- ARTHUR LINDBERG INROLE OF HERO ‘Man Shot Saving Girl Will Re- cover-Gets Many Rewards Frank E. Lindberg, chauffeur for Mrs. M. N, Judd of Pranklin Square, hus returned from Great Neck, Long Island, where he had been called to ‘ the bedside of his brother, Arthur Lindberg, a former resident of this city, who was shot through thé head . k ago Saturday night by a Brooklyn man who attempted to mur- der a young woman of that place. Mr. Lindburg found his brother in & very weakened condition after his experience with the gun-wielder, but he is expected to recover. The bullet entered Mr. Lindburg through the back of the head and came out behind his right ear. Mr. Lindberg lived in this city up to about 1% years ago when he secured his present position as chauffeur in Long Island. He is married and has two children. Besides ' his brother Frank, he has another, Harold C. Lindberg, also of this city. In rélating his experience with the gunman, the former local man told the following story: ‘The fight started as I was return- ing home and walking down one of the side streets at Great Neck, I ‘passed a house where there wad a party going on. A yeung woman came out of the house and as she passed a clump of bushes, a man jumped out at her. The man happened to be a barber of Brooklyn who is sald to have been madly in love with the girl while she paid no attention to him at all. Leveling his revolver at her, he exclaimed, ‘Marry me or I will shedt you and kill myself’ The girl scréamed, and as she did, two shots weré fired into her body by her as- sailant. She collapsed and I ran over to the spot and grappled with the gun wielder. I attempted to wrest the pistol from his hand. As I got his hand twisted over my head he pulled the trigger twice, one shot entering my head and the other going wild. I do not know whether or not he tried to kill me. At any rate, I feit a burning sensation but did not know I was struck. - Battling with him, I finally got a ‘scissors hold’ around his neck and getting the gun out of his hand, I beat him upon the head until he was unconscious. At that time help came. I was taken to the Mineo- la hospital with the girl and the would-be murderer where all three of us were treated.” Mr. Lindberg remained at the hos- pital until Friday of last week and insisted on being removed to his home. He is now under the care of a special nurse and physician. The young woman {8 in a serious condi- tion but she is expected to recover. The gunman is still in the hospital. Rev.
