Albert Thomson, in gambling house
about a week ago. has been pronounced
out Of danger by the attending physi-

in Jail awaiting the consequences of the
wound, has been released and is again
free man. It was a close shave for
Dearman, but he will recover without
any serious after effects from his ex-
perience. The injury was little more
than a flesh wound. The bullet mar
rowly escaped the intestines. Had they
been injured, death would have
inevitably been the result. Mr.. Dear
man Is now able to be up and walk
about and he will probably be as well
as ever in a few days. Mr.. Thomson
was released from Jail on Saturday,
where he had been confined since the
night of the shooting. The jail book
shows that the release was because OF
the refusal Of the injured man to pros
ecute. 1t is understood that the mat
ter will not get into the courts, the
two young men concerned having set
tied their differences.
