Eyes," said Mr. Carnegie. you

James Tierney Tells Queer
Story to Account for the
Presence Of Wound in Hip

With revolver bullet buried in his
hip and suffering intense pain from
the wound, but refusing to give any
detailed statement of how the shoot
ing occurred, James Tierney. 1850 Ell
lis street, formerly the proprietor Of
a saloon at Post and Williams streets,
drove to the Central Emergency Hos
pital shortly before midnight last night
in search of surgical attention.
Tierney was accompanied in a hack
by two men who refused to give their
names. They would say nothing of the
affair. The wounded man went i'm
mediately to DR.. r. G. TilIman, to
whom he stated that he had been shot
but did not wish to make any explana-
ton. 1t was found that the bullet en-
tered his left hip, causing serious but
not dangerous wound, and that the
wound had already been dressed.
When pressed by the hospital au-
thorities Tierney stated that he had
been accidentally shot at a dinner
party with about twenty friends in an
Oakland restaurant and that his
wound was the result of realistic eff
fort on the part of a story-teller to
Illustrate his point. The entertainer,
according to Tierney, fiourished the re-
volver at the Interesting point in his
tale and pulled the trigger without
realizing that the weapon was loaded
Tierney, however, refused to give
the name of the man who shot him.
the names of any others who were in
attendance at the alleged party, or the
name Of the restaurant where the
shooting occurred. He failed to account
for the fact that he had entered the
hack in which he reached the hospital
at the corner of Ellis and Powell
streets instead of at the ferry depot,
or to explain how the wound came to
be dressed. The police believe that a
mystery turks behind the affair.
Tierney was sent to the Lane Hospi-
tai for an X-ray examination.

CARNEGIE ASSISTS
MRS. HARTJE.
Furnishes Coin to Defend
the Pittsburg Woman in
Sensational Divorce Case
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

PITTSBURG, Sept. 9.-The fight
made by Mrs. Mary Hartje against her
husband, who sued her for divorce, is
said to have been financed by Andrew
Carnegie. This accounts for the large
wads of money displayed by Mrs.
Hartje's detectives and by Thomas Ma
dine, the coachman, who was named as
correspondent.
Andrew Carnegie wrote to his friend,
Thomas Miller, that he wanted to spend
the money to defend Mrs. Hartje. for
the sake of American womanhood."
Mary Scott Hartje is grand -daugh-
ter of the late Thomas A. Scott, once
president of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
John Scott, father of Mrs. Hartje, and
Andrew Carnegie were toys together.
The father of the fair litigant re-
ouested Thomas NJ Miller, Carnegie S
old-time partner and friend, to write
to Carnegie and request him to place
one of his old workmen on the pension
list. as the workingman was in need.
Miller wrote to Carnegie as requested,
mentioning the name Of John Scott
as pleading for the pensioner. Carne-
gle promptly replied to Miller's letter
by having the case of the workingman
investigated by his local agent.
Carnegie wrote that he had known
the members of the Scott family for
several generations and he begged to
be given the privilege. for the sake OF
American womanhood, of contributing
toward the defense of Mrs. Hartje.
