DISCHARGED A REVOLVER
William Matthews, a Young Man Who
Lives on South Garfield Avenue,
Alarms the Neighborhood.
Yesterday morning between R nnel 9
o'clock the residents In thu vicinity of
320 South Garfield avenue, were star
tled by the report of a pistol shot heard
In the homo of William Matthew h at
that nuntlier. Mr. Matthews, sr., had
Rine to ills work and there remained
In the house Mrs. Matthuus and her
two sons, William, nKed 21 years, and
a younser lad between 12 and 13 years
of ace.
For about six or seven weeks tho
cider son has been out of woik and nt
times became very despondent over his
failure to secure employment. Yester
day morning the mother had occasion
to reprimand the younger son and Wil
liam evidently believed his mother
meant the chastisement for him. With
out any word of warning he went lilto
nn adjoining room and took from a
bureau drawer n. 22-callhie revolver,
which' contained one cartridge, and
discharged it. Whether the act was
done with suicidal Intent Is not known,
ns the young man refused to make any
statement. The mother became alarm
f il and dUpatched a messenger for Dr.
Coimgjs, who examined the young
man nnd found him suffeilng fiom ner
muh iirrmti.itlon. There was no evi
dent that he had injured himself, al
though lu fell In a lit after the re
oler wm discharged. A thorough
inv estimation of the loom failed to re
eal any evidence of the shooting,
which strengthens the belief that tho
revolver contained a blank cartiidge.
Young Matthews foimerly worked
for John Keese, the South Main avenue
Rioter, and came Into possession of tho
weapon while In his employ. George,
n son of Mr. lleese, heard Matthews
hay he would like to possess a revolver
when dcliviiliis goods In lonely places
and the revolver was given him by
young Hoebe at that time.
Matthews has been subject to hys
teria, for some time, and hlB parents
believe that lit was suffering from a
temporary nbeiintlon, when he took the
revolver out and discharged it.
RUN DOWN DV A BICYCLE.
A Siv-Vcar-Old loy Injured on
Itoliinsou Street.
Several small boys were playing base
ball yesterday afternoon on Robinson
street near I.onergan's eott. and they
did not seem to mind the vehicles and
bicycles that are continually pasblng
that way. A young man was return
ing to the central city on his wheel
shortly nfter tho noon hour, and saw
tho bojs playing in the street, nnd
rang his bell, but the boys did not heed
the warning. Just as the rider ap
proached a b'oy standing near tho
street car Hack, he was hoi i Hied to
sec the lad tin ti and lun directly In
front of tho wheel.
One of the boys had throw n the ball
to the little; fellow, who In turn missed
catching it, and In his endeavor to re
cover the sphere did not heed the ling
ing bell and ran into the bicycle. Tho
collision resulted in tho rider being
thrown from his wheel and iccelving
several bodily biulses while tho boy's
head was cut open by coming in con
tact with tho pavement. The wheel
man quickly recoveied himself and
hastened to the olllce of Dr. F. C. Hall,
while the Injured lad was taken into
a nearby house.
Vpon investigation it was found that
the boy sustained an ugly scalp wound
nnd was severely shaken up.
