) Coin.

only because he was fortunate enough to
have a half -dollar in his waistcoat pocket
on Tuesday when Clark Howes tried to
shoot him. One of five bullets fired by
Howes struck the coin and prevented
what undoubtedly woulet have been a
fatal wOund. Another entered Dunn's
lefts legsat the knee and lamed him so
that he had to be taken se the HartforT
Hcspilal. Howes is in jail on a charge
of attempted murder. Dunn had ac-
cused Howes of insulting his wile by
too 'pronounced attentions in the street,
and on Tuesday the men raet in the
pcstoffiee. Without a word Howes drew
a revolver and (iced repeatedly. Sev-
eral women who were in tho place
fainted and the men tied, but Miss H.
Everleene West, a leacher, wild was the
first to regain her composure, urged the
men to save Dunn while his enemy was
still shooting, They rushed upon Howes
in a body and held him until policemen
arrived.

TRAVELING Oft STREET sum
A dress suitable for traveling or
etreet wear would look well made of
the lightweight woolens, silks, or lin-
ens. The skirt of the one described was
box plaited. The color was blue. There
was a perfect fitting nine gored slip
skirt of green and blue checked taffeta,
with full bias flounce about twelve
ieehes deep around the bottom. The
outside was one of the new cloths,
smooth in finish and with an Invisible
check, ail 01 blue. There weroWie
same number of . gores as in the slip
skirt, none of them flaring much, each
gore al the bottom measuring about
twice the width of the one at the hip.

pinned to the gores, and each plait
should be even with the skirt al the top.
