SHOT BY WOMAN
LOag Island Real Estate Dealer
Shot as He Was Entering
bis Office.

New York, Feb 25.-Charles Il. San
ford, of Smithstown, l.. L., real es-
tate lawyer, was shot and wounded in
the head by Mrs Jennie Bunt of Brook
lyn in the corridor of the Garfield
building to-day. Although Mrs Bunt
fired two shots, only one of them
took effect, and this inflicted scalp
wound in the back of the head, from
which Mr. Sanford is expected to re-
cover. Mrs Bunt was waiting at Mr.
Sanford's door and shot him as he
approached. Occupants of the build
ing heard the shots and pursued the
woman as she fed from the building
and she was turned over to a police
man whom she was passing in the
street. Mrs Bunt admitted that she
did the shooting and declared that it
was justified by Sanford's treatment
of her and was IAN act OF God"
Sanford said Mrs Bunt had employed
him as counsel in an action against
her husband. The injured man was
removed to hospital.

TOURISTS HURT
Excursion Train Derailed and
Cars Piled in The Ditch
Caused By Broken Axle.

Laredo, Tex, Feb 25.-Thirty per-
SONS are reported to have been in
jured in the derailment of an excur-
sion train carrying a number OF
northern tourists at Orville, twelve
miles north of Laredo, last night.
Several cars we're thrown from the
track and piled up in ditch. The
Pullman cars, however, remained on
the rails. The excursionists, most OF
whom were from Toledo, O., were
travelling under the direction of
Charles Gates of Toledo. The sim
ilarity in names at first gave rise to
report that the wrecked train was
special on which John w. Gates,
the New York capitalist, has been
travelling through the south. 1t was
learned, however, that the John w.
Gates party arrived at Baumont,
Tex, last night.
The derailment is said to have
been caused by broken axle on the
locomotive.

FIRE IN GOLF HOME.
Hartford Club Was Completely De.
stroyed TO-DAY.

Hartford, Conn, Feb. 25.-Fire at
O'Clock this morning completely de-
stroyed the Hartford Golf club build
ing, located in West Hartford, just
beyond the city line. The outbreak
Of flame was SO sudden that the occu-
pants of the club consisting of the
steward, his wife and baby and a
number of walters were forced to flee
in their night clothes. They crossed
the snow in the freezing atmosphere
to the caddy house an dtook refuge
there until assistance was provided.
The inmates of the club house had
a narrow escape They were awaken
ed by the continuous ringing of the
telephone bell, which Was set in ac-
ton, it is though, by melting wires
crossing each other. The building
was than mass of flames and the
only means of escape was by the
roof. Had not this unique signal
been given the structure would in all
probability have collapsed while the
inmates were asleep.

Was a Marked Man.

Denver, Feb 25.-Most Of the
priests of the Roman Catholic church
in this city believe that Father Leo
Heinrichs, who was murdered by
Giuseppe Alio, an Italian anarchist,
while giving communion in st Eliza
beth's church here on Sunday last,
was a marked man from the time
he arrived in town last August or
even before. The dead priest was
stationed previously in Paterson, N.
j., and it is believed that he may
have incurred the enmity of the an
archists there and that a plot was
laid to kill him, perhaps prior to his
leaving Paterson, but that the ma
chinery of the reds" failed to get
into working order until Alio carried
out orders.

New York, Feb. 25.-Justice Guy
in the supreme court to-day set aside
the verdict of jury and fined each
of the jurymen $50 and costs for de-
Gliding the case by the Zip of coin
The case was a suit brought against
the New York City Railway company
for damages for causing the death OF
a child The jury brought in ver-
dict in favor of the railway company
and as the evidence seemed to be so
much apart from the verdict, the JUS
tice asked how such a verdict had
been reached. The foreman said that
the members had agreed to decide the
case on the toss of a coin as they
were in hurry to get away.
