BULLET ENTERS ROOM.
Policemen Investigating Mysterious
Shot Last Night.

Policemen Of the fourth precinct are in
vestigating a mysterious revolver shot
about IL O'Clock last night. Frank Nc
Lean, fifteen years OF age. of 80 1st
street southeast narrowly escaped being
hit by a bullet which was fired through
an open window on the third floor of his
home.
Mclean was preparing to retire. and
had raised the front thrd-story window.
The report of pistol was heard. and the
bullet entered the room. Ii passed
through a panel of door. about four feet
from the floor. and continued on through
the next room. lodging in the wall.
The police were notified and started an
investigation. In view of the fact that
the bullet passed through the door at a
certain angle it was decided that it could
not have been fired from the street. The
suggestion was made that il might have
started from window on the fourth floor
of the House of Representatives offica
building. directly opposite the Mclean
home. but it is stated the watchman there
declared no one was on the fourth moor
of the building at the time the shot was
fired.
