL

spected by his men 1t was in a fair con-
dition. He suggests that the property own
