THE WRONG MAN.
Appealed to by Bucks Hill Man Who
 Wanted Horse Shot.

Henry Atwood Of the town store has had many strange requests made of him during his experience with public affairs. but the oldest of all and one which he positively refused to comply with was submitted to him by Frederick Hoedke of Bucks Hill, who handed him letter from Dr Bland, stating that MT Hoedke is the owner of q horse which it would be an act of charity to shoot and asking MT Atwood to do the job.d When MT Atwood read the note he laughed and said that he hadn't fired shot ia years and didn't think he could hit a horse now. Come to think 1t over it seems there was some mistake 1n the whole matter, the man referred to by Dr Bland being Humane Agent Gillette. Mr Hoedke was instructed to call at. the new court house on Leavenworth street. where he, would find MT Gillette. dead shot and a man who takes delight in such frol1c as putting lead into the heads of an finals that are past their labor.
