PRENTICE MAKES HARD FIGHT FOR
 L|FE; IMPROVED
Recovering from Shock o Wounds-Physicians to
 Operate Late Today.

With four bullets from 32 calibe- revolver in his body, two in his breast, one in the abdomen and tn fourth in kidney, Billy" Prentice shot in Front Street cafe Wednes day night, was making q game figh for life at St. Anns Hospital today He has a fighting chance to pull through, apparently, made possible for him largely by his own deter imitation to live.
 Not the slightest hope was held out yesterday for Prentice's recovery and several times during the day rumors of his death were in general eircu lation around the streets. Dr. w A. Borland, who is In attendance, held out no hope at all yesterday. He said today, however. that Prentice rested we'll last night and slept much of the time. The shock of the wounds is passing away and Pren. tIce Is some stronger today.
 He was so weak yesterday that f was impossible to attempt to remove the bullets. Dr. Borlahd called Dr. II. c. Devighne in consultation today and it was decided to operate late this afternoon. as it was not deem. ed wise to postpone removal of the bullets longer than is absolutely nee essary. The wound in the kidney is said to be particularly dangerous as well as that in the lung.
 Shows Real Gameness.
 The wounded man is showing a real quality of gameness, said Dr Borland, which is half of the battle He is ready to undergo any treat ment, however strenuous, and hal no idea of giving up.
 In response to suggestion that ht make a post mortem, or dying state ment, Prentice absolutely decried the idea and good naturedly declared he had no intention of dying.
 His physician, however, is not SC confident. Prentice, he said is 1T dangerous condition and will need all his confidence and every bit ol aid that surgery, medical science ant nursing can give to him if he win! his splendid fight to recover.
 .. Lott Not Arraigned. m ...
 "Billy" Lott. the negro barber wht shot Prentice is still confined in { cell in the local federal jail under 2 charge of shooting with intent tc kill, He has not been arraigned ant bis examination will probably no be held before next Tuesday. it wa. announced at the U. s. Attorneys office.
 Lott called H. L. Faulkner to set him this morning and 1t is probable that MT. Faulkner will be retained to defend him. He has added noth ing to-, nor has he changed, the state inent made shortly after his arres Wednesday night.

VIENNA SUPPORTS 73,ooo DOGS

VIENNA, July 6.-From a census which has just been taken in Vienna it appears that the city has 73,000 dogs, or twice as many as in peace time At first sight it would even seem remarkable that so many peo- pie in this poverty-ridden city should be keeping dogs
 One of the principal reasons is the increase in the number of burglaries householders to keep dogs for pro- tection. Watchmen with police dogs are employed to guard the great Cen tral Cemetery from which a number of bodies have been stolen.
