By a Cumberland Hotel Man in
a Bar Room and He May
Not Recover.

/ CUMBERLAND, Nd, Dec. 26.-Fred
Snyder, a member Of the Cumberland
police force, was probably fatally shot
at midnight by George Brown, pro-
prietor OF the Eagle hotel, Mechanic
and Bedford streets. Brown was i'm
mediately placed under arrest, follow
ing Snyder's reporting the shooting at
the police station, where he walked
and fell exhausted. Snyder is at the
Western Maryland hospital, suffering
from internal hemorrhage from the
abdominal wound.
Brown had been drinking, and his
excuse was, 1t is said, that Snyder
had been trying to run his business.
The shooting occurred in the barroom
in the presence of several witnesses.
Brown came here from West Virginia
some time ago. Little hope is held
out for the recovery of Snyder.
