SHOOTING AT ROusE's POINT.
Pilot OF Tug Shot In the Clinton House and
Probably MOrtaiiy Wounded.

OGDENsBUR0, n Y, Sept. 23.-Roy
Rockwell, a pilot of the tug Defender,
was shot and probably MORALLY wounded
at the Clinton House, Rouse's Point yester-
day afternoon. The affair is shroudcd
In mystery and no one is able to explain
the cause of tho shooting. One story is
that Rockwell was at the hotel for dinner,
that the trouble began in the dining room
and the men went from there to the office,
where the shooting took place. II is al
legged that the fifteen-year son Of Pro-
prietor Phelps of the hotel did the shooting
but it is not known whether 1t was inten-
tional or not.
Another report is that Rockwell was
attempting TO take the revolver away from
young Phelps when it was accidently dis
charged. The only thing positiv, ~ known
is that Rockwell was shot, the bullet
entering the left lung just over the heart.
The wounded man was removed to the hos
pital. No arrests have been made yet
and it is not known what action will be
taken.
