ATTEMPT MADE TO KILL A CITIZEN OF BILLINGS
Special Dispatch to the Standard
Billings, Dec. 4. -- An attempt was made to take the life of Charles I. Gardner. a well-known citizen of this city, last night. Mr. Gardner had just entered his home in East Billings when the report of a revolver rang out on the stillness of night and a bullet whistled close to Gardner's head. As near as could be told the person who fired was in the cellar under the house, the door of which cellar opens on the porch on which Gardner was standing. Investigation was made by officers who were telephoned for, but no one could be found. The person had escaped from the cellar, presumably by means of a passage leading out on the opposite side of the house.
