BULLETS END ARGUMENT
Bristol Men Agree to Settle Dispute With Fists But One Draws Gun and Shoots His Opponent.

Bristol Aug. 3.-To settle a dispute Giuseppi Zipcro aged 19, and Vito NasticO, went up to a woodland plot at the top of one of BristoPs streets, today, and there the former pulled a gun and shot his antagonist twice. ZiperO ran away but the wounded man walked to a doctors office with two bullet holes in his body, and later took train for Hartford to get hospital treatment One bullet had missed the heart and lodged in the back muscles. The wound by the other bullet was superficial. Zipero fired four times
 The explanation is that Zipero has been riding home from work at the rolling mills, on his bicycle, taking up the path to the extent that for sev- eral mornings Nastico had disputed with him. Today when both were hOmeward bound from a nights work the argument started again, and Zipero invited Nastico to go to the woods and fight it out. Nastico waited until Zipero had put up his wheel at home, but before a fist fight began Zipero had used his gun.

 Nealon Insulted Him.

Clinton E. Davenport, manager of the New Britain Trap Rock company, complained to Chief w. J. Rawlings this morning concerning alleged in civility on the part of Traffic Officer Denis Nealon. The complainant said the officer did not give a traffic sig nal plainly and when he misunder- stood it, threatened to run him in" if he did 1t again. He said he wanted to prefer charges. He was referred to Chairman E. G. Babcock of the safety board. Up to this afternoon MT. Babcock stated that he had re- ceived no charges against any of the policemen.
 Officer Nealon is one of the oldest and best known patrolmen in the serv- ice and it is not thought by his su- periors that the case is of a serious nature. He has always done his work we'll and as there are two sides to every story it may appear that he is not entirely at fault.
