SHOTS BRIGHTEN
HOSPITAL NURSES
Police Ascribe 1t to Firing by
Disappointed Lover.

A climax OF love affair said to have
started eight months ago in a hospital
at Eft. Wayne was reached at $40 O'clock
this morning when the disappointed lover
fired four shots from a revolver near
the Methodist hospital nurses homo,
1850 North Meridian street.
When the police arrived the man had
disappeared, but there was wild excite
ment among the nurses.
The police reports show that W. n.
Madison, "a formerly an orderly in tho
FIT. Wayne hospital, but who has been
in this city for two weeks, is alleged to
have Aired the shots, but that he escaped
following the shooting.
Miss Mary Maxwell, 20, a nurse, is the
young woman with whom Madison is
said to be In love.
She told the police she was a nurse
at the Fit. Wayne hospital, where she
met Madison, and that he wanted hel
to marry him, but that she refused.
Miss Maxwell admitted she had ac.
companied Madison to Fairylew park yes
terdsy, and that She again refused his
proposal of marriage.
The details Of the alleged shooting af.
fair are lacking but persons in the neigh
borhood say that three shots were fired
in the rear of the nurses home building
and later another shot was fired at the
side of the building.

In the. last story you remember Puss
Junior and the Blackbird were in the
cavern of the little dwarf, way down deep
underground, and when the lights went
out Puss had turned his magic ring
around three times and then the lights
appeared. And, oh, yes After that, the
dwarf tried to steal the ring from Puss.
suppose he thought 1t would be fine
thing for him to have a ring like that.
But he didn't get it. For Puss wouldn't
have parted with that ring for a for
tune, let me, tell you. And when that
wicked dwarf tried to pull it away from
Puss, our little hero drew his sword and
said:
Have a care, dwarf, lest I kill you
with my trusty blade." and you can
well imagine the dwarf stepped out of
the way, for he didn't want to be killed
any more than you do or I do.
And now for your treachery," cried
Fuss, give me a bagful of your dia-
monds" And because the dwarf didnt
go at once to get them, Puss gave him
prick with the point Of his sword, and
then you should have seen how fast that
dwarf went. And when he had filed a
little sack full Of the precious stones, he
handed them to Puss
Now lead lis up TO EARTH" and Puss
gave the dwarf another prick with the
point Of his sword to make him obey
quickly. Well, pretty soon after that
Puss and the Blackbird walked out of
the little door in the old dead pine tree,
and you can well imagine they were glad
once more to see the bright sunshine.
Now let me give you a piece Of ad-
vice." said Puss to the dwarf. Dom
You ever try to hurt people who trust
you, for I belieYe even IL I hadn't had
10y magic ring that the good fairies In
the forest would have saved me from
you, for Good always conquers Evil,
and then Puss strobe away and by and
| by he and the Blackbird came to n great,
tremendous egg lying under u tree.
well, IL that isn't the largest egg /
ever saw" cried the Blackbird. ait

over to the great egg and tried to break
1t with his sword. But, of course, he
couldn't, for the shell was as hard 0s
iron and thicker than a board.
And then a little yellow bird began
to sing:
Hold your golden feather
Underneath the egg;
Then say, fiddle dumpty,
Mary. Martha. Meg!'
So Puss did as he was told, although
1t seemed very foolish TO say all those
names, and in the next story I'll tell
ycu what happened after that.-Copy-
right, 1920.

when the state failed to show which of
the defendants had won or lost money.
Judge Bingham refused to dismiss the
visiting charges, declaring that there was
strong evidence of gambling.
Lee was the star witness for the de-
Tense, but a negro who said his name
was Williams testified that he was the
secretary of the club and that he always
stood at the door to make the members
show their cards as they entered.
The police say Williams was not the
man who orened the door to admit the
member when they rushed through and
raided the club.
Lee admitted on cross-examination
that he had paid fines for gambling
The conviction OF Lee and the sixteen
others caught in the raid caused SEN
sation among the police and among the
negroes of the avenue district, as
'Goosie," professional bondsman and
prominent political worker, had always
been described as hard to catch and
harder to convict"
