STILL ENSHROUDED
DEEP MYSTERY
Tuesday Night's Shooting Has Not Yet
Been Explained.
THE VICTIM GIVES HIS VERSION
Says Tivo Masked Men Domanded
That lie Uive Vp the liirl and the
t nrriitsr, and in the Fight Follow
in; His Itclusal They s-liot Him.
The (iirl, Ci-liu t'lurk. Says i.er
First Storv V. us False.
There la still no acceptable explana
tion of Tm-sday night's mysterious
sluotlni; afl'iay. Fclydx uml 'the Clark
Bill still uilhere to their disjointed and
soiiit-what linprnl aide s-tory 'that two
men a-ushcl out from the woods upon,
them and shot tithidz without caus.;
or r -a son. He Is too weak to plve nny
extended d scriptlon of tho affair ami
she refused to go Ihto details, claiming:
when lnished for tin explanation that
she "did not notice" that she "was too
excitcil."
Tho police do not accept Si holz's and
the kIH's. uccf.un't of the affair but tt'e
nt a b'.s to offer a butter explanation.
They worked on tho theory that the
Kirl's lover committed the deed but gave
it up when it va.i found that thlsi per
sonage hail been in the central city
at the time when thu fhootintr is kui
posttl to have occurred, which is be
tween 10,i and 11 o'clock. The lover
known about the town ns English Tim.
m In Morris' ynloon, it is said when
Schola and the Kill started away lit 9
o'clock. It is usbtrted that he was vt ry
jeabuis of her nnd this coupled with
the report that he saw them .Mart off
together, led the police to suspect that
possibly he followed In tho direction
they took and came upon them when
they luilud.
The re; ort that the police had found
the blanket and buffalo robe, left behind
on the crass, is not true. Chief Holding
and Lieutenant Davis hunted for them
nt 1 o'clock in the morninpr nml again
at daybreak, but no trace of them cotiltl
le discovered. The police belbrve Hint
the assailants may yet disclose their
Idintity by trying; to dispute of the
robe and blankets.
SCIIOLZ MAY KECOVEH.
In the opinion of the hospital physi
cian, Si liolz's chances of recovery are
pood. The bullet Altered on the ii;Vit
side nt the fifth rib, perforated the
lung- and lodged just beneath the skin
at the extreme end of the riffht should
er blade. No attempt has been made
to remove the bullet owing to his wuk
condition. Seholz has another slight
wound on the palm of his rlpbt hand
about Jit the base of the thumb. It
could have been caused, House Sur
geon I'.lunchnrd says, by the same bul
Kt which entered the breast.
A Tribune reporter saw him nt Hvj
hospital last night and ho told ma
terially the same story ns did the
Clark pirl when taken into custody. It
' was with great dllliculty that he talked
I nnrl tin. I'ntifirlni' rufl'ii ilii.il IVnm rmu
tioning him nt length. He said he
hadn't the slightest Idea who his ns
ruilunts weie or why they attacked
him. They gave no sign or Indication
that they knew him. lie Jumped to
his feet when he heard them rushing
towards them and when ttiey came up
to him demanded to know what they
wanted. They told him he would have
to ''Kit" and leave the plrl mid the
carriage to them. He declined to do
anything of the kind, whereupon they
pitched on to him. He fought to de
fend himself and they shot h'm. He
ran to the carriage and was helped in
by the girl who had run nt the first
alarm and headed the horse towards
the city. He drove about two block
before he was aware that he was shot.
He wb-died to have it stated that what
ever anyone said that the girl should
not be ni eused.
I'LIKD WITH QUESTIONS.
The police plied the Clark plrl with
questions nt frequent Intervals during;
the day, but could not learn unylhitiK
from her that would throw any new
light on the affair.. She admitted that
her first story to the effect that they
were in the carriage when Seholz was
shot, was false. The story she now
tells Is that she was sitting alongside
Seholz, smoking a cigarette, when tho
two masked nun rushed out of the
woods nnd made for them. She ran
Hcreaminfr towards Ihq carriage, untied
the horse and turned the carriage
nrouiul. She heard two shoti nnd then
saw Seholz hurrying towards the car-
rlage. She helped him In anil us they
; drove off another shot was liivd. The
last shot fihe says was filed in the air.
Stones were also thrown at them us
they were driving away.
