FRED DAY SHOT.
A Toledo Boy the Victim of a.
Band of Cowardly Assassins.

The many friends of Fred Day, sou of
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Day of this city,
were shocked by the news received
Wednesday evening that he had been
shot,
Fred is in the employment of the o.
w. z. q Ry Co. of Portland. The das-
tardly deed was committed by band of
thugs who held up the car upon which
Fred was returning home from his daily
duties.
The first reports were that he was
mortally wounded, but a tele-
gram sent to his mother early Thurs
day morning, contained the statement
thet the wound was not as serious as at
first supposed and there we're bright
hopes for his recovery
The Portland Evening Telegram of
Wednesday gives the following ac-
count, in Fred's own words of the
shooting:
II did nothing to cause the men to
think was going to make break for
liberty" said Day, "and why was shot
is something no one knows. l simply
turned to let the other man pass into
the car, when the one who ordered me
to move, fired the shot.
Il was in awful pain and before |
knew what I was doing, ran down the
aisle to the front platform. l thought
sure they would shoot again, but they
didn't, 1t was the most cruel thing /
ever heard of, when, after wounding
me, they robbed me of every thing of
value had with me.
Zone of the robbers, the one who
searched the passengers in the rear
OF the car, dropped the handkerchief off
| his face just as he reached lady near
me. Hooked at him for fully half
minute, and if ever see him again, /
promise the officers will identify him
| to certainty. His mask was off when
he took my watch. He was tall, yet
quite broadly built man. having a
prominent Roman nose. He had light
hair and complexion, and a mellow,
snappy voice. There is no doubt but
that would know him, if he is ever
captured
Day was operated upon by Company
Surgeon A. e. Rockey aud Dr. l.. T.. r.
vine shortly after 8 o'clock. They
found the bullet, which was 49, -calibre,
entered the right side of the back, about
eight inches from the spine. 1t fract-
ursd the tenth rib and lodged against
the spinal column, traversing about
eight inches of flesh and bone in it's
course. 1t tore piece of cloth from
Days coat, carrying it on its leaden
point the full course. 1t made very
large hole in the flesh. DR.. Rockey
has The bullet in his possession.
The wound is not serious, and in all
probability the boy will recover" said
DR.. Rockey this afternoon.
Fred's mother went out to Portland
today to nurse him and be with him
should change come for the worse.
She has the sympathy of the entire
community.

The slander case of Mary White VS..
Walter Szelaszkiewicz, which has been
figuring in the courts the past year OF
two, was finally disposed of in Judge
Georges court Monday--the jury de-
Gliding in favor of the defendant, Szelas.
zEiewicz. The general opinion is that
the case should never have been per
mittedI to come to trial. McFadden &
Jones defended the case.
Larkie Logan and Louie Fuller in.
dulged in a little amusement Monday
night and Larkie carved Louie some
just how deep we are unable to learn.
The grand jury promptly took action
in the case but decided that no particu.
lar harm had been done and failed to
find a true bill. Larkie and Louie
were just "funnin'" anyway and the
county is saved unnecessary expense
as the case, had it come to trial or been
continued, would undoubtedly have
had the usual ending.
The grand jury in the case of Lin.
coin County vs.. l.. E. Dole found two
indictments and Mr.. Dole was ar.
raigned before Judge George Tuesday
morning for trial. He pleaded guilty to
the charge of selling spirituous liquors
by the bottle, but insisted that he was
innocent of dispensing the same in
homeopathic doses and his Honor i'm
posed fine of 5000 because Dole
had neither sold 10y the drink OF
gallon, but had simply adhered to the
"happy medium" in catering to his
customers. The other Indictment was
thrown out upon the prisoner pleading
guilty to the first count.

A Streak OF Bad Luck.

Last Saturday morning about
one o'clock, Mr.. aud Mrs. d. Ii.
Myers of Knobsvllle, in buggy
drawn by one horse, started to
make trip to Waynesboro. The
morning air was bracing, and
they were enjoying the drive very
much, when just this side of Uu-
gers distillery, on the MERGERS.
burg pike, without any warning,
the king bolt broke, the front
axle went out, and the body of
the buggy dropped to the ground
pitching the occupants out over
the dashboard. Mrs. Myers was
painfully bruised about the face
and scalp, while Mr.. Myers was
dragged several yards before he
brought the horse under control.
They went on down to the Gap
and got new king bolt, and no
farther experience until about
mile this side of Waynesboro on
their return Monday morning,
when the shafts came loose at one
side and dropped on the horses
heels. A run off and a general
smash up was averted only by
the prompt action of the driver.
After repairing that, they reach.
ed Shady Grove when the other
shaft holder broke off and, down
went the shaft. This time there
would have been trouble if the
horse had not by this time be.

haps aud stopped and rested
while Davy repaired the damage,
They passed through McCon-
nellsburg about two O'Clock on
their way home, and as far as
we know had no further trouble.

Erastus Bard Deranged.

AS the result of a hearing in the
office of Attorney John p. Sipes
in this place on Monday, which
lasted several hours, Commission
ers James Henry, DR.. A. d. Dal-
hey, and John p. Sipes Esq, found
that Abraham Erastus Bard, aged
about 29 years, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Bard, of Belfast town
ship, was mentally deranged
Though not severely, of the type
of insanity known as Melancholia,
and recommended that Mr.. Bard
be sent to the Pennsylvania State
Lunatic Hospital or to some SINH
lar institution, for treatment. A
commitment will probably be Is
sued by the Court this week and
early next week Mr.. Bard will be
sent away.
Until few months ago Mr..
Bard was regarded as a most prom
ising young man-peaceable, gen
teel and courteous, he enjoyed the
esteem of all his friends. For
some time he had been employed
as Il motorman on street car line
in Pittsburg. About last Christ
mas he had an attack of typhoid
fever, and returned to his fathers
home last April. Since his return
his family have noticed that he
was not the lively, vivacious boy
he was before he went away; but
there was nothing especially re-
markable in his conduct until Oc-
tober 30th, when at Aaron Hess's
sale, he, without any apparent pro
vocation, violently assaulted his
cousin VIM. Bard. For this he
was arrested, and he gave bail for
his appearance at court. Nothing
further occurred until at Uriah
Kline's sale last Thursday, he again
assaulted Mr.. VIM. Bard. He was
then arrested and committed to
jail with the result before stated.
