-Proprietor Catches the Man Who
 Fired RevoIver--No Serious Results
 Expeeted From the Chiefs Wounds.
 Meriden, Aug. 26-Police Chief Charles B. Bowen was shot in the shoulder while raiding a saloon on the West Side this afternoon, but is not se- riously injured. The assailant, James Missita, was caught in the room where the shooting occurred, and is now held on the charge of assault with intent to kill. Chief Bowen entered the liv- ing apartments over E. M. Dionnos sa- loon. where he found a dozen or more Italians seated around table. It was during the search for liquor that the chief was wounded. He stopped to pick up a bottle of beer near a bed- room, when one of the men in the room fired two shots at range of less than ten feet One bullet went wide, land ing in the ceiling, but the second shot struck the officer in the left arm, and the lead passed through his shoulder The chief drew his revolver, and aimed in the direction from which the shot came, but the smoke was so thick he feared he would kill an innocent party, so he replaced his pistol and rushed at the Italians,
 The proprietor caught the Italian who fired the shots and held him until the chief and Patrolman Burke handcuffed him. Bowen went into the street, and sent in a call for the patrol wagon and the police reserves. Eight men were placed under arrest, the proprietor, charged with violation of the liquor law, six for frequenting the place on Sunday, and the man who tried to kill the chief.
 Chief Bowen remained on duty until late in the evening against his pllysi- clans advice. No serious results are anticipated from the wound. The bull let was found In the officers stocking Chief Bowen Is well known in military circles, having served as Captain of Company l, Second regiment, for many years, and he served in the Spanish American war as captain in the First Connecticut volunteer regiment.
