Lanes Actions.
In the meantime as soon as
! Crump's bullets began to take effect
Lane turned and stepped off into the
cement gutter, which he followed
toward Washington street for per-
haps fifty feet, leaving a trail of blood
| from where he stood on the sidewalk
About opposite the rear of the Lovett
| drug store he stepped out of the gut
ter and sank into the street, a big
crowd gathering around him. \ few
minutes later he was placed in a job
wagon and taken to the office of Dr.
Baum, and thence to the hospital
Lanes Wounds.
The physicians who operated on
Lane said before they did so that
they did not believe he had a chance
to recover. Late last night they said
they were more than ever convinced
of it. though they believed he might
live through the night. The bullet
that entered below the right nipple
tore a hole an inch in diameter
through the liver and perforated the
intestnes in five places. The bullet
that entered the back 10 the left of
the backbone passed through the left
kidney. Two separate bullets entered
the right arm between the shoulder
and elbow. one passing through the
arm, the other being imbedded in the
arm. Another bullet passed through
the little finger of the right hand and
the sixth wound was in the left hand.
II could not be definitely determined
that this was a bullet wound. The
surgeons dug a lead pencil rubber out
of the palm Of the hand, but whether
il had been shot into the hand or had
been driven in by falling on a lead
pencil was a matter of doubt. The
doctors said the man was certainly
shot four times and probably five, I'M
less the little finger wound was made
by one of the other bullets before II
entered the body or arm. 1t is not i'm
possible that there were six bullets,
but probably not to exceed five.
At a late hour last night the pa
tient was suffering excessive hem |
orrhages of the liver. which is fear
fully lacerated, and it was given out
as almost certainty that the man
recover.

The MarshaPs Part.
Marshal Moore said that he was in
lis office when he got a telephone ID
all saying two men were facing each
,ther with drawn weapons. Whoever
ent the message was evidently ex-
TIED, for several seconds passed be-
ore the officer could learn where the
Incident was taxing place. He was
inally told just as the other telephone
ang and was answered by Officer
'routman The latter's informant said
