STARTLING EXPERIENCE.
Wateryille Man Nearly Hit by Bullet
Fired Mysteriously.

Bert Ellis, an employee of a Water
Vile blacksmith shop, had a peculiar
experience recently. one that he is not
willing to 60 through again. Mr. Ell
lis was sweeping the floor Of the shop
about o'clock in the morning when
he heard a loud report and looking a
that instant toward the stone wall on
the side of the shop noticed that some
thing evidently hit the wall, causing
sparks to fly Mr. Ellis states that
he smelt powder, but did not think
anything of it at that moment TIL
freight train was going by at that mo-
ment and dulled the sound OF the re-
port
Mrs. John W Dearborn. who lives
over the shop, states that she heard
the report and thought nothing Of il,
as she thought it was somebody shoot
ing rats that inhabit the shop, Later
when MI Ellis had time to think it
over, he came to the conclusion that
somebody, either through accident or
design had shot at him The bullet.
if it had hit him. the way he was
standing, would have entered his leg
Just above the knee.
Later in the day a tlattened piece
of lead which was evidently the bull
let was found under the place where
it had struck the wall. The shot, if
fired from the outside, must have come
from a window on the north side OF
the shop that is partially boarded up
and to get to this window whoever
fired the shot must have passed
through the Dearborn yard and onto
the roof of a shed close by The angle
was such. however, that in SHOOTING
/ the man could only shoot a Ellis
legs.
Mrs Dearborn, who was sitting il
the sitting room at the time, says thai
she had a full view of the yard and
saw no one pass The train which
was passing at that time would have
drowned all minor noises.

here on June ,. The Brownlee &

tale of Texas and the play abounds in
the rich humor of the true COW
