I 'or hours previous to the reseue of Superintendent Armstrong the city had been overrun by a riotous crowd of probably persons, who shouted "I town with the Americans!* and other similar cries. The excitement originated iu a trivial school incident, involving Superintendent Armstrong, and illustrating the excitable nature of the I'orto Uieans. The Superintendent reprimanded a girl, ten years of age. for disobedience. and forcibly, but harmlessly, marched her to the front from lite rear of tlic school root n. Her dress caught in a desk and was torn, and the girl reported to iter mother that site had been kicked and abused This excited the mother and setisa liotial stories were circulated, with the ! result that when the school children were dismissed a number of hoys gathered together and paraded the streets. They were joined by tunny loafers and full-grown men. and it became necessary for the police to escort Superin icndcnt Armstrong from the school utilise in ins Home. The Superintendent ami the policemen were sinned as Ilie.v passed through the streets, and as the ernwd eoustaiitly increased in size they sought refuge in the Intendeiieia bulldI ing.

The girl was taken to the hospital. The bullet entered ho hind her cap and lodged beneath tin* loft eye. Campbell was also taken to the hospital, but did not regain eon soiousnoss. Miss Treulib is nineteen years old She is the eldest daughter of Albert Treulib. a merchant of Mount Vernon, and was related by marriage to the young man who attempted her life. Miss Treulib was returning home about S o'clock p. in., when Campbell, who was hidden behind a tree with a revolver in his hand, sprang out and shot her. The girl's father said to it reporter: "My wife and myself were eating supper when we heard two shots in quick succession 1 went to the door, and as 1 opened it 1 heard Dorothy crying for her mother.
