BOY SHOT.

Considerable excitement was caus Z"
near the corner OF Prince and Union
streets about noon yesterday by Inc
shooting of Elmer Violet, tfteen,yesr-
old youth, living at No. III Pflnce
street by George Nails, jr., boy one
wear older. who lives at 20. 7OI Sou'h
Lee street. The weapon used "ss .
cat rife and from the evidence IN the
case it seems that young Nslls's act was
not malicious. The latter was WalKing
on Union street when Violet with some
other bows acccsled him in a spirit OF
boyish pleasantly, and finally remarked
"Heres a leave FIRE away you are no good'
anyhoH" -and after some further IN,
ter change of words held up his hand
asa target. Nails, according to his
statement, discbr ed the gun win no
intention of hr- Violet, who was
acme distance away, suppOsing the bullet
would strike house on the opposite side
of the street. but Violet, unfortunately,
ran in an opposite direction from that
Nails supposed he would take, and, 10
Nalls's own words, iran into the bullet. "
The ball, which was of ~ caliore,
entered Violetfs breast, near the neck,
making a serious and dangerous wound,
and he sank to the ground With groan.
As s9on as the report Of the shooting
became circulated people ran from every
direction, among whom were many
anxious parents OF children who were on
The streets. no one at first seeming to
know who had been shot. ln The mean
fine Violet was removed TO the Alex
sndris hospital. where Dr. Walter A.
Warfeld and DIR. Samuel B. Moore at.
tended his injuries. They have not been
able TO locate the bullet, and while the
hog's condition is not critical, 1t is said
that complications may arise. Chief
Goods, accompanied by Officers Hender-
son aud Gill, went in different directions
in search of Nails after the report OF the
shooting had reached the station house
The bow had returned to his home where
he was found and taken in custody.
lister he was released 10 the sum oil 5000
for his appearance before the Police
Court this mOrnihg, Mr. John +. hobin'
son becoming his surety. When the case
was called this morning the examination
was postponed in order to await the result
of VioletPs injury. The injured youth
is son of Mr. Charles A. Violet
whose home is at 12l Prince street,
short distance from the scene OF thu
shooting, and Nails is a con Of Mr. Qeorg'
r. Nails, an engineer in the employ o.

Company, who lives at 7O5 south Ls'
street. Young Nails is employed In th'
Office of the Alexandria Fertilizer an,

Nails was using as plaything was Pur
chased from the factory for 70 cents
Many of these rifles, are owned b

should be a sufficient warning to tn

These patriotic capitalists have been saying
all along that they do not want Protection on
their own account, but because it enables them
TO better the condition of the American laborer
by paying him high wages.
At this last meeting of the Association, these
patriotic capitalists declared their purpose to
raise among themselves a fund of ST 500 900
to fight the Labor Unions.
Thus they let the cat out of the bag. Pro-
tective Tariffs give Our patriotic capitalists
a clear grab of two thousand million dollars
per year, over and above eight per cent inter
est upon the capital invested over and above
wages and cost Of material
Yet these patriots must raise a fund to
fight Labor Unions.
