THINK RISK SHOT HIMSELF
Police Believe Officer Accidentally
dropped Hit Own Gun.
DON'T THINK PROWLER SHOT HIM
This Cnnrlaalon la Draws After Ea
amlaattoa of Wm aad Clr.
the Whole ABalr.
That officer Earl O. Risk was snot by
himself accidentally. Instead of by a prow
ler whom he was Investigating, Is believed
by persons who are acqjAlnted with the
facts and details of the esse.
The affair occurred at Twentieth street
and Poppleton avenue, between 3 and S
o'clock Tuesday morning, while Risk was
walking his beat. According to his story,
he challenged a suspicious looking man who
was across the street and wss shot by
the man, who escaped without giving Risk
a chance to see who he was.
After detectives Investigated the case
with the Intention of apprehending the man
who was supposed to have shot Risk, snd
after Dr. E. C. Henry had extracted the
bullet and dressed the wound at the Gen
eral hcspttal, the case assumed a different
nature.
It was found that Risk's wound, which
was In the right ankle, was due to a bullet
which took an upward course; that the
wnund wss cajsed by a bullet of the caliber
carried In Risk's revolver; that thera
was an empty shell In the officer's wea
pon and that a dent on the revolver might
Indicate that he had dropped it on the
pavement.
And now down at the police headquar
ters the police are chuckling to themselves
about Risk's thrilling strry.
Daniel May Hold
On Spite of Jim
City Prosecutor Hat Chance to Keep
Job by Loophole in Charter
Amendments.
Herbert 8. Daniel may succeed himself
as city prosecutor whether Mayor Dahlman
wants him or not.
An error In the charter amendments
makes It open to question whether the
mayor may appoint a city prosecutor or
not. In one section it provides for the ap
pointment of such an officer by the mayor,
but when the charter prescribes the order
In which the officers shsll be named, it
omits to say the mayor shall appoint the
city prosecutor or In what order.
Some of the "Jims" are willing to charge
that the error was not altogether a mistake
on the part of some ot the friends of Mr.
Daniel. They are not Inclined to be sors
about It, for, though Daniel supported Mer
rymsn for ths nomination, good friends of
Dahlman say he voted for Jim at the
polls and consistently supported the entire
democratic ticket as against the republican
ticket.
By a fight It is claimed Mr. Daniel could
hold the office under Mayor Dahlman be
cause of the omission. It is considered a
good technicality and technicalities are
said to be valuable nowadays.
