BESSIE POOR AIM
Thanks to It, Sam Anderson Is Not
a Badly Perforated
Corpse.
He Had Displeased Her and She Lost
No Time in Appealing to
Arms.

But for the poor craftsmanship OF Bes-
sic Parry colored. who resides on Wash
ington avenue S, Sam Anderson, also COLI
sored, would be a dead man to-day. The
woman fired three shots at the man
shortly after g. o'clock last night but
none Of the bullets had further effect
than to frighten the man badly.
Anderson, the Perry woman and sew
eral others We're drinking in a saloon near
Washington and Sixth avenue S last night
when dispute arose. Anderson offended
the woman and she quietly drew a huge
revolver from the folds OF her dress and
fired at him, point blank. The bullet few
wide OF its mark, but Anderson made a
dash for the door The woman followed
and fired two more shots as he was fleeing
down the street. One of these cut the dust
at Anderson,s heels while the other
whistled viciously past his head.
AS soon as Anderson turned the street
corner, the woman walked calmly back
into the room where her frightened COM
panions sat. She cody wiped the smok-
ing weapon upon the sleeve Of her dress
and remarked that Anderson would not
trouble her any more. Her companions
took the revolver away from her and a lit
tie later she left the place and has not
been seen since.
Meanwhile Anderson made his way to
police headquarters, where he told of the
attempt made upon his life. Two de-
tectives were detailed to investigate the
affair and went to the place where the
shooting occurred. They could not find
the woman but secured the revolver
from the man who had disarmed her.
The weapon contained three empty
chambers Anderson refuses to prosecute
the woman, as he acknowledges that he
was the aggressor in the quarrel. 81 z

COULDN'T BE HELPED
Designers Of Great Northern Bridge Reply
to Criticisms From the
55 University,

g The recent criticisms concerning the
new bridge across the Great Northern
tracks on Fourteenth Avenue S. E., are
not considered just by, the designers of
the structure. It has been charged that
the bridge spoils the view Of the new
gateway of the University campus. The
original design was made by an alumnus
OF the university and he did everything in
his power to make it attractive The
situation of the university book store, he
says, made it impossible. to do away with
the superstructure. Had the bridge been
made higher and the supports placed be-
Meath 1t would have made drainage into
the store and also have doubled the cost
of it's construction. AS it is the bridge
cost $4,000.
One of the designers said that the per-
sons who are criticizing the bridge might
turn their efforts to better account by
preventing the erection of new business
block directly opposite the main entrance
to the campus This he claims will do
more to mar the beauty Of the new APP
proach than the heavy iron work Of the
bridge. Unless something is done by
those who are spending their time and
money to beautify the campus a book
store will be erected there during this
summer.

A FIGHT WITH A MANIAC.
Deputy Sheriff 10th Captures an IN.
fortunate Who Was Heavily
Armed.

Standing over an uncovered sewer hole
in Plymouth avenue N basement armed
with a murderous dirk and a huge mon
key wrench, John Cannon, wild eyed and
savage, stood yesterday afternoon and
challenge al lcomers. When his attention
was allowed to wander from mortal oom-
bat and the possibility Of splitting gore, he
watched cautiously the edges of the open
ing in the floor.
II am the father Of Christi he NUT
tered from time to time. Here all these
years people have been wondering about
and looking for the father and am it.
I have always been it and always will
be-" ttE@2
oh, yes. Of course he would an
nounce. But wonder why those angels
don't come up out sof this water. have
been waiting and waiting for them. Yes,
yes, want them to come. Why, of course,
| DO. I want to put two gold eyes in one
OF them and for the other have a new
leg, and j should think they would come .
That was what Deputy Sheriff 10th had
to tackle. A complaint Of insanity had
been made against Cannon. and the deputy
was there to take him to JAIL The officer
stood on one side of the hole and the de-
mented man on the other and these rela-
tive positions were maintained for a. long
time. Cannon was simply holding the
fortress while the man with the star did
not fancy mixing with the dirk or the
monkey wrench.
After resorting to several forms Of STRAIT
egy, the deputy finally went to the center
In the sixth round with a determined
look upon his countenance. He spared
for wind while the wrench wielder also
played waiting game. At last the op-
portunity offered and 10th made a grab
for the knife and clinched. tQueensbury
rules We're not enforced and the officer
finally landed a stiff upper cut which
made Cannon groggy. The advantage was
followed up and the insane man finally
forced to the ropes. Both contestants
We're slightly the worse for wear and Can
non is now behind the bars of the coun-
ty jail while the officer is resting up for
his next go.
