Elkton, Md, July 24.-The Rena stock
company, who are playing a week gage
ment at Rising Sun under tent, had
near tragedy few nights ago when one
of the actors shot at an escaped prisoner
in the drama. The gun ussd was lppo 3 Il
to have blank shell, but the scene proved
a little too realistic to the actors than was
comfortable.
The gun was fired just as the escaped
prisoner disappeared behind the scenes,
when it developed that his escape was
narrow, as IL was loaded she'll and the
charge passed over his head, tearing
hole in the tent, narrowly missing the
ticket seller and striking the Cameron
dwelling, across the street.
No one was injured, but the performers
had the scare Of their lives and there were
no more shooting scenes during the rest
of the week
