EL PASO, Tex., May 2lL—Information comes here that the cause of the arrest of Professor John H.

Special Dispatch to The Call. COLUSA, May 1l.—Constable Henry 8. Gentry wal shot and perhaps seriously injured late last evening by a drink crazed man nearly 50 years of age in Gentry's home at Willlams. That he was not sub- sequently killed was due to the courage of his little son. Erastus Edgett, who did the shooting. accused young Gentry, a boy 12 years of age, of turning some chickens into his (Edgett's) garden and became so abusive that the Constable bade him be silent. The old man then rushed into his house near by and returned with a revolver. He fired at the Constable, striking him in the left thigh. The officer clinched with Edgett, wrested the weapon from his hands and started with him to the town jail, but he had only gone a short dis- tance when he fainted from the loss of blood. The old man started again for the house, 1l get my shotgun and finish you. The Constable’s son grabbed the pistol which had fallen and held the old man up under threats of death until some men came to his assistance and arrested the would-be murderer. Constable Gentry passed a very bad night, but the attending physician thinks he will pull through if blood polsoning does not set in. Both persons are well known throughout this section of the State. ————— SPECIAL LOCOMOTIVE BREAKS SPEED RECORD Mining President and a Capitalist Make a Whirlwind Run to Chico.
