TJfcftKANEA WIFE’SBOLDMAN AND HOOD SHOT BUT NOT DANGEROUSLY WOUNDED IN STREET DUEL WITH UNKNOWN PROWLERS.Somewhere in the outskirts ofr Spokane or in some adjacent town, a seedy looking bad man who punctured Officers Boldman and Hood with 32 caliber lead before they could get their artillery irtto action last night, is believed to be nursing his nervous system and trying to patch up a hole in his anatomy without the aid of a physician.While walking along a beat together near the intersection of Pittsburg street and Second avenue about 2:30 or 3 o’clock this morning, the officers spied two suspicious looking characters hiking along at a good gait.“Talt!” they cried almost simultaneously.“Rang! bang! bang!” was the sudden and only response and that from one of the prowler’s guns. Roth officers were shot, Boldman through the calf of his right leg and Hood in the right ankle dangerously near the tendon of Achilles, before they fully realized that they were really up against a couple of desperate ones. Both recov ered their composure sufficiently to send a few bullets from their own guns in rapid succession after the fleeting duo, before they disappeared around the corner.One of those leaden missies evidently struck one of the desperadoes in the neighbornood of the pistol pocket, for about 5 o’clock this morning the operator at Yardley, a fewr miles east of the city, telephoned to the police station that some unknown with blood running down his trouser leg and with no inclination to sit down, had just been there inquiring about the first train out. Telegrams were hurriedly sent to Sandpoint and other surrounding tow'ns, as the police be lieve the wounded man got out on an east-bound train from Yardley.The man who did the shooting is apparently between 24 and 26 years old, w'eighs about 160 pounds, smooth face, six feet two inches tall, slender, brown hair, wore a cap and black coat with high top shoes with German socks sticking about three inches out of their tops. Investigation made this afternoon revealed the fact that one of the bullets fired at the two officers perforated Hood’s coat sleeve. Hood is laid up but Boldman is walking about.♦ BALTIMORE* March ’sS-j♦ fence upon her recreant: b«b♦ Police Justice LleweHfn’s#)i♦ hospital.
