Owing to the fact that No. section

that this evening everything will be
open and ready for business.
Several high grade free attractions
are slated for tonight, among them be-
ing Lionhart's sensational slide for

absolutely free. AS an added attrac-
ton Miss Mcknight, the dainty and
petite little soloist, will sing with the

in conjunction with the open air con-
cert in Market square, and made an
instantaneous hit.
Among the larger shows is an old
fashioned plantation Georgia minstrel
performance. Southern darkies sing.
ing latest songs and champion buck
and wing dancers will delight Rock
Island audiences. Miss Boards new
idea vaudeville show, with a high
class collection Of big city acts, is

BULLETS DODCED
IN COURT ROOM
Judge Drops Behind Desk,
Some Hide Under Tables and
Others Leap Out Window.
is CHOKED BY A WITNESS
Application for Parole by Lad Guilty
of Hoidup Had Just Been
Refused.

Washington, D. c., June 24.-Judge,
lawyers, policemen and spectators
were sent scurrying to cover in the
criminal court here late yesterday
when Ray NJ. Stewart, aged is, fired
three wild shots in an attempt to
shoot up" the court. Several had
narrow escapes before a witness chok-
ed the boy into insensibility. Stewart
is in Jail awaiting trial on a charge
of shooting with intent to kill. he
had been convicted of holding up a
negro and the judge had just refused
his application for probation as a first
offender.
At the first shot Justice Wendall P.
Stafford disappeared beneath his desk,
and out in the court room there was
wild scramble for places of safety.
Some sought refuge under tables or
behind heavy chairs, and others, fren-
zied by fear, leaped into windows and
dropped to the ground some 10 or 20
feet below.
CHOKED BY A WITNESS.
Justice Stafford had just refused to
release Stewart. The boy then fired
with an automatic pistol. The shots
narrowly missed Assistant United
States Attorneys Samuel McComas
Hawken and Harvey Given and Police
man Moffitt Stewart was turning to-
ward the judge as if to shoot again
when witness sprang upon him and
choked him into insensibility.
In the confusion that followed many
thought that Justice Stafford had been
struck by a bullet, but he emerged
| from his haven without a scratch.
Judge Stafford had been hearing the
testimony of witnesses for and against
Stewart. Hawken, Given and Mofit,
who were conducting the prosecution,
were seated near the boy; who had
been at liberty on bail The judge
! had barely uttered the last word in
passing the sentence when the prison
er brought out his pistol and began
| to shoot.
AIMS AT PROSECUTORS.
The first shot was aimed in the
direction of the prosecutors and just
missed Hawken, who forthwith ducked
under the table. The bullet lodged in
the easement of a window behind him
The next shot went toward the jury
box and passed dangerously near
| Detective Sergeant Grants head. II
struck the wall near the window and
rebounded, falling near Justice Stat
fords bench. The third shot struck
the ceiling.
AS the youth wheeled and faced the
bench Edwin Blaine, a clerk in the
department of agriculture, who had
been a witness for the state, seized
the boy by the throat and carried hin
to the floor. Stewart lay unconscious
for several minutes after being dis
armed. Later he was removed to tftt
cellroom beneath the courtroom, where
he refused even to admit that he die
the shooting.
