Prevented Bullet From Peuetrati'
GeOrge EouIden's flesh.

George BouIden's Flesh.
While George Bouldon, colored, was
walking at Sixth and Walnut streets
Monday afternoon he was shot in the
back, BUT through a fortunate circum-
stance his life was spared. The bullet
struck buckle on his suspenders and
stuck IN the clothing, from which it
was extracted by Capt. Chambers at
the police station shortly after the
shooting. The skin was broken by the
force of the bullet against tho buckle.
At the police station Boulden alleged
that John H. buckley, also ooloied, had
shot him, and had warrant sworn out
for Duckley's arrest. Jealousy is
thought to have been the cause of the
trouble.
