J. G. GATH IN TROUBLE.
Bullet Sent on a Mistaken Brand
 Narrowly Misses Its Mark.

Santa Monica, Oct. 0.-JOhn Gattl, an Arizona cattle man, is in sore trOu- ble because he sent bullet on mis- taken errand. Thinking that he saw before him his wife's paramour, he shot at and narrowly missed Harry Tooker, an innocent party, Thursday evening.
 Gatti halls from Clifton, Arizona, and is said to be possessed of consider able wealth. According to a state ment made today by one of his friends he and the woman in the case have been living together nearly ten years and were married under the somewhat loose laws of Arizona. Gatti left his wife installed in a cottage in Santa Monica not long ago, and returned to attend to his business interests in the Territory. A few days ago he came to Santa Monica and found that the woman had married a man named Flanders, a carpenter employed at Port Los Angeles.
 The next chapter of the story deals 
 ternoon she visited the furniture store of w. I. Hull and offered to sell the furniture in the cottage where she was staying. She was living in the Connally cottage on Utah avenue near Fourth street and MT. Hull visited the place to examine the furniture. Hav- ing agreed on a price he went with Harry TOoker, man employed in his store, to take away the furniture. In closing the deal the woman gave her name as Flanders. She told a rather wild story about d man who was likely to attempt to shoot her husband, but MT. Hull thought her talk was the re- suit of an unduly excited imaginatio l and used ordinary persuasion to pac- ify her.
 | MT. Hull sat in the house complet- l ing the details of the bill of sale while Tooker carried the furniture out piece by piece and loaded it on a wagon. Gatti stood near the wagon and watch ed the removal of the furniture with some show of interest. He addressed Tooker as ''Sam" and made some in- quiries about the removal. Tooker, not understanding that Gatti was ex- cited over the taking away of his own furniture, made casual answers. Ali ter a few minutes of desultory talk, Gatti is reported to have suddenly said: ''Well, it has come to a matter of gun play" and to have quickly drawn a revolver.
 Startled at the unexpected devel- opment, Tooker jumped to where the horse partially shielded him and then run. Having gone nearly block and not hearing any pursuer, he slacked his speed and looked back.
 Just then Gatti fired.
 The bullet passed through Rockers coat and made a hole through two newspapers which were closely folded in his pocket, but did not infict any wound. Tooker got away from Gatt and did not until afterward learn that his clothing had been penetrated by

CONCERNING CITY NOISES.

A notable feature of modern city life is
hostility TO unnecessary noises. In Chicago
the sentiment has crystallized in IN ordi-
nance which is being enforced with some
vigor and considerable success. The ordi-
nance prohibits unnecessary and intoler-
able noises, the definition OF these being
left to the police and the court. The de-
termination OF the question leaves a wide
margin for difference of opinion and discre-
tionary Judgment. but the result will be
a sensible restriction of noises that may
be called unnecessary nuisances. The num-
Der of these in every large city is cons;d-
cradle. although they vary largely in the
business and residence portions of any
city. Variety of noises is one of the at
tributes of civilization. From the deep and
tremendous whir of thousands of station
airy steam engines through all the grada-
lions of machinery to the shrill Shrek of
the locomotives and the Notwithstanding
rattle of street cars, including the rumble
of hundreds Of thousands of vehicles and
countless other noises hat go to make up
the roar Of q great city. suggesting In its
steady n far-on sound the roar Of The
ocean. = Z long way and embraces many

AS TO ART MATTERS.

1t has been perhaps rashly assumed by
late John Heron for use in the promotion
Of art in Indianapolis was intended for
the general benefit and not for a semi
private fund to be expended how and when
the persons composing the Art Association
might choose. Therefore it is that sugges-
tons as to the outlay of this fund have
been freely offered and citizens nave taken
a deep interest in the matter. Some ener-
getic persons fancled that plans would be
made at once for the expenditure of the
fund and steps taken for the carrying out
of the testators purposes as soon as the
money became available, and looked hope
fully forward to an early addition to the
city's attractions. They saw no more rea-
enterprise. They were disappointed, how
ever. The money was available more than a
year ago, and an art building is apparently
no nearer naturalization now thar then.
that by delay the und grows and more can
be done with it later. This latter PROPOSE
ton is undoubtedly true; if fifty years
should be allowed to pass. for instance, the
Heron fund would be much larger and
great things could be done with it. Mean
while, however, Indianapolis would derive
no good from it, and there is reason to be-
lieve that the t~estator wished to give the
present generation educational advantages.
The association processes to be unable to
decide upon a site for an art building. AS
a matter of fact, 1t can decide at any time,
and ought to do so. Nothing is to be gained
by postponement Of the decision. 1t is not
worth while to wait In the vague hope of
hath shall be given hardly applies to the
present conditions. No man is likely to
offer a check to be dropped into the asso-
cations pocket for indefinite stay. When
a building is once erected and an art center
actually created 1t will be something to
draw to. and liberal and progressive citi-
zens may then, If ever. be expected to pro-
mote art interests.
There has been a general feeling that the
projected building should have a central
location, but the main thing is to have the
building-somewhere. If the art experts
agree on an outside site with much space
to spare. then let such a site be chosen. 1t
would. perhaps, be a popular move to place
1t. say, in Garfield Park. as some one has
already proposed. Doubtless the city would
grant the necessary space either there or in
be saved.
But the main purpose Of these remarks

A large number Of young men n women.
High School graduates and others. are at
that stage OF their art education where
they need advantages OF instruction which
they cannot get here. Many Of them can
not afford to go elsewhere, and II they
must wait the slow of the asso-
citation n the erection of a building they
will simply lose the advantage of the train
ing they have already had. The Art As
ISOLATION should do something for these
students at once. An art school need not
be In an "art temple" Temporary quarters
and competent instructors for advanced
classes should be provided. Nothing does
so much to create an art atmosphere in a
community as the existence Of such a
school with a body of enthusiastic young
students. The association has the money
and liberty to use it, or a portion of it. In
this way. 1t should take the matter under
advisement at once, and, If the suggestion
is not too frivolous for the high art tenn
permanent, should get a move on"

probably not be half q crop in the Dakotas
and Minnesota. We shall have no wheat
to export. and the price Is quite likely to
be over q dollar q bushel before the crop
Of 1901 will be available. II there shall be
q fair crop OF corn and other cereals the
people in the corn belt will be but partial
losers. II the statements of those who
were asking Congress to make war upon
the ad~ulteration of wheat -four with corn
flour are true, the amount Of corn -four
now sold as wheat -four is so large and
the mixing is so skillful that a scarcity of
wheat may not be so much Of a deprivation
as might be imagined. Bread is the staf
of life. but bread made OF wheat -four has
been the bread Of the well-to-do In Europe
until within recent years. In this country.
where meat is so much depended on as
food. corn, which is both bread and meat,
is the most useful crop.
