Would Burn Insane Asylum.
Little Rock, Dec. 26.—Two at
tempts to burn Ward No. 1 of
the Pulaski County hospital,
southwest of the city, were made
early last night. The first fire
easily was extinguished by the
superintendent, Dr. J. P. Shep
pard, and his staff of internes,
who manned the emergency fire
apparatus, but the second blaze
burned fiercely for half an hour,
and necessitated calling the Lit
tle Rock Fire Department.
Dense clouds of smoke filled the
three floors of the ward, and a
near-panic resulted among 50
startled and half-stifled patients.
The damage will amount to
about $400.
Shortly after 6:30 o’clock Dr.
Sheppard was notified by one of
the internes that smoke was is
suing from under the floor at
the rear of the building. Hur
riedly the fire was located eating
through a pile of chips and woo
den blocks, and without difficul
ty it was scattered and extin
guished. But ilttle smoke re
sulted from this fire, which was
scarcely started, and Dr. Shep
pard and his corps of nurses
were quieting excited patients
on the first floor of the ward
when a second alarm was sound
ed about 15 minutes after the
first.
Evidently angered at his first
-fnilnvp Hip inppiiHiiil'V. who is
thought by Dr. Sheppard to be
a half-witted negro patient,
must have again crawled under
the building, repiled his kero
sene-soaked chips and blocks ov
er a larger area and re-fired the
mass, which was roaring merri
ly when discovered. Great
clouds of smoke poured up
through the floors. Patients on
the first floor became excited,
and were restrained with difficul
ty. Soon the excitement spread
to those on the upper floors, and
Dr. Sheppard gave an order to
the corps of nurses to prepare
to empty the structure.
Shot In Scuffle Over Gun.
Andrew Allen was shot and
painfully injured Christmas day
near Newark while scuffling with
Tom Magness for possession of a
22 rifle.
The accident occurred at Mag
ness’ home near the Chamber
lain ferry. The men were in per
fectly good humor and were scuf
fling for the possession of the
gun when it was accidentally dis
charged, the ball striking Allen
in the lower edge of the chin
and entering his neck. It plow
ed its way downward and lodged
presurhably 'near the collar bone.
Allen bled profusely and it was
feared that he would die from
the loss of blood before a physi
cian could reach him.
Dr. Evans went over and
dressed the wound and probed
for the bullet but was unable to
extract it. Allen was reported
Friday to be resting very well
but Dr. Evans stated that he
was yet unable to tell just how
serious the wound might be, but
he rather feared it was going to
be of serious nature.—Newark
Journal.
