Thither her paramour followed '« r oa Sunday, and on meeting with a cool reception from the girl, whom he found at tne bar, without saying a -word fired at her wiJl a bulldog revolver, which he had concealed in hia breast pocket. He niiss" 1 fir* three times, and the girl's screams having summoned assistance, she contrived to escape. The first to arrive was a polieeniAD, who, while struggling with the aggressor, received a. bullet in the abdomen, infl . ic .y n ;j a dangerous injury.
