MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING AFFRAY.
Authorities Investing Affair at the Bay.
John GOODMAN, Who Was Shot on Sunday Afternoon, Has Disappeared and Cannot be
Found.
Injured Man Was Cared for by a Physician - Shot Through the Shoulder.
Since Monday Afternoon, when the matter was first
reported to the district attorney's office, Deputy Sheriff HAWLEY and Special
Officer MUIR have been investigating a shooting affray which took place on the
beach in front of Dan DONOVAN's resort on the sandbar at the bay, east of the
Sea Breeze, or in DONOVAN's place. The affair is shrouded in mystery and thus
far the efforts of the authorities have not resulted in any arrests, although an
arrest is looked for shortly. The chief difficulty seems to be in locating John
GOODMAN, said to be the victim of the shooting, and until he is discovered there
is little prospect of anyone being taken into custody. That a man was shot and
so seriously injured that the services of a physician were required has been
learned and his assailant's name is also known. Joseph SEHM is said to be
the man who did the shooting.
The shooting took place on Sunday afternoon. There had
been a crowd hanging about DONOVAN's place during the day and there had been
trouble between SEHM and GOODMAN. Just what started the row has not yet been
learned, but angry words passed between the men and they came to blows. There
were separated and later the quarrel was renewed. It was then that the shooting
took place. Two shots were fired by SEHM, the first when the revolver with which
the shooting was done was in the picket of SEHM's coat. The second shot
took effect, (didn't get rest of article.)
PAUPER HAD MONEY.
Death of Aged Woman Taken to the County House Three Weeks Ago.
Maria GROGAN, the aged woman who was found sitting on a

and was taken to the police station where it was found that she had sewed in the
linings of her skirts money in small change amounting to about $350, died last
Tuesday at the almshouse to which institution she was sent. As far as is known
the aged woman was without a relative or friend. She had worked on a farm
somewhere in the vicinity of Rochester for a great many years and at the time
she was found by the police she was coming to the city with the idea of going to
some institution. The day after she was found in the street she was taken to
Superintendent LODGE, who committed her to the almshouse.
The money that the woman had will be used in paying her burial
expenses. The remainder will be turned over to County Treasurer HAMILTON and if
