it continues to vent it's spleen this

A MYSTERIOUS SHOT

Assailant Supposed TO Belong to
a Gang, Members of Which
Are Arrested.

Peter j. Fleming, whose home is at
, 36 Fifth and-a-half avenue, was
shot last night in a peculiar manner,
the circumstances attending giving
the police a rather complicated piece
of work to unravel.
The wound is not a serious one, but
the intentions of the assailant were
evidently the worst. and if his aim
had been a very few inches better the
effect woald have been fatal.
Fleming was with Morris WEIGH, the
Twentieth street barber. last evening,
and the two were walking along Fifth
avenue in the vicinity of the upper
lum Der yard, when they were accosted
by certain young fellows aud trouble
followed According to the best in
formation 81 far developed, Fleming
waded in and cleaned up the bunch.
Set Upon by Crowd.
The pair went west tt the Casino
saloon and later started south on
Twenty-fourth street. Before they
had gone far they were set upon by a
crowd headed by the young fellows
they had mixed with earlier in the
evening. Stones appear to have
formed the chief weapon of offense
and Fleming and Welch beat a retreat
through the alley II Twenty-third
street When they reached the end
of the alley Fleming declared he had
been stabbed and exhibited q wound
above the left lung. No one had
heard Il shot fired and 1t was supposed
l. IL
when DR.. De Silva examined the hurt
ut Bieber's drug store. He at once
declared the injured man had been
shot and after ne had been removed
TO St. Anthony's hOpital in the am-
bulance probed without success for
the bullet. The ball had been fired
from the front and side, striking the
collar bone and being detected down
ward. The lung was entered, but
the wound was not necessarily a seri-
Gus one.
Arrests are Made.
The police at 2:3O arrested Charles
Miller, Ray Ammonium and Claus
Beck for having taken part in the
fray, and between and 8 o'clock this
morning brought in Frank Sebrig,
Frank Hunter and Richard Van Horn
on the same charge. They will be
given a hearing this evening.
