CLOSE CALL FOR AN EDITOR.

Revolver Shots And Rock Throwing At Remington Press Man. After returning home from the K. of P. banquet at Remington Thursday night, J. R. McCullough, editor of the Remington Press, was startled by a couple of revolver shots close by his house. He was sitting by the fire at the time, but arose to investigate, and Just then a rock as big as one’s fist came crashing through the window. No further demonstration was made, but the attack, if such it was, naturally caused Mr. McCullough and wife considerable uneasiness. Friday bloodhounds were brought to Remington from Indianapolis, but they did not reach there until afternoon and the rain had obliterated all scent for. the dogs to follow. So far as known Mr. McCullough has no enemies, and it is probable the disturbance was caused by some half-drunken fellows who may have been quarreling, and the rock was thrown at one of them and missed its target, landing in the Press editor’s window.
