MOTHER SHOOTS K|DNAPER AT
 LAS VEGAS
Mrs. Gray Effectually Uses Gun On Man Who Breaks into Her Home, But Wound ed Abductor Escapes.

LASyEGAS, Jan. 22.-A man was shot and injured in the chilli parlor on Grand avenue at o'clock this morning, but up until the present time the officers have been unable to find any trace of him. It is presumed that the man was the person registered at the Fl Dorado hotel as Ben HaddoH and that he had entered the establish ment for the purpose of Kidnapping Miss Nina Gray.
 Mrs. Gray was suddenly awakened in the early morning by slight noise and discovered a strange man stealth fly entering the door separating her bed room from the front portion of the restaurant. She had been expecting a visit from some one with the object of getting possession of her child and had a 45-calibre revolver laying on a trunk pulled up beside her bed. She grabbed the gun and hurriedly fired a shot at the figure silhoutted in the doorway and the target disappeared. She sprang from her couch in her night robe and rushed to the door and shot again as the man jumped through the front entrance.
 Mrs. Gray then turned on the lights and telephoned for the officers and Night Policeman Ed Ward, with sev- eral other men, arrived a few minutes later. The intruder had undoubtedly been hit while standing in the en- trance to the bedroom for a trail of blood led to the sidewalk, but was there lost on account of the recent rain. The second shot did not take effect as the bullet was found buried in the frame of the door.
 The officers immediately searched the town and telegraphed to surround ing cities on the line of the Santa Fe, giving a description of Haddox, whom the officers think is the man wanted, and meanwhile a close search Is being made of the city. It is the opinion of the officers that the man was shot in the hand, but as the victim was only about twelve or fifteen feet away when hit by 45-calibre bullet, and no mark can be found on the wall in the line of fire, 1t must have lodged in some more substantial portion of his anatomy and have been carried off with him when he departed.
 The man had forced the lock on the front door of the chilli parlor to gain an entrance into the place. A portion of the lock was swinging loose on the door jam, when examined by Officer Ward, early this porning. Mrs. Gray had anticipated an attack on her home and had announced in court yesterday she would shoot anyone who tried to enter her place of business at either DOT after she had locked up. In spite this fact, the supposed abductor en- ,Gred the home that night.
 A man giving his name as HaddoZ vas arrested yesterday on a warrant sworn out by her, for threatening the tbduction of her daughter, but under he laws of the territory he could not be held on that charge and he was re leased on payment of fire imposed for disorderly conduct. The man is said to have tried to hire a waitress to bring the girl to him, claiming that she was his daughter, and said he wanted to place her in a convent school in California. The man also called at the chili parlors twice and each time demanded to see the girl.
 Mrs. Gray says that her daughter s father has been dead for seven years There is something back of the entire affair for the stranger seems deter mined to get the girl in spite of the risk of being shot or arrested. Mrs
