STRAY BULLET ENTERS |
VAN DUSEN HOME
MISSIvE SKATERS KITCHEN
WINDOW AND MIGHT JUST
AS WELL HAVE KILLED
SOME ONE.

A bullet fired by some unknown
person shattered a window in the
home OF II, G, Van Dusen, at $50
Harrison avenue, at an early hour
yesterday morning, That il was d
stray bullet is quite probable, OF
course, but none the less il might
have done serious damage The police
were notified Of the episode but their
efforts to ascertain who it was that
fired the shot were unavailing.
At about 7:S0 o'clock yesterday
morning Mr.. Van Dusen was sitting
in chair reading the morning paper,
when he suddenly heard sound as
OF shattering glass He hastily arose
and made an investigation, and in the
kitchen found window that had been
perforated and more or less shatter-
ed by bullet. He went out and
looked around the neighborhood from
whence the missive must have come.
but could not find anybody who had
heard shot or knew anything about
the matter.
Returning 10 the house Mr. Van
Dusen again SAT down in the chair
where he had been when the shot
was fired, and a moment later Mrs.
Van Dusen saw something on sofa
which attracted her attention. 1t
proved to be bullet, more or less
flattened out OF shape, How the
bullet found its way to the sofa is a
to Mr. Van Dusen, 1t must,
have struck the very chair
in which he was sitting, and 10 reach
the chair il must have passed through
three doors. Evidently it had been
detected in its course until finally,
striking some resisting surface, it |
dropped or bounded onto the lounge,
The occurrence seems to be simply
another of the many cases OF care
less shooting that is but too prevalent
in and around Astoria. Some boy
may have fired the shot, and it is
known that boys are in the habit OF
firearms within the city
limits. Or the shot may have come |
from laborers who were working up
on the heights at the time. In the
hope that the miscreant who fired the
shot may be discovered, or that the
action may have some deterrent effect
upon others in the future, Mr.. Van
Dusen said last evening that he will
give reward OF $40 for proof. OF the
identity OF the person. 1t is probable
that this sum would be doubled by |
others in the neighborhood, who feel
alarm over the matter OF flying bull
lets. 1t was only recently that some
Italian laborers fred several shots
directly at Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
as they were taking a walk
near the City Park.

Miss Mary King, equipped for an au-
tomobile ride, stood al a front window
waiting. She was a country girl with
the glow of health on her cheeks who
had come to the city the day before
and stopped in one of row Of stone
front houses, but she was not TO re-
main there. Her cousin, Tom Archard,
was coming with biz automobile to

suburban town. She had never seen
