SMITH MAY
RECOVER YET
Taken to Paducah And Five
Balls Taken Out of
His Body.
BRENT IN COUNTY JAIL.
But Little If Any Provoca-
ton For The Attempt
ed Murder.

Jim Smith, the colored brakeman
shot by VIM. Brent, col, at the |. C.
depot Wednesday, was taken to
Pa1ucah. The News. Democrat says:
With six bullets in his body, Jim
Smith, brakeman for the Illinois
Central railroad, lies in a critical
condition at the l. c. hospital on
West Broadway, wnere he was
brought at $50 Wednesday evening.
He was shot twice in the right
lung, once in the left lung, once in
the right arm below the elbow, once
in the left arm above the elbow. and
in the lower part of the abdomen"
A brief account of the shooting
was given in Thursdays kentuckian.
Fuller details are now at hand. A
brother of Brent's a boy about II or
Ia years old, was worrying Smith at
the depot. He turned the faucet
of a big oil tank and Smith
caught him just in time to stop the
waste of oil. The boy refused to
leave the yards and for half an hour
he threw rocks and annoyed the
brakeman, until he finally caught
him and held him while the agent
telephoned for an officer. VIM Brent,
who lived not far away, got a pistol
and went to the depot before the
officer arrived and pistol in hand
told Smith to turn the boy loose or
he would shoot him. Smith said,
You'll have to shoot then. Pm
going to hold this boy till the police
get here" Without another word
Brent emptied the five chambers Of
a 81 pistol into Smith, one ball pass
ing through the right arm, thrown
up to ward off the attack, and en-
tering the lung, thus making six
wounds in all.
Brent broke the empty pistol,
throwing out, the shells, and met
Officer Merritt, and was taken into
custody. Officers Merritt and Hord
were hurrying to the scene, on diff
erent streets, when they heard the
shots.
Brent has been turned over to the
county authorities.

The Indianapolis star says of the
arrival of Ezra Meeker at that place
after having marked the Oregon trail:
pioneer" Meeker has arrived at his
destination at Indianapolis with his OK
team, having retraced the old Oregon
trail the entire distance of 1900 miles.
The star devotes an entire page to
cuts and an interview with the cour-
ageous pioneer, which is entitled, "Or-
egon Trail Blazed Anew After Fifty
Years" The illustrations consist of
G!fford's "ncdicating Monument at
The Dalles, Oregon" Moorhouse's
picture of the pioneer himself in
buckskin suit, garbed as a typical
mountain man, seen in the last Pa
cific Monthly. Also the Meeker home
on Puyallup as Camp No. 1, and
"Chimney Rock" on old Oregon trail,
in North Platte valley, with Meeker
and OK team in foreground.
To a reporter pioneer" Meeker
said he left his home at Puyallup,
Camp No. 1, January %, 1906, and
had travelled 1900 miles to return to
his farm home seven miles west of In
dianapolis, which he left in the fall
of 1851 for an early start the next
spring to Oregon.
AS n result of his land-marking
journey, no less than 90 markers have
been set along the trail already, and
other cities are planning to COM
memorate the historic spots. Among
the cities along the historic roadway
are Grand Island, Neb.; North Platte,
Neb.; Casper Wyo.; Pocateilo, Idaho;
Boise, Idaho; Baker City, Ore, and
The Dalles.
In many places magnificent monu-
ments have been erected, one Of hand
