MRS. M'NEIL'S
WOUND IS not
VERY SERIOUS
w Woman Shot Last Night is
at Her Home
Know Who Fired.

Mrs. J. L. Mcneil, 523 North Fourth
street.. who was shot by unknown
parties last night, is at her home rest
ing comfortably and, apparently, not
a bit unnerved by the experience.
When seen this afternoon, Mrs. Nc
Neil said that about 10:30 last night
she was walking on. Walnut street
with Mrs. Carpenter, 119 Cottonwood
street. and Mrs. w. E. Ruddy, 523
and Mrs. Ruddy were taking Mrs.
Carpenter to her home from a sup
per party. 1t was just starting to
rain and Mrs. Carpenter had just re-
marked that the neighborhood was so
lawfully lonely. and that anything
might happen there when Mrs. Nc
Neil suddenly exclaimed: I'm shot,
Her companions thought that Mrs.
Mcneil was joking, but a stream of
blood coming down her face con-
WINGED them that the shooting was
sufficiently actual.
No Bullet Found.
As soon as possible, temporary shell
ter vas sought in a store in the i'm
mediate neighborhood and a tele-
phone message was sent to a local
surgeon as we'll as a taxicab company.
Soon the party was being driven to a
hospital where Mrs. Mcneil was put
on an operating table n a search
made for the bullet. None could be
found, however, and as soon as the
wound had been dressed, Mrs. Mcneil
went to her home.
Discussing the incident, Mrs. Nc
Neil said:
81 haven't an enemy in the world.
so I don't know who would eve think
OF shooting me. u the more I think
of the matter. the clearer it becomes
to me that the bullet was meant for
me. I'm not positive that 1 heard
the report of a pistol. out think that
I dtd-you know I was just a little bit
excited, as anyone would be-nor am
/ absolutely sure that 1 saw any fash.
But the wound was there and the
blood was there, all right.
Wouldn't Aid Mrs. Mcneil.
zone circumstance that struck me
as rather queer was that after I had
been shot we walked toward a store
and on the way met two young fell
lows, one after the other. whom we
asked to telephone for a doctor. They
simply turned their back to us and
went away.
ut is a wonder that I wasn't killed
for I am certain that whoever fired
the bullet was not more than four OF
five feet away from me. I cannot ex.
plain anything, for I was as much
surprised as anyone. and still am"

ARE GETTING
SUPPLY EARLY
Many Coal Orders Have
Been Received by Local
Dealers.

Many Grand Forks people nave al
ready put in their orders for their
winter supply of coal, and in this
connection Fuel Administrator R. B.
Griffith, of districts 1 and 2 said yes
elday that anthracite coal is bound
to be limited this year and the supply
OF bituminous coal is also expected
to be much less than in former years.
Every possible pound Of anthracite
be. should be saved when it is so
badly needed by the government.
With a view of conserving fuel. the
United States fuel administration has
under consideration the rationing of
domestic of coal under a
plan which comprehends a censorship
of every order or Goa received by
ed with a figure obtained by a very
simple and effective formulate, show
ing the rating of the houses where
the Goa is to be used, the actual in
spection of all doubtful cases and a
checking up through inspectors of
statements made by ho%useholders as
to the coal on hand. the space to be
heated and the heating system nj
ployed, and an effective refusal to
furnish any householder more coal
than a scientific analysis shows is
necessary if requisite care is taken in
the heating of the houses. All con
sumers h have obtained a quantity
of coal in excess Of their allotments
or who by deceit and misrepresenta-
ton have violated any rules or regu-
lations of the United States fuel adj
mlnistration, will be prosecuted. :
With the shortage Of coal confront
ing the country, it is only through
such detailed regulations hat a neces-
sary supply a be insured to all. The
fuel administration expects everyone
to recognize the necessity and rhe rea-
son for such supervision and to CO.
operate fully with the local commit
tees entrusted with carrying cut the
| plan.

DEALERS HAVE
VERY LITTLE it'll
COAL ON HAND
Shortage May Mark Next
Season, But is not Thought
to be Serious.

A survey of the local coal situation
was made today, and interviews with
fuel dealers brought the result that
while they fear there will be a short
age of coal during the winter, it may
not be nearly as serious as some
pessimists have prophesied. At the
present time very little coal is on
hand, but dealers say that this doesn't
matter SO much in view of he fact
that the consumption is comparative
ly light. 1t is not the present, but
the future that causes some worry
here and there.
One dealer said he had a few days
supply in his yards, but most of the
others admitted that they were with
out n kind of hard coal. a.
1t has been suggested. it was said
today. that hard coal will not be used
as extensively in the coming winter
as before, because the government
has indicated that it likes to see
cash basis. The theory is that when
people cannot purchase hard coal on
credit, they will not buy it or need 1t
in as large quantities as before. At
the present time 80 e cent of the
1915 and 1917 supply has been prom
iscd local dealers who say that now
they have to deal with Fuel Admin
istrator Isaac Baker instead Of with
the shippers direct. ,
One of the dealers said this after
noon that he regretted very much his
inability to obtain any official .infor-
nation regarding his prospects of OBJ
tanning any coal. I'VE have sent in
our orders long ago." he said, land
people have filed orders with Us. All
we can do is to receive these orders
and to place our WAN then sit
down and wait until some word
comes. to the effect hat relief is in
sight ,one&way Or the other" s.@ssss
No shortage of soft Goa is feared
although a few yards report that they
have no coal whatsoever on hand.
