ELSIE GRAY'S REVOLVER
USED IN PRACTICE, WITH JOHN
DONLEY, OF BRIDGEPORT,
As THE TARGET.
FLESH WOUND INFLICTED
DonIey is Alleged to Have Fired First
and Gray Responded With Vol
Iey-Gray Released ON Bail-A
Practical Joke Played on a Ben
wood saloon keeper-Other Police
and Justice shop Cases.

There was shooting ARRAY in John
G. Kline's saloon on Market Square
yesterday afternoon, which would nave
resulted more seriously but for the
poor craftsmanship of one of the prin-
cipals One of the parties was John
Donley, saloon-keeper of Bridgeport,
and the other was Elsie Gray, who
shows a great inclination to get mixed
up in all the deviltry perpetrated in the
Second ward.
The two men are said to have quar-
relied over a card game a week or
more ago. 1t was renewed when the
men met, and Donley whipped out a
revolver and shot once at Gray, the
bullet going wide of it's mark. Gray
pulled out his revolver, and is said to
have fired four shots, only one of which
took effect. 1t struck Donley's side,
near the right arm pit.
Donley was taken to police head
quarters, where DR.. S. l.. Jepson and
DR.. Eugene Hoge were summoned. The
wound was not serious, and did not
require the services of the physicians.
A warrant was Issued for Gray by JUS
tice Srolowitz, and placed in the hands
of Officer Turner, who arrested Gray
about four o'clock. He was arraigned
On charge of shooting with intent to
main, disfgure, disable of kill" and
furnished bond in the sum of $500, after
which he was released from custody.

absurd, as the officers know OF the

Mutual Endorsements of Stott a7d
Strong, and the Death of Both,
Brought the Crisis.
NEW YORK, Nov. 14-The cause of
the w l.. Strong & Co. failure was
made public to-day by the receiver,
Edward A. Treat
Counsel said that the Strong firm
had endorsed more than 100000 in
notes for the Stott Woollen Mills, for
which the firm was agent, and that
the odd circumstances of the sudden
death of former mayor Strong and of
F. H. Stott, heads of two concerns,
within three days of each other,
had brought about a crisis by dis
solving both firms at a moment when
large sums were due.
One note endorsed for the Scott
company for 100000 is due to-mor-
row. Other notes for nearly half mill
lion are due soon The Stott COM
pany, in which the Strong company
is Largely interested, counsel said to-
day, had endorsed notes of the Strong
company in return, but for an inslgni-
ficant amount, probably less than $780,
600 in all.

James Jones, of Aetnaville, is home
from Cambridge to spend few days.
Joseph Mcdonald, who has been

The first meetin gof the Young a.
dies Euchre Club OF this season took
place yesterday at the home of the
Misses ida and Carrie Barnum in Kirk
wood. The event was very enjoyable
one and well attended.
At present this county has some
officeholders under the national gov
eminent who are quaking in their
shoes, fearing that they may lose their
positions under the new administra-
ton. No doubt there is much cause
for this alarm. and the trouble all
dates back to the Gill-Wees fight for
the noination for Congress. At present
Gil holds their political heads in the
pal of his hand The question is, will
he retaliate? No one but Mr.. Gill
can answer this question. The present
Congressman is a business man, and
works in politics the same as he does
in his own business, and is also man
that viii do just what he thinks is to
his advantage. In the near future more
definite news will come to light
The Democratic club of this city
has formed a permanent oranization
and from the present outlook will be
one of the largest political organiza-
tions in the county. The members are
all hard workers, and will make the
club success in the future as in the
past campaign The club eldcted the
following officers. President, Cam.
Alexander; vice president, Charles
Neugardt; secretary, A. ]. Grouse;
| trustees, R, B. Mitchell, George Bres-
ock, Charles Saylor, Nick Duke. The
following commute was appointed to
draw up constitution and bylaws:
Everly South, N. B. Coss, A. ]. Grouse.
George Bresock and L. T. Springer.
The club will meet again in the near
future. All Democrats should become
affiliated with the organization and
give it their personal attention.

IN THE ROLES OF THIEVES.
How a Joke Was Played ON n Ben
wood Saloon Keeper.

The Benwood police were notified
yesterday morning that some time dur
ing the night previous that saloon on
Main street had been robbed by a
gang of unknown men, who were prob
ably the same thieves who have been
so successfully operating at Sherrard,
but it developed that the case was
practical joke on the proprietor of the
place.
He went to sleep while sitting in a
chair in the rear of his saloon and
when he awoke he discovered that some
one had entered and carried away the
slot machine. He notified the author
tiles but nothing was heard of the miss
ing property until late in the day,
when two Of his friends carried the
machine into the establishment and
told him a story of how they had Sc
cured it from the thieves after a hard
fought battle.
He had already promised to reward
them when he was given a tip that his
two friends had enacted the roles of
robbers ''just for fun" He now claims
that the joke was on them as the ma
chine was empty.
