Broke Cane on Him.

Dunn. would not talk to newspaper
men last night but was interviewed
by Chief Schevers to whom he said
that he had been in barber shop
getting his shoes polished and had just
come out when he met Mr.. Hickey.
According to the mans statement,
Hickey, as he passed him called him
vile name and struck him with his
cane, breaking it. He says he is not
sure whether he shot before he was
struck or not.
AS he was walking to the station
with Mr.. Johnson, Dunn remarked: Il
tried to get the hig-but shot my
self. " This was the first that anybody
knew of Dunn's injury to himself.
The trouble is believed to have
started over the fact that Dunn's d.
vorced wife is Mr. Hickey's house
keeper. Jealousy unfounded, coup
led with the fact that he has been
drinking heavily for several weeks is
thought to be the reason for the shoot

How They "ceIebrated.n


They are most worthy and highly
respected couple and Keokuk is better
for having them so long as residents.
Their associations here have been ex-
amples which may be followed with
profit and while they are making no
demonstrations on this anniversary it
may well be surmised that their
minds are going backward over the
pleasant paths they have travelled,
with pleasant and gratifying thoughts
that their well-spent lives have been
the means Of leading others in COM
mendable paths.
While the honored couple intended
to keep the matter of the event to
themselves, The Gate City, for which
paper Mr.. Mills has been a subscriber
for fifty years or more, heard of the
affair and this briefly written sketch
lis the result of that information.
Many congratulations have gone in
from many friends and more would
have been received had the matter
been more generally known. All Keo-
kuk gives with one voice a greeting
to them with heartfelt wishes for many
returns to them of happy wedding an
niversaries.

A VERY QUIET EVENT

Today is the fiftieth anniversary of
the marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
j. Mills, of 70S Bank street, both of
whom have been honorable and re-
spected residents of the city several
years beyond the period Of their mar
riage. So gently have the years borne
down upon them, it would not seem at
all appropriate to speak Of them in the
ordinary language on such occasions
as venerable couple, for they still
possess unusual strength Of body and
mind and an activity in their ordin-
airy pursuits which would shame many
far younger than they.

William Dunn, His Nephew
Used Revolver and ALI of
the Bullets But One
Went Home.
NOT THOUGHT SERIOUS
In Drawing the Weapon, Dunn
Shot Himself in the Leg
Just Before the
Attack.


Jealousy and grudge of many
years standing resulted late yester-
day evening in the shooting of Com
missioner T.. J. Hickey by William
Dunn, a aephew by marriage of Mr..
Hickey.
The shooting occurred on Fifth
street Just off of Main, about s:15
and although many people were on the
street and passing the place very few
witnessed the actual shooting.
Mr.. Hickey was rushed to st. JOS
eph's hospital and operated on inn
mediately. He was conscious and re-
fused an anesthetic and kept up a fire
of conversation az: the time the doc
tors were probing his wounds In an
effort to locate the bullets. Four shots
had lodged in his body. All of them
were dangerous wounds, although not
necessarily fatal. One lodged in his
thigh, one passed through his arm
about half way between the elbow and
the shoulder and two in his left side.
The one in the thigh is the most dan
gerous. One of them entered just be-
low and slightly to the left of the NIP
pie and one higher and under rae
arm These bullets have not yet been
located by the physicians.
His assailant in drawing the gun
from his pocket also shot himself m
the leg While his wound is painful
in the extreme it is not dangerous
He was attended by the city physician
after the shooting last night.
Mr.. Hickey was reported resting
fairly easy this morning at the hospf
| tai and unless complications set in
will be out in two or three weeks.

Hickey on Top.

The most probable story told by
witnesses as to the actual meeting of
dhe men is that Mr.. Hickey was walk
ing toward Main street swinging the
cane which he always carried when he
met Dunn. Some of the witnesses say
that he greeted Dunn with his usual
good evening" while others say that
there was cursing on the part of both
men. At any rate there was scuffle
IN which the heavy cane of Mr.. Hickey
was broken in trying to beat off Dunn
when he attempted to draw his gun
After he had shot once, the men clinch
ed and rolled to the side walk Whine
prone on the walk four more shots
were fired, all taking effect in the
BODY Of Mr. Hickey. The commission
err was on top of his assailant when
witnesses ran to his aid.
Harold Johnson. a travelling sales
man for the Huiskamp Brothers Co.,
who had been eating his dinner in q
Fourth street restaurant ran out
when he heard the first shot and com
ing to where tbs men were lying saw
the gun in Dunn's outstretched hand.
He kicked 1t out OF the mans hand
and picked it up, Then, he and other
men who had by that time arrived,
assisted Mr.. Hickey to his feet. The
commissioner could stand by himself
and Dunn dashed across the street.
Johnson at once ran across the
street and took Dunn by the arm. He
made no resistance and walked with
Johnson to the police station where
he handed Night Captain Fuqua his
gun. All the chambers of the gun
we're empty. 1t is a blue steel gun,
thirty-eight calibre.
