SHOOTING AFFRAY
The third ward of our city has for some time been forgotten and
seemingly neglected, but it was not to continue. Last Saturday night
about 11 o'clock people living in the vicinity of West Main and Campbell
sts, were awakened by the shots of a revolver, interspersed with shouts
and groans. The cause of all this commotion was that Jack Shine had
attempted to kill his mistress, Lill Bhymer. It seems that Shine
brought to the girl's room several young men and soon became angry with
her through jealously or some other cause. She left the place intending
to go to her mother's house when he in his rage seized an old piece of
broken crockery and threw it at her. It struck her on the head and
caused a bad wound. Dr. Coates was soon called to dress the wound and he
pronounced it a dangerous one. The skull is fractured and the girl was
in convulsions at this writing and may never recover. Shine was
arrested about 3 p.m. in the morning by Officer Glover near the Grand
Trunk R. R. depot. After Shine threw the crockery he was chased by young
Byhmer and he fired two shots after him, but they both went wide of
their mark.
