SHOOTING STILL
MUCH A MYSTERY
Mum Tells Some Features
of Partisan Affair Involv-
ing American Woman.

Paris. Dec. 1s.-The effort Of the
police to locate either Mrs. Mary
Barnes or her servants. the only ac-
tual witnesses Of the shooting Of Wal
ter Mumm. a well-known sportsman.
thus far have been fruitless. and the
affair remains more OF less a mystery.
Mumm was shot while in the woman's
home.
NJ. Bumn1. in tho Interrogation by
Magistrate Roucard, at the hospital
protested against that version Of the
shooting which said that he struck
Mrs. Barnes" before she fired.
Il was very fond of Mrs. Barnes.''
said NJ. Murnm to the magistrate, but
I think she was even fonder Of me.
My family. however, made me UNDER
stand that the situation between. us
could not continue. Mrs. Barnes was
vorced. and. accordingly, could not be
my wife.
I'm view of u possible separation I
tried to prepare my friend. Wednesday
night We took supper at a restaurant
in the Rue Royale. Tho evening
passed gaily. Champagne flowed per-
haps a little too freely. and when we
returned. tired and enervated to Mrs.
Barnes homo. in the Rue Bellies Fer

Then We began to dispute. I re-
peated to her that our love could not
last forever. Mrs. Barnes. who up to
this time had not been much moved
over the prospect OF our parting, then
had a crying ut which was followed by
an outburst of fury.
"'Ah. 1t. won't last forever? Wa
shall see about that!' she screamed,
and before I could interfere she
snatched up a little revolver and fired
at me-"
NJ. Boucard here interrupted NJ.
Mumm.
Didn't you. yourself. fire the first
shot? 1t is said the woman Is wound
ed. and instead of having fed to Lon
don. that she is in a private hospital
near Paris"
NO." replied NJ. Mumm. Mrs.
Barnes cannot invoke the excuse Of
legitimate defense. I neither shot her
nor struck her. When she fired I dis
armed her. Certainly. I did not do it
very gently. I was brutal, but that Is

PATRICK'S DAY CELEBRATION IN MOS
COW LIKE FAMED D0NNYBROOK FAIR

Home rule in Ulster paled into in
significance as a trouble breeder to-
day, before the annual scrap between
the freshmen and sophomores, at the
University of Idaho, and Donnybrook
Fair was a homeopathic excitant be-
side the "come-all-ye" in which the
freshmen and sophomores of the Mos
COW High school mixed and battled
through the morning hours.
In a rather one-sided contest, be-
cause Of the handicap placed upon the
frshmen, and not because of any lack
of fighting Ulster spirit, the freshmen
were defeated in the annual Patrck's
Day fight at the University of Idaho
and after a 15-minute battle, the
proud green still fluttered in the breeze
from the sophomore pole. The colors
had been placed about 13 feet up on
a telephone pole, and at 10 o'clock,
the two classes lined up about 10 wards
distant, and at the crack of Coack Van
der Veers pistol rushed to attack and

peditiously and with system they went
about their work, but somehow, the
"freshies" learned of the fate of theiI
brothers in arms and a pitched battle
in the barnyard resulted. In the end
the sophs were roped tied, and in some
cases branded, and left to enjoy the
scenery of the barn roof. Later, about
1890, the fight again broke out in the
neighborhood of the post office, the
freshmen and sophs again battled.
More carnage, more peeled noses, more
irridescent eyes, and in this case some
hair pulling, for the girls, too mixed
in the carnage. Ellen Smith, being
hit upon the chin tainted, and was
taken to the Aspray hospital, near
which, by this time the battle was
raging. The police were called, and
separated the complaints.
The fights were scheduled for st.
Patrick's day, but owing to the 18th
falling on Sunday it was necessary to
postpone the performances.
