BULLET IN HIS SHOULDER.
Car Inspector Grubbs shot by an
Unknown Man.

Unknown Man. t1v
A young white man who stated that
he is Pat Grubbs of No. 442 Price
street, and who claims to be a car in
spector for the Seaboard Air Line, was
shot in the left shoulder and assaulted
by two unknown men last night. The
assault was committed in the Tender
loin district. and the police We're nn-
able to learn who fired the shot,
Grubbs stated that he was walking
on Hull street with a friend and he
was stopped in dark spot near Hous-
ton street by two men, He was told
that he could not pass and answered
that he guessed he could walk on the
street without any interference.
Grubbs says that he started forward,
and that he had just passed the men
when one of them struck him in the
back Of the head, making an ugly cut.
The car inspector says that he
struck the man who assaulted him and
that they were fighting when the other
stranger drew revolver. Grubbs says
that he begged the man with the
weapon not to shoot, as he was ufl-
armed, but that the man shot and then
ran. The bullet entered Grubbs' left
shoulder and the wound bled profusely.
Physicians were summoned and the
wounds were dressed at police head
quarters.
Superintendent Reilly searched va
rious houses in the Tenderloin, with
Grubbs, in the hope of finding the man
who fired the shot, but without getting
any trace of him. Patrolman Smith
was sent to the depots, but could find
no one who answered the description
given by Grubbs. The police are not
sure that the man who fired the shot
is a stranger. and a resident of the
East Side is under suspicion. Grubbs,
who is not seriously hurt, claims that
he can identity his assailant.

TO TEST WATER RATES.
Conrad Shredder Begins Proceedings
to Discover Whether Ordinance
Establishing Rates Is Valid.

Conrad Schroeder, through his attor-
ney, lra II. Burns. yesterday began a
suit in equity against the Scranton Gas
and Water company to test the valid
ity of the ordinance fixing water rates
recently passed by councils.
The water company recently sent ME-.
Schroeder Il water bill for the quarter
beginning April l and ending July l..
This bill was based upon the companv's S
fixed schedule of prices and amounted
to AS. Mr.. Schroeder secured copy
of the water rates ordinance and found
that under its provisions the bill should
be only S"l.12h cents. He sent a letter
to the water company asking for COR
rccted bill.
President w. w. Scranton, of tho
company. replied personally to MIR.
Schrocdcr's letter in the following
terms:
