FIVE SHOTS He ARD
TWO MEN INJURED IN STREET
ROW LAST NIGHT.

a revolver and several bricks were the
weapons used In an alteration at 9TH and
c streets southwest last evening, and the
result of the trouble was the sending of
two men to the Emergency Hospital-Ernest
Cant with a fractured skull and in a
serious condition. and Joseph Hillman with
gunshot wound in the arm Both of
these men are under the custody of the
police department. each being charged with
making an assault on the other. Hillman
was released from the hospital today and
was committed to Jail from the Police
Court. Cant is still confined in the hos
pital in serious condition.
Luther Johnson and Richard Hawkins
were locked Up this morning in connection
with the same trouble, and charges of as
sault on Ernest Cant are on the blotter of
the fourth precinct against them. 1t is ex-
pected they will be committed to jail to-
morrow to await the outcome of the in
juries to Cant.
Cant Hlllman, Johnson, Hawkins and
one or two others were together when the
disturbance began. They had been at the
theater. and there, It is said, had a DIS
pute over crap game which they had pre-
viously engaged IN. AS they were return
ing home they continued the dispute At
Tth and c streets southwest Cant, 1t Is
alleged, drew a revolver from his pocket.
The sight of the gun caused the others to
make a scramble for some bricks and
stones that were in the street. Which OF
the party threw the first stone could not
be learned by the police, but the throwing
of the missiles was the signal for opening
fire from the revolver. The police say five
chambers of the revolver were enDtied in
quick succession. Only one Of the shots.
SO far as the police could learn took effect.
that one striking Hillman in the arm and
inflicting painful wound.
The firing OF the first shot was witnessed
by a large crowd of people on the street
at the time. between 5 and 6 o'clock last
evening. but there was an immediate scat
tering In all directions, the pedestrians
seeking alleys, side streets and stores in
an endeavor TO get under shelter. The
street was deserted In a few seconds.
There were thres who did not run, and
they saw the danger of allowing such
man about on the streets. Policeman Corn
well of the sixth precinct, who was passing
ar the time. and two citizens William
Digney and NJ. Waters. approached the man
with the gun. The citizens were nearer
themselves. The officer arrived soon after
ward, placed Cant under arrest. and he
was turned over to Policeman Hilton of the
fourth precinct. as Policeman Cornwell be-
Ionged 10 another section of the city. 1t
was discovered that he was suffering from
a wound, and he was sent from the station
to the Emergency Hospital, where the frac-
tured skull was treated. 1t is expected he
will be in condition to be released from the
hospital within few days, unless serious
developments arise.
All the parties will be held until further
investigation can be made. Precinct De-
tecttye Reinhard of the fourth precinct has
the case IN charge.

MAY ANNUL CONTRACT.
Controversy Between Commissioners
and New York Firm.

After considerable controversy with John
A. Mead & Co. of New York. who were
awarded the contract for construction of
coal discharging, weighing and handling
equipment at the sewerage disposal plant,
the Commissioners have recommended that
Mead & Go. be informed that work on the
pumping station is being delayed because
of their failure to carry out their contract,
and that unless prompt action is taken
within five days from the date OF letter
to be written TO them order will be issued
annuIling the contract.
It seems that Mead & Co. were the sue
cessful bidders for the coal handling equip
ment and the price fixed by contract was
SIT lbs. The controversy which has delayed
the work has grown out of the claim made
by Mead & Co. that certain structural ma
terial was not included IN the specifications.
