the dixie near the Santa Fe Junction
struck Mrs. Jacob Haspert of 536 East

standing in the yard back of her home
when bullet from thirty-eight cali
Der rifle struck her in the wrist. The
police were notified at once and
| started in search of a tramp who it
| was said had been refused something
| to eat by Mrs. Haspert. This proved
| to be false scent, and two boys, Alex
| Reeb and John Engraa, who were
| fishing near the scene of the accident,
were taken to the office of the pro-
| baton officer where they were ques-
| toned, but were able to prove that
| they were only fishing and had no
gun with them. Further investiga-
tons are being made by the police but
no other arrests have been made.
