Man Alleged to Have Practically
Held Up G. S. Hoover at !
Alexandria.

G. S. Hoover. a coored railway mall
clerk. running between Richmond and
Washington. was shot, though not se-
riously injured as his train was leaxr
Ing Alexandria early yesterday morn
Ing by a man he did not know, and
who later made his escape
According TO the way Hoover tells
the story. he was at work In his car
just as his train was pulling out of
Alexandria when ~ white man entered
and insisted upon gliding South He
was told that he could not ride in the
mail car, and the stranger whipped
out Il pistol and opened fire. The first
shot grazed Hoover.s side and the sec
ond made n slight flesh wound in the
hand. The Intruder then left tho car,
and Hoover did the best he could with
his work until he got to- Guiney's
Station. where he was relieyed-by an
other clerk, Mr.. Smoot who resides
there. 81
Hoover came on to Richmond in his
car, and was treated upon his arrival
here by Dr. Daniel j. Coleman.
Vt is a serious offense to interfere
In any way with United States govern
ment officials when in the discharge Of
their duty and it is more than likely
that strenuous efforts will be made to
apprehend and punish the man who
did the shooting.
