WITH BIRD SHOT
Man Who Fired on the Taft Boat
Hit a Youth Near the Same
Place Yesterday.

Cincinnati. July 3O.-Charles Hawks.
l6 years old. was shot by an unknown
person late yesterday as the steamer
Island Queen was going up the river
near the same place whence the shots
were fired that struck Mrs. Russell
while on the steamer on Taft notifica-
ton tonight.
Hawks was swimming at the foot of
Whitaker street, when the Island
Queen passed. Suddenly the youth sank
below the surface of the water. His
companions who had seen him go I'M
der hurried to his assistance and car
ried him to the shore. There il was
found that number of small bird shot
we're inbedded in his face. He was
hurried to the city hospital. where
some of the shot were removed.
The police investigated, but could not
find anyone who heard a shot fired.
They are puzzled over the shooting of
the boy and Mrs. Russell, and believe
that an irresponsible person along the
river is doing the shooting. They are
making efforts to solve both mysteries.
