Miss Lucille Gayle, While Walk ing Along Sidewalk, is h.
 jured by Pistol Bullet
TWO OFFICERS FIRING
 AT EACH OTHER WILDLY
Marshall, Who Fired the Shot Which Struck Miss Gayle, Now Tells How Sorry He Is Over
 the Occurrence.

A young lady while walking along the wounded by bullet from the hand of a street fighter. Miss Lucille Gayle, the daughter of the well-known plumber, young lady of about r years. was the unfortunate one. The pistol was in the hand of Deputy Sheriff Jim Marshall. who was shooting at Constable Will Reeves, near the corner of Third avenue and Twentieth street.
 Miss Gayle had just stepped out of the Rubenstein Jewelry store and was walking down Third avenue, when the pistol shot rang out. She ran out in the street. wounded, swerved and ran into the jewelry store, fainting in the arms of another young lady, who was making a purchase. When she was brought to consciousness by water dashed in her faces she gasped, "I am shot" where upon q physician was called, who found the bullet had entered the calf of the leg, passing through the feshy part with out breaking any bones.
 She was carried to St. Vincent's hos pital in the ambulance of Lige Loy. where the wound was dressed and pro- nounced not dangerous. The point of deep concern to citizens was that a young girl should have been innocently shot down on the streets.
 Facts About the Shooting.
 The facts in the shooting are that Dep uty Sheriff Marshall was standing about halfway up the steps leading into the Allen building and fired once at Reeves, who was at the foot of the steps, This first shot was the one striking the young lady. Then immediately afterward Reeves fired twice in quick succession. the bull lets entering the wall. with no effect, and the incident was closed.
 Former Sheriff Burgin ran up to Reeves who had backed out into the street, and ordered him to put up the gun. Deputy Parsons rushed up the steps and took Marshall in charge, disarming him and Deputy Sheriff Carter arrested Reeves. They were marched off to the county jail where both made bonds for $30O.
 Crowds gathered at the scene, and in- spected the places where the bullet struck on the staircase. Policeman Nix kept the people out of the jewelry store where the young lady was, and after a half hour all was quiet.
