BULLET CRASHES
WINDOW

C%enterville, April s Ed Walker and
John Hunt were seated In the Burling-
ton passenger station between 10 and
II o'clock Wednesday morning, and
were startled and interrupted in their
talk by a bullet which crashed through
an east window and passed dangerous.
ly near them. Fortunately, however.
neither was hit and the police were Of
once put on the job. So far all efforts
to find where the bullet came from
have been unavailing.
Chief John Quigley rushed to -
scene a few minutes after the excite.
ment and began a thorough investiga-
ton. The hole In the window pane in
dicated that the bullet must have beer
about a 32.caliber missile, but all ef-
forts to find it were in vain. No place
could be found where It entered the
wall opposite the window, but 1t is be-
lieved that It was detected by some.
thing and either buried itself In some
remote part Of the wall or fell to the
floor. The station was thoroughly
swept in an effort to find the bullet. 1t
came through the window with sum
cient force to scatter glass across the
waiting room.
Judging from the direction which the
bullet was taking as 1t came through
the pane. 1t might have been fired from
a position between the Chapman store
and the little restaurant on the east
side Of South Eighteenth street. II is
said that the two men In tho stations
at the time Of the occurrence have
enemies who would not hesitate II
take a shot at them II they thougfM
1t could be done safely. but this may ~
nothing but rumor. Another theory III
that the bullet was a STRAY" fre6
from a distance and Just happening tol
end Its flight In the station. Which.
ever is right. It has stirred up consid.
cradle excitement. especially In the
south part Of town and threw Z FOOD
scare into Walker and Hunt who %,
narrowly escaped being wounded. The
police are still working on tho case sndS
they may have something definite Il
report on it later on.
