4 Hot Time Sunday Night.

The people living near the cen
trail part of town were startled at
about midnight Sunday by hear
ing a considerable amount of
shooting in the neighborhood of
the intersection of Elk avenue and
Third street. Peter Rollo, a we'll
known italian employed at the
coke ovens, had got into a little
difficulty in Lacy's saloon, during
the course of which and in an un-
seen manner he stabbed William
Gibson to the bone through the
biceps of the left arm. For some
unaccountable reason Gibson did
not make known his injury until
several minutes after it had been
inflicted, but when the other men
became aware of what had taken
place they became menacing in
their actions and Rollo was warned
that he had better get out of the
house while able. He took this
advice, but before he cleared the
doorway he received a crack over
the head from billiard cue
strongly welded by one of the
crowd. Ee went home and pro-
cured a gun and came over in
front of the Bank block and COM
menced firing at party of men
who had just emerged from Davis
& Baxter's saloon and were then
on their way up the street. These
men were SO surprised that they
became panic stricken and hastily
sought cover, several having mar
row escapes. Among them was
Mike Enright, bartender for Davis
& Baxter. He retreated into the
building and secured a revolver,
with which ne returned number
of shots. Rollo quickly retired
and ran for his house on Third
street, while the objects of his
attack fastened to summon the
marshal, who had went home for
the night a short time previous.
Accompanied by Police Magistrate
Thompson and Enright, and fol-
lowed by score of others, Marshal
Arnott proceeded toward Rollo's
house. Upon arriving within forty
yards murderous fire was opened
on them by Rollo, who was stand
ing in the doorway, but his aim was
bad owing to the darkness, only
one man, George Ball, an onlooker,
being hit, ball passing squarely
through the calf of his right leg.
AT the first shot the crowd disap-
appeared like chaff before whirl-
wind, but Arnott and companions
returned hot fire and steadily ad-
vanced. Seeing that his case was
hopeless. Rollo ran out at the rear
and made good his escape under
cover of darkness and aided by
friends. For two hours afterward
armed men patrolled the town,
but they found no clew to his
whereabouts. At daybreak a re-
volver stained with blood was
found on the mesa near the mine
| by Archie Fitzpatrick, who was
coming down town from the resi-
dence of Sup't. Alexander. TAX
ing this fact as an indication that
Rollo had escaped in that direction
a posse went up on the hill and
by trial of blood spots found that
he had passed around the west
and north sides of town and
re-entered from the northeast.
1t is quite probable that he is yet
in concealment in town or in this
immediate vicinage and a strict
watch for him is being maintained.
That he is wounded is evidenced
by blood stains on his door frame,
on the revolver and on his trail,
but how bad no one knows. Per-
haps it is better that he was not
caught the night of the trouble, as
lynching was threatened; yet it is
a matter of regret that he has not

Prof. John JackOl.

Prof. John Jackol, who has been elect
ed principal of the Aberdeen public
schools for the coming school year is we'll
and favorably known on Puget Sound.
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer gives the
following sketch Of the American career
OF Mr.. Jackol.
This young graduate Of the University
of Washington, class OF 1894, who was
recently so highly complimented by A.
fred Lister, +. Il, S., has been elected
principal of the public schools OF Aber.
deem, Washington. From his past record
it is quite certain that he will make a
marked success in this new position.
There is touch OF the romantic in this
promotion OF Prof. Jackol. Ten years ago
he landed in America as a youth from
Finland, and was unable to speak a word
of English. He knew his mathematics
and some classics, so he was admitted to
the preparatory department Of the uni
versity, and there he continued his studies
until lie was graduated, paying his way
by serving as carrier Of the Post.Intelli-
gencer. The place where he landed in
America as triendless sailor boy was
this very same Grays Harbor city OF
Aberdeen, where he now goes as the lead
OF that city's educational work.
