ing the arrest and taking the prisoner to
the first precinct station
When tho prisoner reached the station
it was discovered that he had been shot
through the arm and was bleeding pro-
fusely, and he was sent to the Emergency
Hospital to have his wound dressed 1t
is regarded as possible that the man was
shot by officer Gibson, as he fired one SHOT
at the fleeing man in order to Brighten him.
On the other hand, 1t is believed by some
that the wound was received before in the
alteration between the men in the lumber
yard. The wound Is a slight one
Laubscher is a Waterman in the lumber
yard, and 1t is understood that the trouble
occurred in connection with his duties in
that capacity. The alteration grew hot,
and Laubscher pulled a revolver on the
other man. The one who did the shooting
ran when the police went after him. and
they chased him through b street before
