jackson to report shortly after IL
O'Clock when he heard pistol shot.
He saw Barnett on Eighth street
with grip and a lantern. evidently
on his way TO the yards to go out. He
stopped him aud asked him about the
shooting and Barnett said that some
man had shot at dog. The officer
did not believe II, and demanded that
the grip he opened to see 81 there was

post, and opening the grip aud taxing

Chief Wood Begins Work on the
North Side Fire Station.
Hospital Comitteo and Doctors Hold
Meeting Last Night ct
City Hall.
NOTES ABOUT THE CITY HALL
THE FIRE DEPARTMENTS.

Chief Woods, OF the fire depart ment,
has begun work on the Tenth and Clay
street station and will tear out tho
front, but in new floors aud in fact
remodel the entire building.
The first work to be done In put.
ting down the new floors, and the old
flooring is today being torn up. Chief
Woods is doing the work himself and
oconomizing as much as possible.
There 10 no one who desires to have
the city well equipped in fire fighting
facilities than Chief Woods and he en-
forces every economy possible in or
der to increase the facilities and with
as little expense to the city ss posi-
BILE.
Plans for the new station Mt Tenth
aud Jones streets are being drawn
and as soon ss the committee has the
plans in hand will accept them and
begin work on the building
In regard 10 the new men who Will
BE- added to operate the new depart
ments, Chief Woods stated that a
called meeting Of the board OF police
aud FIRE commissioners would be held
tonight 10 net on this matter, he
thought. The commissioners will ap'
point as many new men ~ are required
by the departments and il romans
with the council to ra,ify the action.
The committee has power to act and
oan recommend the number Il men
to be appointed. but il is said will

to get another pistol.
The shooting created great excite
mept, and attracted quite a crowd.
Captain Joe Woods with men respond
ed to a call from the vicinity. but
found that the trouble was over.
officer Cross escaped injury and Bar
nett was taken to the Illinois hospit-
al. His injuries may prove fatal.
Barnett, who is not much hurt and
doubtless appreciates the fact that he
is in an unpleasant predicament be-
cause of his actions in shooting at an
officer of the law, says that he did
not have gun, and did not shoot
at the officer or anyone else. The
shots fired, he claims, were fired by
some one shooting at dog.
According to his story when the
first shot was fired at dog the officer
stopped him and demanded to sec the
inside of his grip, as it was thought
he did the shooting. He says he was
bending over to open the grip which
was set on the sidewalk and show that
he had nothing but his clothes in it,
when the officer cracked down.
Nobody believes this story, and
there are plenty of witnesses to prove
that the negro did do most of the
shooting. In addition, trainmen say
he always had . pistol, ami several of
them say that they were not surprised
that he finally got into trouble over
it.
The wound is not serious. going
through the arm and through the
flesh under it. The bullet will not
be removed unless Inflammation sets
in, which is not anticipated. 1t is
merely . flesh wound under the arm
pit.
An effcrt to locate it with the X ray
last night was unsuccessful.
