RECKLESS WITH GUN.

j. NJ. Young Used 1t With Eject
When Ordered to Leave q Hotel.
Fort Dodge, Iowa, Jan. 31.-A very
shooting acair occurred
here in the Office of the Logan house.
j. M. Young, who is from Minneapolis,
was the perpetrator Of the shooting,
and as a result one man Is seriously
wounded and the Office Of the Logan
house is perforated with bullets.
Young has been getting up a city d.
rectory and has been boarding at the
Logan house. OF late he has been OBJ
j%ecticnable and was ordered to leave
the hotel by Landlord l.. r. Chase.
Just after supper the shooting began.
Young fred first at a man who was
standing at the head of the stairs. The
was Will Greenleaf of Des
Moines, an elocutionist with the Ma
tional Theater company. Greenleaf
was hit in the leg, the bullet striking
below the knee and glancing upward.
1t has not yet been found, and the
wound is considered very dangerous.
Young then returned to the office and
fired point blank at a man sitting at
the desk who looked like Mr.. Chase.
He then began shooting promiscuously
about the room until his revolver was
en,ptied, and then, using it as a club,
resisted arrest until he was Overpow-
cred. The office was filled at the time
of the shooting, and it is n miracle
that no one was killed. Young has
been bound w to the grand jury I'M
der $1,000 bonds.

KNOCKOUT DROPS
Wind Up the Earthly Career of
Wealthy ScOtchman,

Wind Up the Earthly Career Of q
Wealthy Scotchman.
New York, Jan. N.-David A. Nc
Clure, a wealthy Scotch tourist OF
Glasgow. died yesterday at the Home
opathic hospital in Brooklyn, and the
autopsy showed he had been killed by
Knockout drops. Mcclure came here
from Scotland Nov. q. He remained
in the Manhattan hotel for a time, but
then went to Brooklyn to live. On Fri
day Mcclure became intoxicated and
he remained in that condition all that
day and Saturday. Yesterday he was
found battered, bruised and uncon-
scicus near the Fulton ferry. He was
carried by several patrolmen to the
Fulton street police station and from
there to the hospital. In a lucid mo-
ment he said he had been beaten in
Ocean parkway by three men and that
they had stolen his watch, chain, scarf
pin and money. 1t was thought at first
that the beating was the aus OF
death, but an autopsy showed that
choral had affected his heart so that
death followed.
