FORCED To FIRE
H. NJ. Hampton Shot f. H. McIlvaine In
Self Defense Last Night

There was considerable excitemen,
in the city last night when it was
learned that E. H. McIlvaine. the we'll
borer. had been shot and dangerously
wounded by Mr.. H. NJ. Hampton
IT is said that Mr.. Hampton. acting
for the interests of some of his clients
had attached some property claimed
by McIlvaine. and the latter seems TO
have put a personal blame on Mr.
Hampton for what was really only a
regular incident Of a lawyers bust
ness
Mcllvaine went up to Mr.. Hampton's
residence on Oklawaha avenue about
3 o'clock. At that time. Mr.. Hampton
was taking a bath. and his father,
who is here on a visit TO him, was in
the sitting room reading. Mrs Hamp-
ton is away, and there was no one else
in the house.
McIlvaine announced his presence.
and on being asked what he wanted,
demanded a settlement of the affair
then and there. Mr. Hampton. from
the upstairs window. tried to reason
with him, but McIlvaine would not lis
ten to him and tried to force his way
in. The door was locked and he tried
to pull open the wire screen and
threatened to break the glass.
Mr. Hampton. senior, had picked up
shotgun and told McIlvaine if he
broke in the door he would shoot him.
Mc1lvaine then stepped off the porch,
but remained in the yard. making con-
siderable disturbance. Mr.. Hampton,
who had come down stairs, telephoned
for policeman, but had not been able
to get any response. He then took his
pistol and went to the door, and told
McIlvaine that it was no time or place
TO rsuch business, and asked him to go
away and let his alone. McIlvaine
would not listen to reason and said
that if Hampton did not settle by the
time he went to the gate and back he
would kill him. He walked to the
gate, turned and was coming back,
when Hampton fired a shot at the
ground in front of McIlvaine. This
enraged McIlvaine still more and he
made a rush, and Mr.. Hampton. see
ing no way out of it, fired again,
bringing McIlvaine to the ground
There was nothing else for Mr..
Hampton to do. as McIlvaine is a
much more powerful man and seemed
utterly beside himself with anger.
Before going up to Mr.. Hampton's
les for him. and some threats. Mr..
Hampton was not arrested. and prob
ably regrets the affair more than any
one.
DR.. McClane. who was soon at the
scene Of the shooting. had the ambu-
lance summoned an dthe wounded man
was removed to his residence. where
he was put to bed and a careful ex-
animation made of the wound. DR..
McClane says the bullet made a clean
round hole through the pelvis bone,
then ranged back and down, lodging
in the back of the hip, where 1t can be
felt from the outside. 1t is a very
serious but not necessarily fatal
wound.
Last night Sheriff Galloway. whom
Mr. Hampton had summoned to come
to his house, said, when Mr.. Hampton
asked him if he would require any
bond for his appearance, that none
was necessary and that he would wait
and see how McIlvaine got on. 1t was
a clear case of self-defense and those
who gathered at the scene were all of
one mind. that they would have done
the same thing.
