DA1LEY FIRES SHOT AT BOYS
Bnnell Williams Beoeirei Tleih Wound
ai ft Enlt
NICKEL SAVES HIM FROM SERIOUS INJURY
Mas Who Fired the Shot Was Austere
Beeaaaej Oae of the Boys Acoom
paaylBg Williams Called Him
"Tla Cam Johnny."
Resenting being called "Tin-Can Johnny,"
Lafayette Dalley, a trucker employed at
the Union Pacific transfer, drew his re
volver and fired at a crowd of boys on
Broadway near Twenty-third street
Wednesday night. The bullet struck Rus
sell Williams, the young son of James R.
Williams, residing at 9 South Twenty
fourth street. Inflicting a flesh wound. The
bullet struck a nickel In the boy's pocket
and Us course diverted, otherwise It would
have entered his groin and probably would
have proved a fatal wound.
The shooting occurred about 10 o'clock
and shortly before 1 o'clock yesterday
morning Dalley was arrested at his home
by Police Captain Schaffer and Detective
Richardson and placed In the city Jail. An
Information waa filed In Justice Green's
court by the boy'e father and the grand
Jury yesterday afternoon returned an In
dictment' against Dalley on the charge of
assault with Intent to commit murder. In
default of ball, placed at $1,0(10, Dalley was
committed to the county Jail.
Young Williams, with a number of boys
of that neighborhood, was returning home
from Cochran park and had reached the
corner of Broadway and Twenty-third
street In front of W. I. Smith's grocers
store when they encountered Dalley, who
Is said to be somewhat eccentric. As
Dalley passed the boys one of them called
after him, "There goes Tin-Can Johnny."
Dalley seemed to pay no attention to the
taunt, but when he had proceeded about
fifty feet, he suddenly wheeled around,
drew his revolver and fired Into the
crowd. Dalley, after firing the shot, made
off, while his companions cnrrled young
Williams to hla home nearby, where his
wound was dressed.
When the 'officers went to Dalley's house
he odmitted firing the shot, but claimed
he shot In the air and not with the Inten
tion of hitting any of the boys. Dalley is
said to be of quiet and orderly .habits, but
on account of his eccentricities has been
made. It Is said, the butt of boys In that
neighborhood.
Other Indictments Returned.
The grand Jury, which completed Its de
liberations yesterday, returned nine In
dictments, three of which were not made
public, as the defendants named in them
are not In custody.
Two indictments were returned against
John Clarey, charged with the theft of a
set of buggy harness valued at $25 from the
barn of Frank Whltsett at 624 Fourth street
on the night of March 23 last. One Indict
ment charges breaking and entering, and
the other larceny from a building In the
night time. His ball was placed at $300
under each indictment.
An Indictment was returned against C. W
Tullls. the Great Western switchman
charged with the theft of a barrel of tripe
from a freight car In the company's yards
on the night of April 27. Tullls' bond was
placed at $600.
Frank Currle was Indicted on the charge
of keeping an opium Joint at 17 North
Twelfth street. In default of bail fixed at
$M0 Currle Is In the bounty Jail.
Zacharlah Taylor, who was arrested a
few days ago for assaulting his wife and
blacking both her eyes, had a surprise
sprung on him yesterday afternoon by
the authorities. He was rearrested under
an Indictment returned at the August
term last year, charging him with assault
ing his wife with Intent to Inflict great
bodily Injury. The assault Is said to have
been committed July 28.' According to the
testimony of Mrs. Taylor and of her
daughter, Luella. Taylor requested his
wife to get his shot gun, as he wished to
pawn It to raise some money. Mrs. Tay
lor did as her husband requested and the
latter loaded it and levelling it at his
wife, told her he was going to shoot her.
The daughter grabbed the gun by the bar
rel and pulled It down, while her mother,
taking the baby In her arms, ran from the
house. The bond under the Indictment
was placed at $600, in default of which
Taylor went bacli to the county Jail.
An Indictment was returned against the
Illinois Central Railroad company on the
charge of obstructing a public highway
near the overhead crossing of the North
western railway at Loveland. The rail
road la charged with obstructing this high
way during the years 1906, 1906 and 1907.
It Is complained that the Illinois Central
dug a trench twenty-eight feet wide and
100 feet In length along the public high
way. The grand Jury returned a "no bill" In
the case of W. 8. Barnett, charged with
resisting an officer on the night of April
14 at his home on Harrison street when
placed, under arrest for disturbing the
peace and striking his daughter.

DBS MOINE8, May 8. (Special.) A fear
that a departed husband will show dis
pleasure when he la met In the future
world Is not "undue Influence" In the mean
ing of the law aa applied to the making of
wills, according to the supreme court In
a decision given today.
The cose Is appealed from Cedar district.
Before bis death the husband of Jane Pow
ell exacted a promise that she would deed
tho property to his relatives. She did so.
She died June 20, 1906, and her relatives
objected to the filing and probating of the
will on the ground that It was the result
of undue Influence.
They asserted that she had a hallucination
that when she met her departed husband
In the next world he would be displeased
If she did not keep her promise and that
she herself would suffer for breaking her
promise. They argued that this hallucina
tion that her promise was binding amounted
to undue influence. The supreme court
holds differently. It holds that such an
article of faith Is not the result of a
diseased mind, but argues that nearly
everybody has some belief of existence In
another world and the beliefs vary, and
that the person who acta on such belief
Is not acting under undue Influence.
