was made this morning.
While Captain West was lying asleep in
his bed at his residence, No. 1902 west
Main street, some unknown person fired
through the roof Of the house, the ball
striking the Intel Of the door about five
feet from the bed in which he was sleep
ing. The report wakened Mrs. West, and
her daughter, who was sleeping in the
adjoining room, but the Captain slept
peacefully on.
An investigation was made and it was
found that the ball had passed through
the tin on the roof, the sheeting, the laths
and plaster of the ceiling, and had made
a deep indentation on the door frame in
the hall.
The police were notified, and the ball
was found lying on the floor in the hail.
The officers and Captain West made a
thorough investigation for the purpose of
finding some trace Of the man who fired
the Shot but ..lere was not the slightest
clue. The residence is. one of several
attached houses, but there was no ladder
in the vicinity which could have been
used in getting on to the roof.
'I haven't any idea as to who could
have fired the shot, said Captain West,
this morning. "I do not know whether
it was an attempt to assassinate me. !,

kill me. It is a complete mystery

ton, but there is no clue which they can
