Charles James, Proprietor oI
Shooting Gallery. Shot
Last Night. 4
AFFAIR PURELY ACCIDENTAL
Henry Green, Member OF Dredge
Crew, Picked Up Gun at Full
Cock and Distressing
Accident Follows.

Charles James, a middle -aged man,
who conducts a shooting gallery on
Bond street between Ninth and Tenth,
Is lying at ST. Mary's hospital with a
bullet in his stomach. He was shot
last night about o'clock by young
man named Henry Green. The wound
is pronounced by Dr. Fulton, the at :
tending physician. to be serious one,
0ut the doctor believes James will pull
through unless unexpected compllca-
tons arise.
All of the witnesses TO the shooting,
as well as the principals. agree that
1t was accidental. Green Is n coal
passer on the bar dredge Chinook and
a young man of excellent appearance.
Last evening he went into the gallery
to practice for time. There were
several rifles on the counter there and
Green picked up one of them. James,
meantime. was engaged in loading an
other gun and was in q STOPPING posi-
ton. The rifle which young Green
picked up was at full cock, a circum-
stance which escaped the lad. and his
surprise was great when the weapon
was discharged. simultaneously with
the report of the gun came cry OF
pain from James. toward whom the
rifle was pointing when discharged.
The wounded man was at once ex-
amined by the physician, who ordered
him removed to the hospital. 1t was
found the bullet had entered the groin
and lodged near the neck Of the blad-
der, in a very dangerous location. DR..
Fulton said last evening he had not
yet decided upon removing the bullet.
and that ne probably would not do so
unless he found 1t necessary at later
date. The bullet can be extracted
without much difficulty. James was
resting easily at latest reports last
night.
Young Green was taken into custody
by the police and is being held pend
ing examination Of the affair by the
authorities. He very much regrets the
shooting, which was purely accidental.
and It is unlikely any charge can be
placed against him. He might possibly
be held for criminal carelessness, but
this is unlikely. because of the 'act
that the accident occurred in James
shooting gallery.

The city election last Tuesday
was undoubtedly the quietest affair
of the kind ever held in Scotland.
There was no contest in either
ward either for city Or school

that the vote polled was very light.
Only 90 votes were polled in the
first ward, in the second, and
20 in the third. The city officers
elected were: mayor, Paul Land

''Pekin is said to be the filthiest city

animal life; caravans of stately
camels from Mongolia and Tibet: the
Pekinese cart-a creation of its own.
with no springs. but drawn by sleek
mules in gayly caparisoned harness
with outriders in mushroom hats and
red plImes. the mafoo running along
side or mounted on small donkeys;
coolies without number bearing bur-
dens on their heads or shoulders;
richly adorned sedan chairs bearing
some mandarian or high Chinese Of
fc.al; the biggest Cinnamon riding
the smallest of donkeys with jingling
bells; and through it all, underneath
trd around. swarmed mass OF
Chinese men, women and children;
the Manchu women in gorgeous ap-
parel with their peculiar headdress.
and with faces rough and powdered.

The Ravens.

My eyes arc blind with dust,
My limbs are dull with pain;
But my body must go and after me,
Again-again-again.
They hover and wheel above;
Where l creep on, they fiy,
And with their raucous vaunt of life
They tempt my soul to die.
For the numbness of my heart
And the length / have to go.
The dimness of my starving sight
They know-they know-they know.
But the little spark l hold
Shall light me farther on.
After that CLEAN like far-on stream.
Until that, too, Is gone.
Mirage. mirage, mirage!
But ! say. will not die
For the hoarse despairs that wait and
And 1 creep while they do ny.
No wonder they stoop 80 low;
No wonder they should scoff
With-Ah and All! and beak and claw.
As they let Inc beat them on.
For there Ia no path to see:
But after the Vanished flag

My body strive and lag.
