T. H. MOTION

withstand and it is said that grave fears are entertained for her.
 The affair is very mysterious and is completely baffling the police and coroner. Several special detectives were placed on the case last night, but the hope of locat-
 ing the perpetrator of the deed seems very small. There was large crowd
 in front of the theatre and no one re-
 ported hearing a shot fired. There are
 numerous large calibre Springfield rifles in the c--y which can carry distance
 of several miles. It is regarded as en-
 tirely probable that some reckless person was shooting in the vicinity of Red Moun-
 tain and pointed one of the powerful
 guns in the direction of the city, the
 bullet striking the boys head as it de- scended into the city.
 Young Motion, accompanied by his aunt, Mrs. C. J. Smith, was just leav-
 ing the theatre after the matinee and they were crossing the street to get out
 of the crowd when the boy dropped by
 his aunt's side. Mrs. Smith had him by the hand and thought that he had slipped
 on the wet pavement. But, on investi- gating, small hole was found on the top of his head, some missile having fractured the skull and entered the brain
 No shot had been heard and last night it was not certain whether the missile was bullet or not. Whatever it was
 had evidently come from above, as any thing thrown from the side could not
 possibly have struck the boy where the wound was made.
 The boy was carried to Dr. D. F. Tal-
 ley's private infirnary on Seventh ave-
 nue, where an operation was performed
 by pr. w. P. McAdory, the family plly-
 sician From the Talley infrmary he
 was carried to the McAdory infrmary al the corner of Eleventh avenue and Twen- ty-ffth street, where he was treated by pr. McAdory.
 In spite of the skilled efforts of the physicians, the young lad steadily grew weaker Everything known to medical science was tried, but to no avail, and the patient expired at Il o'clock. He was unconscious from the time of the injury
 until his death.
 The only theory that can be advanced by the police is that the boy was struck by bullet from a large caliber rife, nred some distance from the theatre. The bull let had evidently been shot into the aii and had descended on the boys head. The
 probe for the supposed bullet was unsuc-
 cessful last night

DIR. ELKOURIE IN
 AUTOMOBILE WRECK
First Reported That He Had Been H.aIed-Freight Train Backed
 Into His Machine

A report circulated around yesterday afternoon that pr. H. A. Elkourie had been killed in an automobile accident proved to be erroneous as the doctor escaped without scratch.
 Dr. Elkourie was returning from a call to Woodlawn and was crossing the Southern railroad tracks at First avenue and Forty-sixth street when his automobile was struck by the rear end of freight train, completely demolish- ing the machine The doctor jumped from the car in time to escape any in- jury whatever.
 Dr. Ellxourie stated last night that there was no flagman at the crossing and the train backed into him without warning. Mrs Elkourie was badly frightened when the report reached her that the doctor had been badly injured, but later developments proved there was no truth to the- report at all.
