The Unfortunate Outcome of
Shooting by Prowl-
ers.
SOLDIERS RETURN FIRE
Post Mortem and Inquest
Held Yesterday
Morning.

The military outposts of the city
had trouble with suspicious charac-
ters at two points Saturday night.
At 1890 the guard at the l. C. depot
saw two men slipping about the
lines. one of them in a crouching po-
sition, who when called upon to halt
ran away. Shots were fired and con-
siderable excitement created: Par
ties living in the vicinity say five
shots as from a pistol were fred in
quick succession, followed by three
shots and after short interval three
more. During the shooting a color
ed girl named Lucille Bibary, who
lived on the bluff east of the rail-
road at the foot Of 18th street, was
struck in the side by a bullet and fa-
tally wounded while in her room.
She died at 6 o'clock Sunday even
ing. 1t is not known from whose
gun the stray bullet was fired.
Later in the night, about 2 a. m.
the guard at the City Light Co.'S.
power-house, near the L. & N.
bridge, saw three men approaching,
who refused to halt but opened fire
on the guard. The soldier returned
the fire and the men fled in the dark
ness and made their escape. So far
as known no one was injured by the
shots.
The public should bear in mind
that the soldiers are here for busi-
ness and that the power of the State
is behind them. People who prowl
about the outposts during the night |
are liable to cause trouble to them
selves and other people as well.
A post mortem was held ae11I
o'clock by DR.. Spears, surgeon of
Co. H., First Regiment, assisted by |
City Physician DR.. j. w. Harmed, |
DR.. Paul Keith, who attended the
woman, Drs. r. l.. Woodard and J
B. Jackson. Much difficulty was ex-
perienced in locating the bullet. 1t
under the left shoulder
blade. shattered the fourth rib,
ranged downward through the low
er part of the left lung and was lost
in the cavity of the stomach. 1t was
found after the woman's abdomen
had been opened. 1t was steel bull
let from Krag. JOrgenson rifle, the
kind used by Co. H. 1t is more than
an inch long and somewhat smaller |
than a lead pencil. The point end |
was much battered, showing that it |
was what is called "richochet"
ball; that is, one that has struck al
solid substance aid has been defect
ed from its course. 1t evidently
struck car wheel or iron rail and
glanced upward and into the house
on the hill above. 1t went through
the window facing and struck the
girl, who was standing in front of
the fire.
The girls name is variouslygiven
as Bible. Bibee and Bibary. She
was % years old and very small for
an adult, being only 4 feet 7 inches
in height. The post mortem diselos-
ed that she would have become a
mother in about months.
Immediately after the post MOI =
tenn, Coroner Allensworth held an
inquest.

the American stage. One critic said
of the play; 1T is as sweetiy natural
AS the breath of the fields, the good
folks who move in its scenes are real,
and their honest humor and every

The thousands of readers of the
book will be interested to know how
she novel has been utilized for
stage purposes, and what scenes
serve as backgrounds for these hon

simple. ordinary lives. The first act
shows the interior of Benoni Hills
grocery store. including the village
pRstofice at Mason's corner, where
for one thing the scrimmage between
Quincy Adams Sawyer and the town
bully, Bob Wood, takes place. Act
III has two scenes, the first of which
represents the Cross. Roads between
Eastboro and Mason's Corner, and
The second the sittin' room at the
PpsnSm farm. The third act is the
Pettengill farm yard, where the fa-

Paltengill homestead during a rous

WE WONDER

If Buffalo Bill thought that Water bury money was the tainted kind last Friday, when he kept the people waiting from 2 until o'clock before he started his performance and then picked up his tent at 6:30 and skid dooed out of town after advertising to give us another performance in the evening? We'll, poor Bill, as great a man as he is, must take ms bumps once in while and he got them the day before he arrived here. We heard the buffalo got at the cof- fee and ate it all, and the men could not find the grounds. That was a good joke. But we hear when the canvas men told Bill their pay (SS per week and grub) was too small, he couldn't see the point and they struck. But that was carrying the Joke too far, and when he offered more pay they said his money was tainted" because " 'taint" enough. That settled it and he couldn't do as he advertised. We'll, last week we couldn't do as we advertised. We only had half enough of those butter crooks to satisfy our trade, but we'll see you later about them.

Dwight Gore. of Weston, 0re., for

successfully operated upon Tuesday
morning at st. Mary's hospital, Walla
Walla, says the Weston Leader. A
piece OF bone the size of dollar was
removed from the skull aud a silver
plate inserted to protect the brain.
Since boyhood the young man has
been an occasional sufferer from epi
lepsy, and upon examination the hos
pital surgeons decided hat his trou-
BILE was due to pressure upon the
brain from small piece Of the skull
bone on the right side of the head.
He rallied niely from the operation
and his present condition is enourag
Ing. His Earenst accompanied him to
Walla Walla, and returned Wednes-
day, feeling very hopeful. His father,
S. l.. Gore, brought back the piece of
skull, and marks on the lower side
plainly indicate an old fracture,
which must have resulted from a fall
nearly IA years ago, the period during
which he has been afflicted. The sur
geons are confident that they have
found the true seat of the trouble,
and that complete recovery will re-
suit. The patient is already allie to
sit up, and will return home within a
week or ten days.
