Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1902-05-10

On the way home from Springfield
Thursday evening. and shortly after
the train pulled out of the station at
Peoria, boy with an air-gun came
very near wounding at least one of a
party of three Rock Island county
men. DIR. p. II. Vessel, j. b. Oakleaf
and II. y. Weld were sitting together
occupying double seat. Vessel and
Oakleaf occupying window positions.
The boy on the street so fired his air
gun as to strike the window by which
the two Moliners sat. The outside
of the pane of glass was not fractur-
ed, but from the inside of it there flew
a big chip of glass which fortunately
passed between the three men, miss
ing all of them, and deeply imbedding
itself in the woodwork on the other
side of the car. Another fortunate
circumstance was in the fact that the
seats opposite where these three gen
IIemen sat were unoccupied.
