BULLET IN LEG.
Shooting Affair, Sunday Night,
on Cape Elizabeth.
Unknown Callers, Refused Admission,
Fire on Mrs. Mansfield.
They Escape but Officers Hope Soon to
Locate Them.

Portland, Me-, March 31.-The
shooting ARRAY at Cape Elizabeth. late
last night, when Mrs. Margaret r.
Mansfield was seriously wounded by
one of a party of young men and
women, was as much of a mystery as
ever, late tonight. The police of this
city have taken hold with the county
officers and are assisting in the inves-
tigation, but up to a late hour they
had hardly any clue upon which to
work.
From the story told by Mrs. Mans
field and the young man who was in
the house with her when the shooting
occurred, the police believe the assail-
ant and his companions were off on
Il good time" under the influence of
liquor and the shooting was done more
to impress the other members of the
party by his braVadO rather than to
injure the woman. Working on this
theory they are now looking for hack
driver who drove party to Cape EliZ-
abeth, last night, but thus far have
been unable to find one.
The shooting occurred about $50
o'clock. last night, at Mrs. Mansfield's
house near Pond Cove. There was in
the house besides Mrs. Mansfield, Wal
ter Stearns, a private at Fort Williams,
and Harry, Mrs. Manstield's S-year-Old
son.
The first intimation of trouble came
when q. carriage containing three men
and two women drove up and stopped
in front of the house, and man de-
manded admission. On being asked
what was wanted he said they wanted
liquor. Mrs. Mansfield told him she
had no liquor and that he could not
come in. He would not accept that
answer, however, but said he knew she
had liquor and with that made an at
tack on the front door, attempting to
kick it I'M
Several panels of the door were split,
and seeing that the door would soon
fal in. StEarns started to open it. Mrs.
Mansfield was standing close to Stearns
and the door had swung open a foot
or 50 when a shot was fer, striking
Mrs. Mansfield in the leg. The par
ties outside made more talk, including
"a threat to burn the house and fired
at least two more shots. Then they
drove away.
Neither Mrs. Mansfield nor Stearns
saw any of the party distinctly, but
Harry Mansfield from a chamber win
dow witnessed the whole affair. He
says the carriage was a covered one,
drawn by dark horse. and that one
of the men had light moustache, wore
a light coat and a brown hat.
After the shooting one of the men
went to the Belmont hotel near by and
borrowed a lantern from a man who
has charge of the stable, saying that
woman had been shot down at Mrs.
Mansfield's. The lantern was not re-
turned and the stableman saw no more
of the party.
Mrs. Mansfield's wound while a
serious one will not result in per-
manent injury unless something I'M
foreseen happens. She will be taken
to a hospital tomorrow

II is a Rescue from Sufierias al
Death Affected by
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
The GREAT SPRING MEDHME
MR.. ALFRED BROWN,
A Prominent and Popular Citizen says
"After the Use of Paine's Celery Com
pound Am Now in the Best Of
Health"

The greatest of modern physicians,
Prof. Edward f. Phelps, NJ. d., LII. D.,
after years of long practice and close
scientific study, gave to suffering and
diseased men and women his marvel
Gus, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that
it had peculiar virtues and ample pow
ers to cure, after the terrible verdict
'incurable" was uttered by the medical
practitioner.
Thousands of the strongest testi-
mOnials from the best known and most
reliable men and women of our coun-
try fully sustain the claims made by
DR.. Phelps regarding his incompatible
Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs
furnished. comes recently from a gen.
tleman widely known in the capital
city of the Dominion of Canada. We
refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, 81 O'Connor
St, Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Browns letter
fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her
burden of disease and become well,
strong. and happy. 1t proves, too, that
the great medicine maintains more
firmly than ever before it's unriyaled
place in the estimation of people Of
wealth and social standing as well as
with the masses. Mr.. Brown says
Il acknowledge with thankfulness
and pleasure the fact that 1 have been
cured of very painful illness OF eight
years standing by use Of Paine's Cele-
ry Compound. l had, during the years
of my illness. tried almost all the ad-
vertised medicines without deriving
any good results. I was also treated
by several of the best doctors Of this
city. hoping to find that one of them, at
least, would understand my case.
:, Il was getting worse, and was told I
was incurable. I was indeed in a criti-
cal condition. | could not go from the
house alone, as l was liable to sudden
collapse. l tried hospital treatment,
but no relief or good results came to
me. I could not sleep; anything that I
ate increased my agonies; l was ex-
tremely weak, restless, tired, and de-
spondent; was obliged to walk about
with my hands pressed firmly into my
left side to ease my pains; my feet and
hands were cold continually; had in
clination to vomit, had profuse, cold
sweats. quick breathing, and would be
racked with pain for hours at a time.
After the regular use of Paine's Gel
cry Compound for a time, l am now in
the best of health. have good appe-
title, and can use any kind Of food.
Thank God am my old self once more,
all through the use of Paine's Celery
Compound"

A BLOWN BLAST"
Causes % Deaths in Mine
at Dayton, Tenn.
Blast Fired Before All the Miners Had
Reached Safety.
Ten Bodies Recovered, All Fearfully
MangIed and Torn.

Chattanooga, Tenn, March 31.-At
AS O'Clock this afternoon, an explosion
of gas in the Nelson mine of the Day.
ton Coal and Iron Co. at Dayton, Tenn,
ignited the dry coal dust in the mine
and caused a terrific explosion. Twenty
two men are known to be dead. Ten
bodies had been recovered and IL bodies
are reported to be yet in the mine.
Gas exists in the Nelson mine and
the men are required to use safety
lamps. 1t is the rule of the company
for the miners to place their fuses
ready to be lighted for blasts just be-
fore quitting work each day, and there
are workmen known as 'firemen" who
go through the mine after all the min
ers are out and set off these blasts.
The miners quit work at 4.30 o'clock
this afternoon. 1t takes them about IS
minutes to get out of the mine The
two ''firemen," today, who are sup
posed to have caused the explosion,
shot the blasts about AS o'clock, be-
fore all the miners could get out of the
mine. 1t is supposed that one of the
fuses was defective and resulted in
what is known as the blown blast
The flame shooting out from the

ignited the accumulation of dry coal
duct in the mine. The explosion that
followed shot out of the mouth Of the
mine. and completely wrecked the shed
at the mine entrance. Three men were
killed while standing outside the mine
and two seriously and one fatally in
jured.
This mine has been the scene of two
