Crane had his finger on the trigger and in the tussle the gun was discharged, the bullet plowing Into the floor of the car a few inches from Barton's head. -groes Take to Heels. I.'pon the firing of the shot the ne groes took to flight and the car was cleared In less than a minute. Crane and Horak called an ambulance and sent Barton to the Emergency Hospital. In the meantime, McDaniel had re turned to the yards with Sergeant Van Overn. Acting on McDaniel'e sugges tion, the policemen searched the car for liquor and unearthed three suit cases filled with whisky and one negro porter, who had been hiding under mattress. All the porters who could be found in the vicinity disclaimed ownership of the liquor. Beyond several lacerations of the scalp and numerous bruises. Barton's injuries are not believed to be serious. When he recovers sufficiently to leave the Emergency Hospital he will be tried on a charge of impersonating an officer. Pacific Coast Shipping Notes. ASTORIA. Or., March 8. (Special.)
