A Series of Fortunate Circumstances

and C. W. Hei k. who were o :iMm1

Yesterday Chief of Police lieorse Kills
received another donation of 110 from :i
well 'known attorney of the city to Sf
added to the fund for the benefit of flic
two wounded officers.
The shooting has been discussed cr
freely by local officers who are acquaint
d with the circumstances and many of
them are of the opinion that the two
wounded officers escaped Instant deatli
onlv hv several fortunate conditions. It
is said thai the ten-gauge shotgun which
wa used to do the shooting Is loose at
the breei h and that looseness. 11 Is con-
tended has the effect nf breaking th"
force of the shot to some' extent. It has
nlso developed that the man who did th"
shooting used No shot InsteHd of 4s
hv only the merest chance. He had eight
shell four of which were No 4 and
four fo 6 shot a-id it is supposed that
In taking the cartridges from his pocket
to load the asjn he picked up the first
he came to which happened to be loaded
with No. 6 shot It Is claimed that the
two officer would have been killed if
the No shot had been used.
The heavy clothing worn by Officer
onroe had considerable to do with
reaklng-Hhe force of the shot that struck
him Monroe was struck below the belt
an.l the Bhots in order to reach his body
bad to go through a thickness of six
articles of clothlng -
The wounds of Officer Heck are located
at a point where most of the small shot
were prevented from entering the Interior
of the abdomen by the sheath of ribs on
the left side of his laidy.
