MOTIVE A MYSTERY.
Assaiiapt Of Csprnin Markiin nj Fort

"'sf
Ell RENO. Okla. Dec. 2i.-No motive
has yet been found for the shooting NJ
Fort Reno Of Captain Edward A.
Macklln. Captain Mackiin was so
much improved that the hospital phys.
clans said he would recover The no
gro who shot Macklin Is still nj large.
The days developments served only
20 add 10 the mystery Of the shooting.
Captain Macklin was not allowed 10
talk. Other officers at the fort were
loath 10 believe that the negro who did
the shooting was one of the discharged
soldiers who sought revenge The tes-
timony Of Macklin In the Brownsville
AFFAIR shows that he did not place the
blame for IL upon the members OF his
company. One motive might be rob
berry. Another supposition Is that OF
revenge growing out Of the death Of a
member Of Macklin's company. who
fell out OF the ranks during a practice
march a few days ago and was found
next day frozen 10 death
Captain Macklin was not harsh 10 his
men. He has reputation both here
and ut Fort Leavenworth. Kan, for
kind treatment
The condition OF Captain MacklIn has
improved and recovery Is assured. The
negro has not been arrested. nor do the
detectives In the case seem to have any
positive knowledge Of the mans identi.
ty or his whereabouts. II is believed
he took train ut Darlington to which
point his trail was followed by blood.
hounds.
A hat of the Twenty-fifth infantry
found at the rear OF Captain Mack.
Inns porch undoubtedly was dropped
by the negro. This is by no means
conclusive that the man who shot
Macklln was soldier. These hats
can be found I'm the ash heaps of the
garrison and in the secondhand stores
at FL Reno.
Many men find certain pleasure in
wearing discarded army paraphernalia.
There is still difference of opinion as
to the clothing worn by the negro
Captain Macklin is unable to tell what
the man Wore. A woman servant has
an idea that his garments were the col.
or of the army fatigue uniform.
