May PrOSecute Alderman.
Now that the probability is that George
Alderman will recover from his self in
fiicted wound with suicidal intent early in
the week is great It may be that he will
have to face a trial for his alleged Grim
inal act. Chief John Briggs said that he
intended to consult with the county at
torney on the subject. In view Of numerous

be warrantable to prevent injury to other
parties Since his recovery Alderman has
maintained that the shot was accidental.