The Rlrl scouted the Idea that her
lover did the shooting, "lnilcd he'd
be the last man in the world to do sueii
n thing." she said. She was taken bo
fore Alderman Millar nnd bound over
as a witness. Hail in the sum of fsoo
was required and us she could not fur
nish It she was committed. She had the
distinction of being the first prisoner to
occupy a cell In ti e new women's ward
In the central station house.
The point where the shooting oc
curred is at the extreme end o' Wash
ington avenue, near the Throop borough
line. According to the city map it is
nbout two and one-half miles from the
city hall.
Information was lortgad at headquar
ters last night that a man named
Frank Molr heard a woman's screams
in that locality about 11 o'clock Tues
day night. .The report did not say
whether he had also heard the shots.

CHURCH TROUBLE
IS MTOYER YET
Father Anst Sleeps with a Breech
loader Within Reach.
CARDINAL SATOLLI APPEALED TO
Much to tho Dissatisfaction of the
Members of the Committee They
Were Keferred Hack to Ilishop
llolmiiKcport That Another Dis.
turbiuicc Wus to Take l'laco Last
Plight.
Tho I'olbh Catholic church troubles
ere not over yet. A meeting; of those
arrayed against Hcv. Father Aust wus
held last nii.iit In Wilczek's hall on
South Wyoming nvenue, and they cie
eided to remain as determined as ever
In their efforts to have him removed
from the pastorate. An ex-prlest
named Dlmpaki was present at the
meeting; '
Joseph Nytch, president of the antl
clrment, and Martin Habilga, treas
urer, wont to lialtimore nnd laid the
case before Cardinal Saiolll. They ar
rived home at 3 o'clock yesterday af
ternoon and made their report at the
nieetiiiK. The cardinal did not (rive
them any satisfaction, but told them
that LMshop Hoban will deal with their
case. He advised them against any
violence. Their interview wus short
and they returned in anything but a
well pleased frame of mind.
The Kev. Mr. Dlmpskl made a speech
rnd tirm-d them not to submit to
Father Aust. Daniel I.angowskl was
called on for remarks and responded.
A collection was 'la';en up to pay the
fine of S.10 imposed upon Malhlns Suf
ka by Alderman Millar. They ore de
termined to keep up the agitation
apulnst Father Aust who says he will
remain on the ground and fight it out
with them.
GFAHD ON DUTY.
Since Sunday night about fifteen
men have remained on guard around
the church and priest's house. They
ore armed with revolvers and rifles'
nnd there will be some blood spilled It
any attempt is made to molest the
priest after dark. Father Aust has
been told that threats .were made that
the church and sisters' school and hla
house would be set on fire.
He asked the sisters to go away for
awhile until the trouble Is settled, but
they prefer to remain and not close up
the school. Pome one circulated the
report that It was decided tit the meet
ing In Wllczek's hall last night ns
Foon as they adjourned to march one
doing one way and another, another
way, no two to go together, but all to
march upon the church and take Fath
er Aust out and batter down the hour
The police heiird of this and fur awhile
tin: telephone wires were kept hot be
tween the South Side and the central
station. Lleutenunt Zing, Patrolmen
Hiirirerty, Oeorge Jones, C.esoheidle,
Holnnd, Sartor and Neuls were pre
pared to move toward the church at the
first sign of an outbreak.
A Tribune reporter went to tho
church nt 11.13 and everything wns
quiet. Five or six men were at the
front gate nnd back farther in the
church yard could be seen several mov
ing about. Father Aust came out and
appeared to bo not in any (Treat dread.
He says the first one that comes with
a hostile snlrit to his house after he
goes to bed will very likely bo a proper
subject for the coroner's jury. He has
a double-barreled breechloader within
hnndy reach.
There was an nlr of subdued evcite
mcnt on the street in front of the
church. Every twenty feet there was
u woman out with a shawl on her head
and knots of men were gatlieied mi the
corners. They were brought out from
hearing of the expected attack on the
church.
MKFTINC, ON SATURDAY.
The antl-rlcnient will bold a meot
Inp SaUuday night ami decide en -vliat
to do Sunday. U another such crowd
gathers In the bai k yard of the church
to prevent Father Aust from sayinfr
mass as that which tried it last Sun
day, there will no doubt be a different
result.
The discontented members of the
church will send another committee to
wait upon Ilishop Hoban. It will prob
ably go to Ashley toduy to see him.
SL'FKA FINED FIFTY DOLLARS.
ltcfuscd to Cay It by Advice of His
Attorney.
