SHOT IW1 THE BACK
Mysterious Attempt at Assassination
Near Boies Car Wheel Works.
MAY POSSIBLY END IN MURDER
William Gurd of Ash Street Was Crossing
.th Tlold Near the Boies Stool
vYheel Works and an Unknown
Man Shot lliuj Twice.
Something very mysterious at pres
ent surrounds a case of probable mur
der that happened between 9 and 10
o'clock Monduy evening In the field
near the Boles Steel Wheel works.
William Uurd.m arrled, aged 80 years,
living at 106 Ash street, on his way
home from Dunmore, was shot twice
by some unknown person and his condi
tion is such that It is very difficult on
the purt of the physicians at the Lacka
wanna hospital, where he Is resting, to
state yet whether he will live or die.
He Is not unconscious, although very
weak, and the story lie gives Is that he
was coming through the field; near the
wheel works. It being bright, he no
ticed seated under a ttee a man and
woman. He believed that they were
enjoying the beautiful weather, and the
path along which he wus traveling
toward home brought Mm quite close
to the spot where the couple wus sit
ting. He did not recognize either of
them, but noticed thut they were
young.
He Got Shot in the llnck.
The first Intimation In- hud of any
danger was after he hud gone- fifty or
more feet beyond the spot, A thought
Intuitively flashed upon him to look
behind, und there he saw the man run
ning to overtake him. lie ran, too, and
his pursuer fired from a revolver two
shots, both tuklng effect.
The first bullet fired struck him in
the back part of the right shoulder and
cume out under the collar bone in
front. The second shot took effect In
the dorsal part of the right side In the
lower part and the bullet went into the
abdominal cavity.
The shock did nut sluckeu his speed
and he ran with all tils energy. Tin;
assassin was behind him and Gurd
could hear the click of the pistol In the
effort to keep up the firing. (Jurd Is
sure that the weapon got out of order
and failed to work, or else he would
have been riddled with all the bullets
In the revolver. He ran home, which
is not far away, and much of his life
blood had been lost he was very weak
and soon became unconscious.
McJIeal Assistance Summoned.
It was 'i o'clock yesterday morning
when Dr. P. H. MeAndrews, of Linden
street and Washington avenue, was sent
for to attend him. The doctor stanched
the flow of blood and bandaged the
wounds. At the Instance of Dr. Mo
Andrews, Gurd was sent to the Lacka
wanna hospital. He was received there
yesterday afternoon and the surgeons
probed for the bullet that remains In
the abdomen, but did not succeed In
removing it. His condition last night
at a late hour was said to be much Im
proved. Dr. MeAndrews was seen last evening
by a Tribune reporter and gave out the
opinion that Gurd will probably die.
Gnrd's Statement Taken.
Chief of Police Simpson was notified
and he went to the hospital and took the
wounded man's statement, the same as
It Is given above. In corroboration, the
watchman at the wheel works snys that
he heard shots at the hour this is said
to have happened.
The chief of police has no clue to the
man who did the shooting, and alto
gether it Is a puzzling case, If Qurd's
story be true. There may be something
more definite today.
TIIE BALLOON WENT UP.
Contained Gift from the Green Rldgo
Wheelmen.
The Green nidge wheelmen sent a
balloon up from their club house last
night, with an order for a ticket for
their Lake Ariel excursion tomorrow,
attached. The balloon rose gracefully
to the clouds until It was a mere speck,
floating toward the North End. About
10 o'clock Harry Hayes, of Dean street,
called at the club house, presented the
order and received a ticket. He cap
tured the balloon on Dean street, where
it fell.
The excursion will no doubt be a suc
cess, as the club has spared neither
pains nor expense, and have provided
amusement for all tastes. A complete
band and orchestra will be present,
which will Insure danclng'and also an
open air concert..
The train will leave the Erie and Wy
oming Valley depot, Washington ave
nue, at 8.30; New York street at 8.35, to
morrow morning.
