STRANGER SHOOTS

Deliberately Fired Three Times From

while they were inspecting pipe
line along the shora of the river on
the Illinois side. Fortunately they
We're not hit by either shot, though
the bullets came most dangerously
close. They reported the incident to
the police and the Illinois authorities
have also been notified.
Mr.. Hughes says they were in a
boat and passed stranger who was
the sole occupant of john boat. Not
a word was spoken by either party
in passing and after Mr.. Hughes and
his companion had put distance of
about fifty yards between the two
boats the stranger opened fire with
a heavy revolver, three bullets whist
ling most uncomfortably close to
their heads. The stranger then pass
ed on up stream apparently as uncon-
cerned as If nothing had happened.
The stranger was very deliberate
in his attack. He rested his revolver
on the side of the boat and seemingly
took deliberate aim before firing. AT
ter each shot he would wait until the
smoke cleared away before firing
again. 1t would seem from this that
he intended to kill some one. Not
