MILLDALE SHOOTING AFFRAY.
Victim Found Lying Unconscious ir
 Front of His Home.

Milldale, Conn, Aug. 1-Following two revolver shots fired in rapid sue cession here tonight. Ededio Tiverotti. 22 years old, was found lying in the road in front of the home of J. Fan tana, unconscious, with a bullet wound in his left side. He was taken to the Meriden hospital, where his chances of recovery are slight. Giacomo Gao, who did the shooting, made his es- cape.
 Tiverotti had spent the evening at the Fantana home and left the house in time to take the last car to his home in West Cheshire. He had been gone from the house but few min utes when two shots were heard by members of the Fantana family. They ran out of the house in time to see Gao throw away revolver and hear him say: Me no shoot him; I shoot in air. Members of the Fantano family made move to take Gao, but he drew a knife and drove them into the house and then ran down the road. After Cao's escape the Fantano fam fly brought Tiverotti into the house and sent for Dr. w. H. Gushing. who on his arrival made an examination, and found that a bullet had entered Tiverottis left side, taking a down. ward course, probably penetrating the intestines. An ambulance was sum- moned from Meriden and he was taken to the hospital in that place.
 The revolver which Gao was seen to throw away was picked up and two of the chambers were found to have been discharged, which would account for the two shots heard. No weapons were found in Tiverotti's possession.
 Gao is about thirty years old and lived on West Mountain, Southington. where he is employed. A deputy sher- if and several constables are out searching for him. Both men are un- married and members of the Fantano family say they knew of no reason for Cao's wanting to take Tiverotti's

thing happens to provoke heated dis cussions of political character, the new tariff bill should be enacted into law and the extraordinary session of congress adjourned before the end of the present week. Inquiry among sen- ators opposed to the adoption of the conference report on the Payne-Ald- rich bill indicates that the debate will not be as extended as it threatened to be before the conferees reported.
 The senate will meet at ten o'clock tomorrow. The session probably will begin at that hour each day and will continue until six or seven o'clock dali ly until the report is adopted. If it is found that more senators desire to speak than have already given notice it is possible that evening sessions may be held.

The American army mule is a valu-
able and useful beast, as has often
been demonstrated, and he is holding
his own, with no kick coming. The
government stands by him. Orders
have just been issued that army Off
GERS going to and from San Francisco
and the military reservation near that
city must ride in c~onveyances drawn
by army mules and not automobiles.
The officers formed the automobile
habit at the time of the earthquake
and as a matter of emergency and me-
cessity. But the government regards
the good old reliable mule as quite
adequate to ordinary conditions, and
SO the animal comes back to his for.
mer dignity.
