The family Of Charles Smith, who live
on the road from Hydeville to Stafford
Street, had a visitor early Monday morn
ing whose presence wasn't appreciated
even little bit. The man first made his
appearance about one O'clock. and made
his presence known by throwing small
stones against the lower windows. Not
withdrawing that several shots were
fred at him, he remained In the vi
cinity Of the house until about five O'Clock
In the morning. On examining the foot

theory that can be advanced for his APP
pearance and actions at that time In the
morning Is that IL must have been some
insane person. w..
