HAVING A HARD TIME.
Soon as Negro Got Out of Hospital
Was Before the Mayor.

Fred Hooper, a negro who came
very near leaving this world on Christ
mas Day, as the result of being shot.
no doubt thinks he is having an ex-
tremely hard time. for no sooner than
he got out of the hospital a colored
roman with whom he had some diff
Guilty on the day he vas shot, had
him indicted for disorderly conduct.
Hooper was before Mayor Springer
or yesterday but the evidence show
ed the offense committed by him to
have been of a most trivial character
and in view of this and the negroes
condition, Mayor Springer dismissed
the case. The negro was so weak he
could scarcely get in the court room.
Some negroes are extremely hard to
kill and the record Of patients treated
at the James Walker Memorial Hos
pital during the past year will bear
out this statement. Several negroes
have recently been sent to the hos
pitaI wounded in such a dangerous
manner as for no hope to be enter
tanned of their recovery, but they al
almost invariably recover.
Hooper was in about as bad shape
as a man often gets to recover. He
had received several bad gashes on
a1e head and had also been shot twice.
one bullet entering his left breast Just
below the heart. and the other bull
let entering the abdomen. The negro
was before the Mayor as soon as be
was dismissed from tho hospital.

For some minutes considerable excite
ment reigned last night in the vicinity
of Fourth and Hanover streets. The
excitement was caused by a drunken
negro ~assaulting Mr.. H. /. Peterson
with a knife and Mr.. Peterson drew
his pistol and shot the negro, the bal
entering the left side Of his breast, in
f1icting a dangerous n what may
prove a fatal wound. The shooting
ccurred about 8 o'clock.
Mr.. Peterson, who lives at the corner
of Third n Hanover streets, had
started to the Fourth street market to
purchase some oysters and when he
reached Fourth and Hanover streets he
met Tony BLACK, colored who was drunk
and the whiskey had made him a per-
feet devil. He had his knife in his
people and when Mr.. Peterson, who
was accompanied by his brother, Mr..
Cleveland Peterson, came along the
street the negro attacked them. The
men were taken unawares and before
they could get out of the way the ne
gro had cut Mr.. cleveland Peterson on
the hand and made a slash at Mr. H.
l.. Peterson cutting through his clothing
and inf1icting a Slight wound on the
chest.
Mr.. Ii. L. Peterson had a pistol and
as 0 as he saw that the negro was
cong all he could to stab him, he drew
MS pistol and fired, the entering
the negro's left breast. This did not
stop the negro, who again started af-
ter Mr.. Peterson. Not wishing to
shoot the negro again, Mr.. Peterson
started across the street in a run, the
negro following him. He had not gone
far when Policeman H. P. Merritt
caught the negro and placed him I'M
der arrest. BY this time he was be-
coming very weak from the wound and
could not have gone much farther with
out falling.
The negro was sent to the James
walker Memorial hospital at once. The
bullet has not yet been removed n
the location Of it is SO dangerous that
"a ~SAIo JIG ollllSulL w ~ 80
thought that the bullet graZed the left
lung. The negro was doing fairly well
last night with some chance OF recov-
cry. His greatest danger is that he
may Develop pneumonia.
Immediately after the shooting MI.
Peterson gave himself up to Officer NJ.
A. Jones and he 'Mas carried to the city
hall and placed under a hundred dollar
bond for his appearance before Mayor
Springer tomorrow at IL o'clock.
The shooting seems to have been in
self defense and from all accounts Mr..
Peterson did what any other man
would have done under similar cir
cumstances. The negro had attempted
to cut several people who had passed
along the street, but the two Petersons
were the only oneS that he was able
TO reach.
Mr.. H. Z. Peterson holds a position
with the Pole ana Tie Company as an
e..gi1eer.
