Shooting Affair a Mystery

\ shooting affair that occurred In
this city shortly after twelve O'Clock
Saturday night is somewhat surround
Ell with mystery and the facts are
most peculiar.
Special officer Augustus Martin was
on duty and tells the following story
lie says that shortly before twelve
O'Clock he was at the railroad station
when man with lantern came up
to him and said that there was a quar-
rel over bottle going on on the rail.
road track below the depot. He went
as far AS the water plug and after watt
the track. He had gone but short
distance when he came upon five men.
He tod them they had better clear out
and four of them did so. The fifth
man came towards him and said ;, You
have done enough, Cordier, d-n
you, and fired two shots at him. A
raj road man came along and asked II
he could help, and picked iup the OFF,
GERS hat.
The matter has been investigated by
the captain. He found that the OIL
RS though revolver had been held
within an inch or two of 1T, but the
strange part of it was that there was
no hole through the cap,oniy the burn
from the outside leading To the suppo-
sition that blank cartridge had been
used. On the inside of the officers
coat was similar burn, but as in case
of the hat there was no hole through
the cloth. The officer says that the
shot was fired at him from several feet.
away. He does not remember how
many shots were fired at him, but
says he fired once. Several people
have been found who heard the shots
and say there were two, and one man
saw the two flashes. The railroad
man is one of these and he saw no one
around but the officer although had
the men left in the direction the ofii-
Ger indicated they would have passed
him. If the officer shot once and there
were only two shots fired, how could
two shots hit his clothing; If they hit
his clothing why did not the bullets
penetrate, and where did the five men
disappear TO, are the questions that are
unanswerable and surround the affair
with mystery. The officer says that
his pistol was only loaded with blank
cartridges. Ofiisers Cordier and Mar
tin secured the country as far south as
the town farm and found no trace of
the five men.

been working at his trade for Adelard

they were penned between the two
tracks. Roe's companions lay down
between the tracks TO let the trains

A fire in thelarge.two and half story
building in the rear OF siuiian's block
on Main street, owned by Edward

as store house, and Philias Clouthier
as a saloon, was damaged by fire on
Wednesday evening. The building is
an old one and entirely of wood and
surrounded by other old wooden build.
ings which made danger of a contla-
grafton imminent.
just after the town, clock struck the
hour of ten alarm from box I'll brought
the entire department to the scene.
The fire started in an open cellar in
the rear of the building filled with
empty boxes, barrels, iold wagons,
sleighs, and other infiammable mate
rial, and circumstances point to the
work of an incendiary. The tiremen
were quick to respond but the fire was
fast gaining Roadway, mostly on the
outside of the building, and several
streams of water soon had it under
control. Fortunately there was no
wind To fan the flames or it is doubtful
if the building could have been saved.
The damage to the building isinot
great and it was insured. l.. Il. Smith,
who occupied the upper floors, was
probably the heaviest loser, most of
the damage to his property being from
water. He was insured. tPhilias Glou-
theirs saloon on the ground floor was
damaged to some extent by water. He
carried no insurance. The damage
cannot be estimated at present, but
unless the goods stored 10y Mr.. Smith
suffered a good deal it would seem
that it might fall quite within thou
and dollars.
This is the third fire of similar
suspicious nature that has occurred
within short time. Wednesday even
ing, October 30th, fire was discovered
on the outside of the garage of Sheriff
Holbrook in the rear of the Clark place
on Elm street. A heap of rubbish that
had been collected had apparently
been set on fire. 1t was quickly extin-
guished. On election night, Novem-
Der 5th, fire was discovered in the
rear of the Bradley building on Main
street. This fire had also been started
in some boxes and rubbish in the rear
of the building and was put out with
extinguishers. Last nights fire was
also started in among old boxes and
rubbish, which makes the starting of
Stunning that the fires were of incendia-
~ origin and the work of the same
person, it would seem that the motive
was excitement or just the ordinary
mania to start a fire rather than de-
sire TO burn down building for, be-
sides being crude, the work was done
at time of night when people were
up and obout. If the desire was TO de-
stroy building it would seem that one
or two O'Clock in the morning would
be much more favorable hour tor
such work, as the firemen all being in
bed and no people on the street much
greater Roadway would be gained.
On the other hand the first fire
might have been started by a passerby
dropping a imatch and the other two
the same way, or by tramps who had
gone into the places to sleep, as either
would have afforded excellent shelter
and are in close proximity to saloons.
The flremen responded promptly and
did creditable work. The about sig
nal was rung at lilo.
