head, another went through an arm
and a third lodged in his knee.
ROBBER IS FOLLOWED.
Short fell back In his berth and the
robber fled towards the rear of the
train. Passengers in the other cars
aroused by the shots followed , him.
They saw him back out of the door
of the observation car and drop from
the train, which was Just being brought
to a stop. He left blood stains In the
aisles and on the car platform and
the passengers said he appeared to be
badly hurt. It was believed that two
of the bullets fired by Short struck
the bandit.
C. G. Gibson, conductor in charge of
the train, when he heard the shooting
seized a pistol and accompanied by a
porter, a brakeman and express mes
senger started for the Pullman car.
Before they could clear the aisles of
passengers so they could use their
weapons, the robber had leaped rom
the train.
An ambulance took Short to a hos
pital. Physicians there said while his
wounds were serious, they ola not
consider them fatal.
Short is one of the wealthiest mine
owners of Jasper county, operating
zinc and lead mines in that district.
Six years ago he was a miner working
for wages.
SHORT MAKES STATEMENT.
Short was able to make a statement
after his arrival at the hospital.
"I had two pocketbooks concealed in
my berth, he said, "one containing a
thousand dollars In currecy and in the
other were Just a few dollars. It is
my custom to divide my money in this
manner when traveling with & large
sum. I had always figured m case of
a robbery that I would surrender the
purse containing the smaller sum.
When the robber shook me and de
manded my money, I was for an in
stant confused and only about half
awake. During this interval I moved
the pillow and shoved back the covers
exposing the purse containing the
larger amount. Realizing what I had
done. I tried to hide the purse In the
bed clothes again, hut the robber was
too quick for me.
" 'What was that? he asked the
porter. "A pocketbook," was the an-
"Reach in and get It,' the" robber
commanded and despite my efforts to
prevent It, the porter grabbed the
purse and handed it to the robber.
"As he turned away I got my pistol
from under the pilow and began shoot
ing at him. He returned the fire and
disabled me.
"He failed, however, to get a dia
mond ring valued at $2,000 and seven
twenty-dollar gold pieces, which were
In a pocket of my trousers."

tory those In which the president
said that he thought some of the legis
lators had acted in bad faith with ref
erence to the measure.
The president listened intently and
then, it is reported, he replied:
"That's not denunciation; those are
facts." He was surprised, he added,
according to those who attended the
meeting, that Mr. McDermott had seen
ft "to put the cap on."
At this point the assemblyman
sought to cross-examine the president
in an endeavor to pin him down spe
cifically as to the nature of the bill
he thought should be enacted, but Mr.
Wilson sat down, refusing to answer.
Acting Governor Fielder here stepped
into the breach and said calming
words.
In the lobby of the Carteret club af
terward there was a heated discussion
of the incident. Several legislators
criticized Mr. McDermott for what
they called a breach of etiquette.
