1t Is Thought That He Wants
to Bury Hatchet with His
BrOther-in-laW.
SHOOTING SUNDAY NIGHT
RoBT. SEINE SHOT ORA WARE
WHILE HE SAT AT THE HOME
OF SElNE'S FATHER-NO ONE
SERIOUSLY HURT.

Ora Ware, a colored man, who was
shot by Robert Seine also colored
Sunday evening, at the home of Sidney
Seine, called at police headquarters
yesterday afternoon for the purpose OF
seeing his assailant. Ware had both
hands bandaged, but otherwise did not
appear to be any worse for his expert
ence with the business end of a shot
gun, held in the hands of an enraged
man Ware would give no reason
why he wished to see Seine, and in the
absence of Superintendent Bailey, the
man was not given permission to Wis
it the jail 1t is thought that Ware
wishes to bury the hatchet'' with his
brother-in-law, and if he refuses to
prosecute him such an action would
create but little surprise.
The shooting was a result OF
bad blood that had existed
for some time between Seine, and his
brother-in-law, Ora Ware. Seine shot
the latter Sunday evening with sim
gle barrel shotgun, through a window,
as Ware sat in the kitchen of the
home of his fatfter-in-law, Sidney
Seine. who resides at 713 South Thir-
teenth street Ware received a greater
part of the charge in his hands. Fly
ing glass from the broken window
and the chimney of a lamp, which was
extinguished by the discharge of the
gun, cut Seine's baby daughter in the
back of the head and also cut the
face and head of Wares young daugh-
ter Seine after the shooting return
ed the gun to the neighbor he borrow
ed t-of, then went to police head
quarters and gave himself up. He will
be arraigned in police court this
morning, charged with assault and
battery. A more serious charge was
not placed against Seine owing to
extenuating circumstances.
Ware is a police character, and it
is alleged, has refused to support his
wife and child. Mrs. Ware and her
baby have been living at her fathers
home for some time past, and it is
stated Ware had frequently been or
dered to stay away from the house.
Sunday evening Ware called, and
while sitting in the kitchen with sew
eraI members of his wife's family he
called Mrs. Robert Seine vile name.
Seine left the house, and going to the
home of neighbor borrowed shot
gun, then returned to avenge himself
on his brother-in-law. Seine walked
into the back yard of the house, and
seeing Ware seated in chair, reclin-
ing against a wall, be shot at him
through the window. The charge from
the gun tore through Wares hands,
extinguished a lamp on the kitchen ta-
BILE and swept most of the table ware
to the floor The room was thrown
into instant darkness and a scene of
wild confusion ensued. When the ex-
citement subsidized Ware discovered
that he had been shot and he rushed
across the street to a neighbor's
house, where he telephoned for DR..
Norrell and then had his hands ban
daged The two injured children were
attended by Dr. Bramkamp. When
Seine arrived at police headquarters
he stated that he had shot Ware and
asked TO be locked up. To the neigh
Dor who loaned him the gun he stated
that he wanted it ito shoot dog"
Friends of the Seine family state that
the primary motive for Seines deed
was the alleged bad treatment of
Ware toward his wife, a sister to
whom Seine was greatly attached.
Ware was arrested about a year
ago for associating with Eta McCon-
louge. The police state that he is a
bad character. Seine is we'll known
young colored man of excellent repu-
tation. Last summer he played third
base for the local colored team. the
Giants, and was one of the best play
ers of the club Ware is painfully but
not seriously injured. The condition
of the two children is not serious.
