THREE VERSIONS OF THE STORY EXTANT
Oae is that Shooting; Was Accidental,

Assert Was with Malice,
Robert Young, 3028 Broadway; Orrln
Hunt, 3033 Avenue J, and Arthur Miller, 8122
Avenue II, three young fellows who were
"scalping" or "pot" shooting outside the
grounds of the gun club near the river
yesterday afternoon, filed an Information
In Justice Ouren's court last evening char
ging one of the participants In the shooting
tournament with deliberately shooting at
them.-
Young received several shot In the back,
Hunt received two or three shot in the
face and neck, while Miller had his coat
shot full of holes, but escaped injury. Sev
eral versions of tho affair were current at
police headquarters last night. One ver
sion was that the boys, who were watch
ing on the outside of the grounds for a
stray shot at any bird that might fly over
the fence, were accidentally shot. The
boys, however. Insist that one of the par
ticipants In the tournament came out of
the grounds and deliberately shot at them.
They claim to know the name of the man
who shot at them and filed an informa
tion against him, but his name could not
be learned last night. A third version Is
that the boys had been ordered away, but
they refused to go and one of the shooters
fired over their heads to frighten them,
when they turned round and fired back a
regular volley.
Considerable annoyance has been experi
enced by the participants In the tourna
ment this year from the "pot" shooters
who hang around the outside and several
complaints were made to the police.

to Be Drawn Into Controversy

Convention.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DE8 MOINES. Feb. 6. (Sprvlal.) The
bill to establish a system of state mar
shals for Iowa to look after the violators
of the liquor law and to enforce prohibi
tion where It is not enforceable under the
present laws, was formally launched In
the legislature today by presentation of
the state marshal bill by Mr. Harris of
Poweshiek county. The bill provides for
districting the state for marshals and one
shall be appointed In each district by the
governor and he shall havo power to name
deputies to work by tho day. The deputies
may be transferred from one district to
another. The bill is being pushed by an
organisation having about 100 clubs In
the state, all orgunlxed by A. C- Rankin
of Chicago In the past year for the es
pecial purpose of urging this law. The
temperance organizations are not very
strtyigly for the measure.
The house of representatives adopted Its
rules for the session today. The commit
tee on rules offered some amendments.
Including a rule that no appropriation bill
may be Introduced after March 1 except
by the committee on npproprlatlons. Tho

to be printed, including half to be of
pocket size and 200 copies to be bound In
flexible leather.

and issued only by the county auditor.
