blood from the rear Of the building at Si5
Massachusetts avenue for more than a
square. The man was injured by the dis
charge of a trap shotgun loaded with No

The building is occupied by A. c. Stanton
In the rear room a creamery business Is
conducted, and the front room is used
for a cigar and news stand. Several times
during the last few months the cash
drawer has been rihed of its contents
which never amounted to more than two
or three dollars. Entrance was usually

discharged. Blood covered the floor. and

SHOT WITH TOY PISTOL.
A Squad of Police Disguised with
Their Long Journey.

A hurried call came into the Dispensary
at 1880 last night, asking for a physician
10 dress a gunshot wound. The call was
made by William Mallory. colored. living
at West Fourteenth street and Fall creek.
He said the shooting was accidental, that
one brother had shot another, and the
case was serious DIR. Brown hastily
packed his instruments, notified the police,
and with Captain Kruger. a squad of de-
tectives, policemen and reporters, started
for Fall creek bottoms to investigate the
shooting. After blindly wandering over
dark and muddy roads for five or ten min
utes after they left the street car. they
finally saw a light cleaning I'm the dis
lance and made for il. The house stood
all alone, and from what could be seen
in the dark it was the only one answer
ing the description of the place where
the shooting had occurred.
The pace of the party was quickened as
they neared the house, and presently the
door opened and man put his head out
Then others came 10 the door, and as the
police filed in, the half dozen men and
women in the house threw up their hands
and asked what was the matter. On the
bed lay a boy ten years old, of Nal
lOry, WHO did not seem to be suffering
a great Zeal OF pain 1t was explained that
he had been shot. George Mallory. five
years old. brother of the wounded boy
had shot him accidentally with a toy ho-
bert pistol. The. ball entered the right hip,
but the wound was so slight that DR.
Brown said there was no use TO keep
the boy in bed. The police turned away i'm
disgust when they learned the situation
and left the doctor alone TO dress the
wound.
After the accident the father took the
pistol into the back yard and hammered it
10 pieces.

Railroad Man.

Special to Sews-Democrat.
Salem, o., Oct. 1l.-Hon. ]. living
Brooks died at 4 o'clock this morning
at his home on Highland avenue in
this city, being in his 62d year.
The cause Of death was Bright's dis
ease. Two years ago his health began
to fail him, and for six months past
he had not given much attention to
business, his condition during that
time being such as to render 1t nec-
essary for him to remain at home most
of the time where he was under the
care of a specialist, and every
thing was done to restore him to his
former health and vigor. At times he
appeared much better, and his friends
were greatly encouraged. He was
able to be about the house and ride
out frequently. t
Mr.. Brooks was born in Salem in
1910 and had always been a resident
here, though his business interests
were largely in Pittsburg and he spent
much of his time there in the offices
of the Pennsylvania company of which
he was second vice president. For
many years prior to his elevation to
the position he held at the time of his
death he was one of the Pennsylvania
attorneys. His father before him was
largely interested in the Pennsylvania
and the Fort Wayne roads.
Mr.. Brooks was wealthy man,
owning large estates in and about Sa,
lem in addition to his railroad inter.
ests. Among his immediate friends he
was known as an indefatigable work.
er, applying himself early and late in
attention to business which grew with
the years. To all Of it he gave his per.
sonal attention, yet he found time to
be congenial to friends and old neigh.
bors and take an interest in public af
fairs, especially those which concerned
his home city.
He was the builder and owner Of
many fine business blocks in the city,
taking special pains to have them
modern and embody some of his ideas
of architecture. Some years ago, he
erected one, Of the finest stone resi-
dences in this part Of the state, stand
ing upon an eminence to the eastern
part of the city and overlooking the
city and the country for many miles
about. Here he enjoyed himself sur
rounded by his family, his library and
every comfort that could be provided.
Mr.. Brooks enjoyed the friendship
of many people throughout the country
and was a warm personal friend of the
late President Mckinley in whose be-
half he labored during the campaign
of 1896, although he had for years been
identified with the Democratic party.
The members Of his family who are
left to mourn his death are Mrs
Brooks, and four children, Mr.. Charles
Brooks. who Is an attorney In Cleve-
land; Mrs. F. J. Emeny, Miss Judith
