DR.. w. j. Doughertv was coming down
town, walking along Elizabeth street. be
tween Eighth and Ninth streets, he heard
the crack Of a small rife, and almost
simultaneously q bullet whizZed within
a few inches of his face. He had stopped
q moment to chat with Assistant Post
master Pierce. Both at once beat a re-
treat from the spot. The doctor thinks
the shot must have been fired by some
boy. shooting at birds, or else carelessly
handling his gun. At the same time he
said he thought it would be well to have
the law against firing weapons in the
city limits enforced.
