"Tha third abot fired, and the on which hit him, I fired Involuntarily, and before 1 waa ready to da so on account of step ping Into a hole or depression lit the side walk. It caused ma to stumble and nearly tall upon my face. As I did so 1 Instinct ively threw out my hands to save myself and tha pistol waa discharged without my meaning to do ao. I had not shot at Scott at all and did not Intend to, but, on the Other hand, waa careful not to take any chance of hitting him. My reason for fir ing at all was not to hit Scott, but to alarm tha officers on the beat toward which we were running In order that they might bead oft the man and apprehend Mm."

Chewing tobacco seems to be the busiest thing about the grocery Jobbing houses now. Almost all of this article of diet Is furnished to Omaha territory by the Continental Tobacco company, which, short of Its patrlotif name. Is the trust. Up to date Omaha Jobbera have been noti fied of advencea In price which make a difference in the plain leaf tobacco of from 1 to 8 centa and in the finer grades of from 4 to 6 centa Cigars have not been af fected nor smoking tobacco, bu whole salers are loading up on the latter In fear of an advance. The reason given fur the higher price Is a shortage due to a smaller crop last year. The first advance was msde during the last week In April and caught Omaha houses unprepared. The advance was mad and ths dealers notified afterward, so that none had a chance to get In larger stocks. Since that time notifications have been re ceived every two or three days of a small raise In this or that brand. One of then advances of a cent waa marked up t)day, but It ia on a brand of tobacco very llttln uaed here.
