BULLET IN LUNGS
CONDITION SERIOUS
Policeman Miles of Burlington in Much
Worse Shape Than Man Who Fired
the Bullet into Officer and
Then Himself.

Burlington, June l7.-Dr. P. f. Nc.
Sweeney, who is attending Policeman
Christopher Miles, shot yesterday by Jo-
seph Ploof, who then turned the reyol-
yer on himself, says that Miles condi-
tion is very serious, and that there is
strong possibility of pneumonia also.
The bullet, which entered the back just
below the shoulder blade and took a
downward course, is now probably i'm.
bedded in the lungs.
Ploof is apparently resting comfort
ably. One bullet, probably the first,
and came so near to the surface on
the other side that it was removed yes
terday afternoon. The other went in
below the heart and has not yet been
taken out. No important change in the
condition of the patient is looked for
within "a hours.
Officer Miles has always been one of
the most popular men on the force and
only a short time ago the residents on
the street where he was doing duty petit
toned an alderman to use his influence
TO prevent contemplated transfer.
Three months ago, when the Pine resi-
dence on Murray street was on fire, he
rushed in and carried out a girl who
was in flames and burned himself in
the act so that one of his hands has
never recovered its full use, as some of
the tendons were burned through He
was incapacitated for work after the
fire for several weeks. In many other
ways he has shown his bravery, and
during the seven years on the force he
has accomplished many creditabIe feats.
Mr.. Miles is 46 years of age and has
a wife and two small children, one a
baby and the other about ten years of
age. He has lived in this city practical
ly all his life.
Ploof is about 40 years of age and
has been employed as an electrician.
During the past ten years he has been
a hard drinker, so that it became i'm
possible for his wife to live with him;
so she took her seven children away
and has supported them for several
years.
Ploof, not content to let her alone. has
harrassed her and upon three occasions
has gone to her house and threatened
her, the last time few nights ago
Mrs Ploof was sitting in front of the
house with a neighbor and Ploof threat
ened her, displaying the revolver with
which he shot Officer Miles yesterday
The women ran into the house and Ploof
pursued them. but Mrs. Ploof escaped
out of the back door. 1t was after this
that she went to the police station and
a warrant was sworn out for the mans
arrest. On one Of the other visits, Mrs.
Ploof was putting the smaller children
to bed and he compelled her to go down
stairs and abused her.
He is plainly a victim of alcoholism
and during the past few years drank
anything that contained it, taking pa
tent medicines and everything along
that line, He suffered delirium tremens
a few years ago and narrowly escaped
death.
