TAKES SHOT At PREACHER.
Village Of Urbana Stirred by Quar-
rel and Shootinu.

Cedar Rapids, Aug. 21.-An alterca-
ton between Mayor Charles Moore
and the Rev. Frank Wood, known as
the fighting parson" Of Urbana, and
the subsequent firing of a shot into
the home of the Rev. Mr.. Wood at
midnight. has stirred the little town
Of Urbana and brought bloodhounds
from Waterloo to run down the Offend
er who sent a forty-four caliber bud
let into the minister's home. While
the episode has caused a ripple Of ex-
citement in the village, there is said to
be no connection between the two.
Mr. Wood Is retired Christian pas
tor engaged in the contracting bust
ness. Tuesday morning Wood and
Moore entered into an argument over
the inspection Of the wiring made by
the mayor in a building recently erect
ed by Wood. It is said that Wood.
who fails to carry out the bible injunc-
ton to turn the other cheek at all
times struck the mayor.
The evening of the same day the
Rev. Mr.. Wood and his wife had re-
tired for the night when some time
between 10:30 p. m. Tuesday and a.
m. Wednesday a shot was fired into
the home, the bullet entering at
point ABOUT on q leVel with the top OF
the upstairs doors. The family was
sleeping downstairs. The bullet was
taken from the interior Of the house
where it had lodged in the woodwork
and is Of forty-four caliber. The min
lister called up Sheriff Ferguson We'd
nesday morning and asked him to come
to Urbana and run down the guilty
party Later Mayor Moore also sent in
call to the office of the sheriff. ask
ing him to come at once to Urbana and
help locate the marty who fired on the
home of Mr.. Wood.
Bloodhounds were brought early
Wednesday morning and after making
circuit Of the Wood premises failed
to pick up scent and were taken
back to Waterloo The officers Of the
law failed to find any evidence to hold
number of suspects. 1t is said that
Wood has made a number of bitter
enemies as the result of occurrences
in the past, but no one believes but
that the incident of the morning and
that of the evening were simply CO.
medicines.