Another of the nil-god participants
in Sunday's disturbance at the Polish
church was arrested yesterday. He Is
Matthias Sufka and It Is charged
against him that he was one of those
who Incited the women to aj?ill!t the
oMeers nnd that It was he nisi who
(h'spolled Ofieer Dyer and Patrolman
Schmidt of their clubs. When arrested
he had Oflcor Dyer's club In his pocket.
At the hearing before Alderman Mil
lar, his attorney, Charles K. Olver. en
tered a plea of ret guilty and jiroeeed-d
to show that Sufka wai not creat'ng
any disturbance; that he could not obey
the officer's command to leave the
premises because he was hemmed In by
the crowd and that he only i;iabbed the
officer's club to prevent himself from
being hit.
The two policemen, Dyer nnd
Schmidt, took the stand and testified
that Sufka was In the crowd that push
ed tho police through the fence, and
that he is the one who disarmed them
both. In answer to Mr. Olvev's ques
tions they each In turn admitted that
the crowd was ercatiiifT no disturbance
when the police started in to disperse
them and both stated that they were
aware that the people were on th"ir
own premises. When this was brought
out Mr. Olver argued that Sufka had
a right to disarm the officers If he could,
as a citizen does rot have to submit to
an illegal arrest. The alderman, how
ever, would not listen to this conten
tion. SUFKA'S EXPLANATION.
Sufka was put on the stand and ex
plained that he went to Patrolman
Schmidt's home on his way to work
yesterday morning lo return to hlin the
club he bnd wrested from Officer Dyer
and the other which had been turned
over to him by the young man whom he
alleges took It from Patrolman
Schmidt. This Is how he happened to
have them In his possession and how
one of them was on his person when he
was arrested. He retained the clubs
until yesterday on the advice of his
attorney.
At the outset of the hearing Mr. Ol
ver OFked that the evidence be reduced
to writlnff and the objections of coun
sel noted. This the alderman declined
to do, saying it was neither customary
nor obligatory. Mr. Olver protested
that It was obligatory when demand
ed. It stands to reason, he said, that
when a case Is appealed, as this one
would be, the court of review must
have a record of the proceedings by
which they might arrive at a conclu
sion. The alderman replied that this
particular cose would not admit of ap
peal as an alderman'8 decision in this
kind of a proceeding was final. Mr.
Olver saidi "We'll see about that," and
asked for Judgment.
The alderman adjudged Sufka guilty
of both charges and fined him JiO.
AUTHORITY OF THE POLICE.
It wn not his place, he said, to
Judge whether or not the police had a
right to disperse the crowd at tne
church on the Sunday in question. It
was enough for him to know that of
ficers sent there on the authority of
the city had been assailed nnd that
they lind met with resistance. The de
fendent, he was satisfied, was impli
cated, nnd he would, under the law,
have to suffer nummary punishment.
Mr. Olver wanted to have hl3 client
held over for, court but this the alder
man refused to do. Then he asked
that ball should be accepted for his
appearance If at the end of five days
an appeal should not be granted. The
nblermnn again refused to comply,
holding that no appeal could he taken.
Mr. Olver thereupon directed his
client to go to Jail. He unwillingly
complied, preferring to pay the fine
than to l Ulu lack in the patrol wagon.
MINOOKA PRACTICAL JOKERS.
They Caused n Goad Ileal of F.vcitc
ment About Taylor.
Peoplu down in Taylor and Mlnooka
are Jusit recovering from a genm'al
fever brought on- by fright. There wns
a boll In Weber's Kink Tuesday night
and among the dancers were n number
of Mlnooka young people. ' Ahout one
o'clock the bund played "Home Swtvt
Home" and the followers, of the fan
tastic wended their way homeward.
When the Minookn young people reach
ed the small brUrgr- which spans the
Iickawannu near the Taylor station,
they stopped, l-nuse (swinging from
a. top girder of the bridge wns a rope
and on the lower end of the rope was
n body. It waa Just dark enough to be
feaKul.
The Mlnooka crowd drew back hur
riedly uml with jumping hearts. About
one-hundired ynads from the bridge a
consultnitlon wn liad. What was to bo
done? Some suggested that he police
be Informed of the sulclire. Hut no Tay
lor policeman was known. After an
hour's wail, a couple of the young men
gathered their scattered courage and
approached the bridge.
They threw- stones at the body; they
hit It, and it swung lightly In the air
from, tho force of the blow. It was to
feathery fmr real flesh and after several
more shots the boys decided that It was
a hoax. About 3 o'clock the hut Ml
